Tekin Prez

OK I can recreate the boost rpms going back to default. The only way I can make it happen is to not fully select the start rpm after hitting 'calc rpm's'. There is a ghost box around the rpm's that has to also be black background and may take more than 1 click. There may be more to it, but it seems as long as you click the start rpms a few times and make sure it is selected and highlighted it works correctly. We will put in some checks and balances to make sure it cannot happen.

This is how it's told me.
The thing I now is, is that the top speed is lower than that from the Tekin.
The Tekin has the most power in the top speed. Thanks to the Turbo, the speedo keeps accelerating faster than the other speedo's. The Turbo ramp is fantastic.

I got it once and I was thinking that I didn't connect the hotwire not right. I didn't had the connector from the speedo fully in the hotwire plug.
Now it works fine.

I always check if he saved the settings to my speedo.
This way I'm sure that it went right.

Thanks Krio. That's my understanding as well. I'd like to know how long the reverse delay/time out/whatever you want to call it is.

Yep, I've had it once also but never managed to recreate it. That was from setting the ESC for 5 different people too! Happy it can be recreated. Far easier to fix when you know the reason!

Just to be perfectly clear . . .
I think the following is a better representation of the highlighted text.

So, if you set Turbo Boost at 10, with a delay of 0.5, then the speedo will begin to give the motor 10 degress of timing after WOT has been held for 0.5 secs.

hopefully the explanation of the explanation doesn't confuse!

okay so the vista riddle was solved thanks.... but i still cant calibrate my radio..it just blinks after the calibration.

I am a bit confused if the Hotwire setup is buggy on me, or is supposed to be like this; maybe someone can lend a hand.

I am trying to use the Jeff Cuffs setup, in which the Start RPM is 2000, the End RPM is 7000; 3.0 ramp rate.

Issue I am having is if you select a END RPM of 7000, and then click "Calc RPM" I'm given a bunch of odd numbered choices, 2473 being the only one close to 2000 - and I cannot input my own number for the start RPM. I can only pick one from the list that pops up after clicking "Calc RPM"

Is it functioning correct?

Try turning your throttle to "reverse" mode on you radio and then recalibrate with the esc.

I just tried that..and it made me do it backwards,, in regards to instead of hitting throttle i had to hit break and then i hit throttle when i am supposed to hit break. Either way after that it still kept on blinking.. lights blinking are 1 3 5. thanks for any help

Previously in this thread, it's been said that 1 3 5 is the low voltage cutoff indicator.

On the general question of radio calibration, I've found that if your full brake is too low, it won't accept it. I had this happen when I reset my radio to defaults, and that included a brake thumb adjuster endpoint of 50%. Once I bumped that up, it worked fine.

Had the exact same thing happen last night installing a brand new RS in my TC. The one in my 1/12 scale installed flawlessly the first time. It kept not finding nuetral regardless of what the nuetral setting was at (anywhere from 5-20). I just happened to try a different model in the transmitter that had not been used before and it calibrated right off the bat. Have no idea why, but it worked so if you have mulitple models available in your transmitter, just try one that has the factory default settings still there. Might work.

While I was trying to get it installed in the beginning, I noticed that if I went to the dual rate/expo screen on the radio and pulled the trigger, you could see the slide bar on the graph move and once I got to about 1/2 throttle, the esc started to beep like it was finding nuetral, then beep again as I had full throttle, and beep a third time when I let go to center. Again, this was with the nuetral setting at 5 in the esc and expo turned off in the radio. All end points were at 0.


PS. I have not had an occassion where the setting did nto stick. You guys scared me in to checking both cars!

you can only pic what is set,even the end rpm will change by a small amount after your done and reconnect the hotwire

Make sure any ABS is off on the radio if yours has that option and after you switch the throttle reverse you have to recalibrate the ESC.

Reverse engineering these HID commands is a pain in the balls. Any chance you guys would release the protocol in case someone wanted to toy around with making their own software for other platforms?

Interesting chip in the Hotwire, certainly not the usb/serial bridge I was expecting.
