Default problem with tekin rs.. please help!!!

In my xray t3 touring car. I run a jr servo spektrum reciever d3.5 17.5 motor and a tekin rs with the Hara tune.. and durring a run it suddenly cuts down to about half the power and looses all boost. If I come to a complete stop then go again, the issue goes away but then comes back after a little while... I have changed EVERY eletronic part with brand new, except the esc, and the issue stays the same.... has anyone else heard of this, and is it the esc or am I missing something here???

Swap out speedo's and see if that fixes it. My Tekin RS didn't like being run on 1s but was fine after I moved it over to another car that ran on 2s batteries. It would studder and miss when I had it pinned and then would magically smooth out. Swapped out everything in the car and when I dropped in the new speedo it stayed smooth/full power all the time.

seen this happen a few times at the track Its the esc.. you can try resetting all to factory then run then adjust as you like might help but then again might not..its a 50/50 as it fixes itself or send it in top Tekin..also might wanta try a Ubec that can and will help also.. try that 1st..

I have four Tekin RS. One in 1 cell must have a booster or small receiver type batt or it does not perform correctly. This is also true of the Tekin FX that I use with a brushed motor on 1 cell.

Tekins dont really do well as a stand alone in a 1cell class.

Ive had this problem before ,after calibration try raising throttle epa a little. Sometimes our radios cant find full throttle. Also try swapping sensor wires.
