Does anyone know how to repair a dead RS that has been plugged in reversed polarity ?

Not something I would attempt to fix, I would rather send it in for service.

Lol I did this also. Just send it in. If its out of warranty its worth to fix it.

Hey guys. Just trying to get my head around a few thing with the esc. Mainly RPM ranges.

How do you figure out what end RPM you should set? I've figured out that the end rpm and boost amount dictates what start RPM options are available, and that the lower the end rpm (and closer to the start rpm) the faster the boost comes in.

What effect does the speed the boost comes in at have on heat? Is a longer period better for lowering heat? What is too much rpm to set as an endpoint?

Here's my current setup:

Tekin RS / Tekin Redline 17.5 / Boosted Stock TC

Motor: 0
Boost: 45
Turbo: 10
Turbo Delay: 0.3
Turbo ramp: 2
Start Rpm: 5000(ish)
End Rpm: 12000
FDR: 5.73

Temp after 5min race: 78*C

I'm going for a little more top speed here, and sacrificing some punch. Smooth through the infield and big top speed for the massive straight is what works at our track.

Thanks for the help

end rpm is based on size of track and motor,your not to far off what size of a track

Track is 52m x 37m. designed for up to 1/5 scale cars. I was still lacking some speed down the straight, maybe another 10* turbo would have done it, or another tooth on the pinion, but i ran out of motor temp to play with.

I was hoping increasing the rpm end might help bring the temp down so I could add a little more.

Try gearing 5.0 and
boost 35
turbo 15

I feel that more turbo and less boost works great on big tracks

Hi,

Could someone give me a good start with a Tekin RS Pro and A 10.5T motor, for a small track to run my TRF417. I need boost.

Thanks !

Are you using the HT or HS PRT? or another motor?

kedal

Hi,

I will use the High Speed PRT 2011, for the Antibes's track (asphalt, small)

olly986

Wollow86 setup above is good as a base, just run max rpm at around 20000 and min 5000 fdr at 7.50ish for a 10.5t, HT PRT might be better for a shorter track but not a necessity, you can set it via the speedo.

Hope this help to start with.

Amuse toi bien et surtout verifie la temperature et met un ventilo si il fait chaud sur le moteur.
A+

kedal

Thanks I will try this for the start

J'ai deja un HT, mais je vais essayer le HS

I have an issue about half-way into the race where my power just drops significantly(losing about half a sec a lap in avg). It's not that "I lost my turbo issue" because the turbo is still there. Just losing punch in the entire power band. My SP MMM motor is temping at 140F, and the esc is about 110F. I was suggested my batt might suck, but I noticed this with my TP 40C, gensace 40C, and the new orion 90C (all 5000mah). There are guys running similar setups with little loss in power. What could be happening

Make sure the motor its self isnt getting tired. i have ran into this where the motor has gotten just worn out starts out really strong and then drops off quickly.
