Running vista and for the life of me I can't get 223 to download it just freezes during download, Iv'e tried every problem solution listed on your website. Need hhelp thanks in advance
Just double check your setting again I know that at one point I had the same issue due to the fwd setting. Make sure its towards the bottom on the 2s setting with BL-FW. Mine was set at a brushed motor for some reason and it started blinking 1,2,6,7. Otherwise download a known good setup and give it a whirl.
i m trying to update to 223 but it keep telling me to update hotwire software and when i downloaded hotwire software. it restart my computer and i had to start all over again. then i reset my rs and it will ask me to update hotwire software again
is there something wrong with my rs?

It's almost as if profile C1 has the boost and turbo values swapped. It starts out at a slightly-faster-than-blinky RPM, waits a little bit, then ramps up to dentist drill speeds. C2 ramps immediately.

This question is for Randy......In blinky mode is it considered R.O.A.R. legal to use the throttle curves? You can check the box that says locked spec....but you can also still use the curves if you are in C1 throttle profile. Is this still legal in Blinky? I've always ran the more aggressive throttle profiles and it will not feel the same to me if throttle is linear. Thanks Randy.

Can anyone advice on tekin rs ESC motor limit. On tekin website it says that this esc support 7.5 and more and my local dealer tries to convince that it supports 4.5 and more. I want to drive modified with 4.5 motor and dont know if i will damage it. I have tried to use 5.5 motor without any timing and boost and after 5 min run on big track i got motor temp +50C and esc temp +72C. Can be and issue that need rs pro esc or this is other thing look at?

What brand motor are you running?
If ESC temp is higher then motor temp it indicates that the motor is a bit undergeared and the ESC has to switch a lot so that explaines the higher temp on the esc.
Go up a tooth or 2 on the pinion and run it again and check both temps again.
Normally the motor temp should be a bit higher then the ESC.
Also try to locate the terminals of the ESC into the the airflow or if that isn't possible glue a fan on your chassis running it in the direction of the ESC.

My Tekin RS Pro finally bit the big one last week. While racing it suddenly slowed as though it had gone into Blinky (Stock) mode. Took the car off, gave the norm a wiggle (sensor cable, sensor port) put it back down and it started working, for a few laps. After that it reverted back to slow speed again.
Still, not bad for a speedo that has done a little over 2 and a half years service !
I am wondering though if it is just the sensor port playing up. I took the casing off to find alot of the solder joints look pale and grey rather than like solder. Says to me that it is corroding with age. I just wonder if I might be able to reoslve it though to use as a backup. Has anyone else had a similar issue at all, and did you manage to get it repaired ?
Im not unhappy at all....im quite pleased a product could last that long with the abuse it gets in my TC.
