Tekin RS question/problem

Was looking for the official Tekin RS thread but couldn't so here it goes.

Was wondering if anyone lately is having this problem. I own 5 Tekin RS ESC's. that is all I run in the following cars;TC6, TLR22, B44, B44.1, B4. I have loved these ESC's and really used to the programming. I have had zero issues up until a month ago.

In the TLR22 all of a sudden I go to turn everything on and go drive. Everything lights up fine, steering works but when I give it throttle no power to the motor. I try everything; hook up to new motor, reset the ESC, put it on the hotwire (seems fine), change the cap and nothing works. Sent the ESC back (purchased less than 120 days) so they replace it. No explanation what went wrong. All is good until just a week ago a different ESC in the TC6 does the EXACT same thing. Running fine for a battery or 2 then I get ready to head out for another run and same thing.

This one I am going to have to pay to fix as it is older than 120 days (sucks). Obviously without knowing the issue, I can't fix this. I also can't just keep paying to fix the ESC.

May have to go to a different company, but I don't want to.

Thoughts? Any one else with this issue?

You would do better putting this into: onroad, official tekin rs thread.

What are doing LEDs? Have you tried to reinstall hotwire on it?

If your in tight with the local hobby shop owner see if they will write you a receipt so you can get it under warranty. Kinda unscrupulous but some do it.

Thanks for the advice. Two outside LEDs on both sides flashing. Yes I have tried reinstalling.

Yeah thought about that. It was 140 days so I thought dealing with Tekin and based on the situation they would have done what I felt was the right thing and the extra 20 days would be no big deal. Not so much.

Usually if the 1,2 & 6,7 leds flash it indicates that the ESC is sensing the wrong motor. Check to see if the Motor Type is set correctly. It is possible that this setting was changed in error.
