Tekin RS/RS PRO on 1s Lipo Q&A
#751
Sometimes I've seen that happen, but after trying to uncheck the box for a second time and applying the changes the settings changed as I desired. You could also downgrade the software (try V 2.00) and perform the upgrade to V 2.03 again to see if it makes a difference.
The cutoff, when activated, will cause the car to seem like it's suddenly losing power, then stops moving altogether. I've hit the cutoff once, and glad that I had it active - doing so might have saved the battery...

Yeah just keep hitting it until it takes it. Might take a few tries but it will eventually.

What was really wierd was after not accepting the unchecked box, I also changed another setting and unchecked the box and only the other seting was accepted.

For those of you using the 220mah Li-Fe receiver pack how many amps do you charge the pack at and can you leave the pack fully charged or does it need to discharged down so many percent?
#755
I believe charging at 4.5 times the pack's rating is OK; so, 1.0A works. I am just being safe.

Help
Hi all
Here is the situation I am in with a Tekin RS and my 12th scaler
GEN-XL
1S Lipo rated 4900 mAh
2S RX pack rated 250 mAh
Voltage Regulator to RX rated 6V 1.5 A
Tekin RS FW V203
Hotwire V4.0
Was running practice with V203 and was fine for 5 laps then all of a sudden it started sputtering/bogging down, temp was under 100F. Back to the bench, the motor will quickly bog down when throttle is pressed quickly, it can ramp slowly and turn the motor until it reaches the RPM Start range (maybe). I monitered the RX pack output via scope and remained constant at 6V. Vbat at esc +/- was monitored with scope and found to be solid until the bogging/sputtering occurs, then I get a 4.1V nominal with a Vpp at 3.5/4.4V so this indicates large current surge. Also when the motor bogs down I get a high pitched squeel out of the RS.
Tried changing FW back to V198 and this got better if not totally back to normal.
Reset FW back to V203 and got same results (BAD). I reduced the Timing down to 20 degrees and same result. Reduced down to 0 degrees same result.
All motor connections seem fine, motor timing mechanically is at 0 on my Havok 17.5
Not sure where to go from here except reconfirm V198 has no issue.
Thanks

Souds like a motor sensor problem to me. Try switching motors.

out of frustration i opened up the motor and found one of the power bars had a weak solder connection to its stator wire. resoldering it resolved the problem. i can't say i understand why, but the timing advance characteristic of v203 must have had something to do with it.

Hi Randy
How do I check the RS's sensor checker feature?

Set-up help
Okay, I have read through most of this thread and have not seen anybody else with this issue. I just installed a new RS in my 12th and loaded Jeff Cuffs set-up on it before I installed it (V203). I get everything put together and turn on the radio then booster, servo moves and the micro spectrum receiver starts blinking. I rebind the radio and receiver servo works and I have zero lights on the RS. I hook the RS into the receiver on my son’s truck and was able to calibrate it to the radio and the light turned on, but that was with 2C, hooked back up to 1C and still has no lights and every time I turn it off I have to rebind the radio and receiver just to get the servo to work. I have been through several scenarios and nothing has worked to this point. The battery is fully charged. Any suggestions on what it could be?
Equipment used: M8 Radio, Spectrum micro receiver, Novak booster, and IP 40C. I was running an SPX with no issues, just changed the speedo.

Do you have the voltage cutoff set to either 2 or 3? This means 2s or 3s. Try turning the voltage cutoff "off".
