update on 10.5
Ok I ordered the endbell set with bearing. My LHS said just endbells on backorder. Supposed to be in thursday but not gonna be in till monday. I went ahead and reassembled to motor and now Im pretty sure I @#$ked it up. The youtube video makes it look so easy but I still messed it up. Got it all together and now I think the rotor is hitting the sensor board. Is there a shim or spacer that i lost or some magic trick to get it to work?

Went to the track today for a local trophy race. I took the 10.5 that i thought I messed up. The local sponsored tekin driver really helped me out. He helped me put it together right and it works great. More power than I know what to do with LOL. I am now a tekin fan for life. He was racing several classes and still had time to help me out. Just goes to show the type of people tekin sponsor.

I am sure you guys have been asked this question many times but here it goes again. What can I do to make my Tekin RS pros smoother? I am running one in a RB5 with an 8.5 and one in a T4 With a 8.5. I have noticed driving Orions, Hobbywings, and LRP, that they just seem to be smoother. I have been playing around with it and just cant quite seem to get it where I want it. Thanks!

Could anyone make suggestions on starting setup for my RS/Redline17.5.
running 12th scale. 1s, 17.5 boost. rolling out around 80mm average but getting dusted in the infield by duo3s ect.
i followed someones suggestion on our own forums for starting timing settings but those are for their trinity motors, so looking for advice using Tekin motors if possible.

WGT
Would be nice to see some RS setups for the WGT class 13.5 ramped/unramped and 10.5 ramped (like the IIC). Pleeeeeze.

im just wondering if its possible to get Turbo Function on the RX8 ?
also what is the difference in the motors, 2 pole, 4 pole and 6 pole.
are any of these motors not able to use Turbo ?
im am asking as i run the setup in 1/8th Onroad. my 966E. we are lacking top speed, and feel that the motors need some form of Turbo function . cars are great out of corners, but just dont have the top speed.

208 vs. 212
Previously I had a Tekin RS running the 208 software and was quite fast in "blinky" non-boosted 17.5 That speedo went "puffed' when I plug the battery in backwards so it go replaced. When I programmed the new RS, the 208 was no longer available so I updated it with 212.
Running with the 212, I noticed that the throttle is a bit sluggish compared to when I ran the RS with the 208. It also starts up slow when powering on. The 208 controller would arm within 2 secs after powering up. The 212 would not arm until I give it some throttle input. At first I thought maybe this was a new safety feature of the 212 but now I'm beginning to wonder.
To compensate for the sluggishness, I had to increase the throttle punch on my radio (KO Helios). That seem to work a bit. However, the car still doesn't seem to be so fast on the straight as it was when running the 208 software. I was running a D3 17.5 with a 3.5 FDR with timing advance on the motor pegged at the fullest. I was out pulling people on the straight with the 208 and now running the 212 people are out pulling me.
Is there some adjustment on the "speed tune" that I overlooked? Is this an issue with the neutral "dead band" adjustment? Also, I have heard that software on some speed controls actually retards timing on the motor if it senses that the load is too much, is this the case? Would raising my FDR or reducing the timing advance on the motor fix this?
