Anyone...

I have my tekin 1900 system, When I program it, the sensor wire won't allow it to go. When it is unplugged it spins. I calibrated like the instructions say. Any suggestions?

The system works without the sensor wire, also the fan doesn't spin.

Make sure you have the motor wires connected in the proper order, A-A, B-B, and C-C.

while my new 8 wont see 1 of these any time soon like its 1/10 brothers here on the workbench. i will say i had the privilege in watching some of these units being born out at the factory yesterday and take heart folks that they are really behind this movement and feel its the next 'real big deal'. they are in fact preparing for a 6hr race out west against all nitro rides. hope there's some vid!!

I took Jube's advice and geared up to 46/18 and WOW did it come alive. Ran it in practice hard with full EPA and ran for 18+ minutes and I know I could have made 20. Motor was at at cool 160 degrees

It isn't doing anything now. It appears to have just died. No LEDs no sound. My servo is still working but that's it...

Call Tekin on Monday... If your ESC went bad take it out and box it up and send it express to them It will be back to you in a few days! Tekin is #1 when it comes to service!
