Thanks Much Tekin Prez!
One quick noobie question:
I understand that I should have my "ABS" turned off during calibration. Would you recommend leaving it disabled while I drive?
My setup: AE TC5R, Tekin RS, Tekin 17.5, Futaba 3PKS.

if the esc timing allows you to get better acceleration, is this cos purely from the lower gearing you can run, I gather?
I have tried all combos, and to be honest with you, my car is not out running a normal esc car with normal gearing. Not that I dont see the benefits of running tekin. I love the small physical size compared to the monster lrps and novaks.

First off again, im not bashing the esc timing! I'm using the RS and SPX and cannot see the real benefits, as yet.

I share your opinion

I dont really agree with motor timing statements you made.
motor timing, to me anyway, affects not just the initial first few feet, but the entire power range. I know this is an onroad forum, but when I apply full throttle, and then change the timing, I can physically see the tyre expand considerably! More motor timing equals less torque, and more rpm. So your statements are very contradictive to what actually happens in real situations.

Are you refering to the tyre growth of off road tyres in the air at full throttle? If so this is a function of unloaded RPM, but not really a measure of power- it's not the same thing.

But regardless, you can see on track that advance motor timing does substantially increase top end, with the downside of less torque. Whereas stated earlier, motor timing apparently only affects the first few feet, which I disagree.

I think you're mincing words here. The Tekin Prez was trying to provide a simplification for how things work. What is more correct (and a lot wordier and confusing) is that of the three referenced types of timing (motor, boost, and turbo), only motor affects the start, motor + boost affect the middle, and motor + boost + turbo affect the top end.

I've been having a problem with my RS recently. I seem to lose power to the car intermittently. Sometimes I lose steering as well and sometimes I dont, just motor. What could it be? Is it possible I blew the cap? Would that do that? All the wires seem fine.

profile search
Okay guys just need to have a little help with setting up my rs pro for 13.5, it will be in a cyclone tc and the track is 120x60. Im looking for profile and gearing with a redline 13.5 motor. I do have the hotwire and the latest 198 software. Trying to get this setup before sundays race in Camarillo.
Thanks

Sounds like an issue with power getting to the reciever. That could be the BEC, the wires running from the ESC to the reciever, or the reciever itself. I would check the wires where it plugs into the reciever...I see often on club transponders where we'll get an internal break in the wire but the insulation is fine so from the outside the wire looks fine. The same thing could be happening to your ESC.

I had the same with my Spektrum receiver. Open it up and get rid of all the debris and the problem will go away.

Ron P,
Start out with a FDR of 5.2 and work your way down based on temp.
Set your motor timing to 8-12 and boost at 20. No drag brake and 60
brake strength to start...the lower the brake strength the lower your
motor temp will be.
Good luck!

The RS or RSPro, starts with the set motor timing, which is what the prez was referring to as to why it effects the start-up, THEN moves to the other features of timing adjustment in the RS or RSPro, one being boost, and soon, turbo. (and these will do what they do with the given starting physical timing that you set the motor at) Each of those are unique in what they do, but all help to increase rpm (overall speed)
, without sacrificing low end power,, and when all is set up correctly to use all of these features, it also helps keep heat lower at the same time. Thats means its more efficient too, so the battery holds a higher peak, that makes you faster also.Your face hurt from all that smiling yet?
Hope I got that right prez,
Going to see you at IIC?
