I love the new 208 software...

I have no problems with it. I followed the instructions from Tekin and installed it on my laptop and my hobby shop computer and works great.

Default Tekin RS problem: Steering works, throttle dead

So, on Saturday I was at WCRC, and after hitting the double/tabletop jump, my B4 landed and just stopped moving. I pulled it off and noticed that the steering worked, but the throttle was dead.

I tried different sensor wires, 2 different motors, still nothing.

The LEDs on the RS all light up in sucession when I pull the trigger, and also light up when I brake, just as they normally would do...the only thing is that the motor doesn't move. I tried a brand-new motor, and the same thing...speedo lights up, but no movement.

I switched the channels of my receiver just to make sure it wasn't that, and the channels work fine (pulling the trigger steered the servo, turning the wheel lit up the LEDs on the speedo).

Anyone have something like this happen before?

only time is when the power leads shorted together and the controller lost the program. I hooked it up to the hot wire and downloaded the defaults, then changed the settings and everything worked like normal again.

does it beep when turning on,make sure the voltage is set,this happens when going from 2cell to 1cell and you forgot to switch to 1cell.check solder joints and try moving the car and giving throttle at the same time

I don't have the Hot Wire. I guess I'll go pick that up tonight from my LHS. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

i know,this is a problem that some have when going from 2-1 it does the same thing,ramp and no movement,check to make sure it did not change the voltage,it is a long shot but with some funny things happening anything is possible.try a reset and recalibrate

Hello There,

Does anyone have a LRP X12 8.5 Brushless 1/12th setup in the sensord mode? And what Spur and pinion should I use?

Here's the track size and my car info:

yes, it's the weirdest thing i've ever seen, i work with embedded controllers and firmware every day, i cannot for the life of me work out why a simple software flash can cause this

with 203 i run my brakes at 65-75% on the radio, with 208 even on 100% they are strong but delayed when braking from high speed (ie. turbo mode on) the motor is turning in the 50k+ rpm mark.

I can see the full brake lights flashing so there's no issue with not getting full signal.
