I have some left over 6 C 4100 Heli Batteries that I don't want to let goto waste. I am looking at getting at Kyosho MP9e. Can I make this work with any motor mix and pinion mix is there? The center pinion is 46.

is there a calculator to figure thing like this out. There was one for heli's

Check the wiring posts on the ESC. I had similar problems and it turned out one of my posts came loose. Choice was either send it back to Tekin or resolder the post to the board. A friend did it for me as I wasn't comfortable doing it. Happened to 2 different posts on separate occasions. But once resoldered in, has been perfect since (knocks on wood)

Current limiter question
 

Was messing with my RX8.2 current limiter in my SCT410 because I just installed a new pro4HD 4300. Without my HotWire I had to use the buttons and lights to set the current limiter. The manual said the range was 1 to 13 where 13 was no limiter. So 1 to 12 somehow translates to a percent of limit. Could someone post a current limiter number to percent limit chart or explain the correlation. My other question may not be for this thread but what limit do most run and what pinion can someone suggest. I was thinking a 14 tooth and current limit set to 60%.

Current limiter question
 

After thinking about it I just divided 100/12. So each step is about 8.3%. With that I think 7 or 8 would give me 58.1% or 66.4% current limit respectfully. That's close enough to the 60% i was shooting for. To get 60% exactly I would have to use my HotWire. Here is the other thing that someone asked me. Is that 60% the amount of current the esc cuts back or is that the percent of current the esc allows to pass on initial throttle? I've thought about this to much now I'm all discombobulated.

What's the typical repair cost for re-attaching post? Not sure if that fell into the $40 or $60 range for the minimum cost. My neg post came loose but looks pretty clean.

Got pretty lucky it didn't short anything else out that I could tell. Think I got the wires too tight when trying to keep the deans from coming unplugged via the battery strap.

I have a pretty good soldering station that will go up to 900deg. Can you share the specs on the type of solder you use? Is it the lead-free silver stuff or something more special? It's going to be a backup ESC at this point or put into a toy so I may just try fixing myself vs. paying the shipping and repair costs.

2s + 3s
 

Just got one of these speedys and have run it on 4s only so far. I want to run 5s with my 1700kv T8 in a Serpent 811t, so I have the idea that running 2s + 3s will balance out the little bit of extra weight the motor side apparently carries. My concern is voltage cutoff. Will setting custom cutoff at 3.4v per cell work, or have I misunderstood how the speed control guages this?

Also, running this motor on 6s will overload the esc, correct? Thanks in advance.

Your standard voltage cutoff for 5s will handle this, no need for any custom voltage cutoff.

I currently run a 4s application with the 1700KV T8 in my Tekno ET48 and it has tons of power, you just have to gear for the top end.

As far as your 6S setup goes, i'm not sure if that'll be too much for the speedo, but that'll be too much for a track. Unless you're doing a high speed back yard competition with the neighborhood kids, 6s would be overkill with the 1700 motor.

Thanks cam.

I'm not racing this truck, and I don't want anything too balls out, I only asked about 6s in case I ever wanted to give it a blast across the salt flats for shits & giggles :)

13 steps essentially giving you 7.7% give or take.

LED 5 lit by itself is a good setting.

You're under geared with a 14T pinion for that truck. Try 16-17

6s and 1700 will be a beast and likely hard to drive..but it can work. It's going to be too fast though. Proper gearing maybe an issue also.

Thanks Randy. I knew you would know. As always, Your The Man! You don't know how many of your posts have helped me out. Thinking about switching over to a RSX from my R10 Pro just because of your constant help.

I'm just one small part of a bigger picture...Thank the owners at Tekin for letting me do this great job ;)

I was around when Tekin and Novak was all anyone raced. That was pre internet and the only way to know what's the hot setup was reading magazines and watching the local top guys. Then one day Tekin went under. I'm so glad the new owners showed up and made the Tekin name even better. I still have my Dyno900. Today's esc's have so much more software. I really feel old now.

Hello
My gen2 rx8 is not working its flashing leds numer 1,2 and 6,7. So i think it have an internal short cause i already tried another motor and anything posible.

Im looking to send it to repair under warranty because i bought it on november 18 2014 nad till today it is 105 days, so i will send it tomorrow it will be 106 days, but im from spain and it will take to get to the us almost 12 days.
Im on time to send it to repair under warranty?
this failure is acceptable by waranty?
tekin considers that international shipments take about two weeks to arrive?
the warranty account from the day it was sent or from the day that it gets to tekin?

It was running good and suddenly died, but steering servo was working.

follow the steps located here: www.teamtekin.com/service.html

we understand shipping can take a week or two internationally and if it comes in a little past 120 days, we will still honor it.
