I'm am looking over a car for a friend of mine and i wanted to get clarification on the LED codes.


His ESC has the latest software loaded. I was reading through the manual and came accross the section called RS DRIVE MODES. Reading though here suggested that we should be seeing LED 5,6 and 7 lit up "dimly" verifying a working sensor system..

His does not have those LED lit. When Powered on LED 4 is lit at neutral and as you use the brakes or throttle the LEDS count upwards as throttle is applied.

I do not know what MODE his is set in DUAL DRIVE or SENSORED ONLY but assume the sensor wire is nessary for both. And i should be seing 5,6,7 right?

I will try a new sensor wire to see if these LED's light up. But before i beat my self up over this, can u regular tekin users confirm i should be seing the dimly lit 5,6,7 LEDS? Is it possible these do not apply to the latest firmware? the manuals dont always get updated.

Thanks in advance..

Functionally everything appears fine, the car drives well.

The LED's still light up dimly as you rotate the rotor.

You will see led's 5,6,7 if you rotate the drivetrain over. You should see them rolling from one led to the next as you rotate the motor over.

thanks guys, i tried a sensor wire, no joy, looking for a second wire to try.... might be the hal inside the motor then...

So powered on just push the car on the ground to rotate the motor and my LED4 at neutral should go and and 5,6,7 should come on dimly... So far that is not happening. So looks like a sensor wire or motor issue..

Thanks ill report back if i solve this.

thanks SMOKE those are great..

Looks like its the motor... 3 wires later still not 567 action.

Thanks guys

one last question, it does not matter if the car is dual mode or not correct?

IF a motor swap is not available right now, is there any danger to the ESC if he continues to use this? He runs a 9.5 lrp.

there is no problem in using dual mode,the led's are very dim and can be hard to see if your out doors

running 10.5 TC and I seem to be losing rip after a handful of laps. Fast as all get-out at the start but 10 laps in I am running basically a 13.5 w/ no timing. tried it in 'blinky' mode and it is does not seem to have the speed or rip a 10.5 should.

generally 30+ timing and 10 turbo. nothing really extreme. I've swapped motors and batteries. track is 90x40

looking for an idea of what I might need to do. speedo has some miles on it but has never been hot or cross-wired.

gearing is 6 +/- a tooth or two. 5-10 timing on motor.

thanks in advance.
