Look at page 51, had the same problem!

Mine stopped logging and unselected all chanels.
Factory reset helped...

I have not seen a direct answer to the question, but I'm gathering from problems I am seeing on the forum, you have to run a newer t8, t8i, pro4, pro4hd, or redline gen 2. I haven't heard of anyone using an sc4x yet, so I don't know about that one. I know the lrp x20 & viper motors (at least 540 motors) have a temp probe on the sensor board, so should (at least in theory) work to show the motor temp in data logging, but, again I haven't heard of anyone using these motors & succssfully getting motor temps in data logging. I have not heard of anyone using other brands other 1/8 motors so I have no clue if other brands do motor temp data logging or not. Until someone from tekin makes a statement other wise, I would assume ONLY NEWER tekin motors (t8 & newer designs) will give info to the ESC for motor temp data logging.

You've got mail.

If the motor you're using has a temp thermistor and a standard wired sensor plug, the datalogger should read the temperature. All of our sensored motors back to the GEN1 Redline work on our datalogger.

Question for the Tekin guys, how long does it log before it stops? Basically how much memory does it have in terms of minutes?

I do that myself because thats the order i do it in when im logging, that way i can go back and check and know that before i slap it back on the track, it's cleared. Sort of a fail safe from myself and it also tells me it worked right..

@Biggie, are you clearing data or leaving your power on? I did that last week, i forgot and left the buggy on when i was setting up, i wanted to power on the buggy to center up my servo and i wanted my buggy dressed for setup, well i forgot, it was logging that whole time..

Also make sure your "downloading" the data and clearing the data..

The amount of data collected varies upon sample rate and data stream chosen. Motor RPM for example consumes a lot of memory. I don't find it very important in 1/8 so I turn it off and focus on temps, battery,etc.

Each time you set the car down on the track it's best to clear the memory by holding down the "inc" button for a few seconds and let it confirmation chime. This will maximize your data log run.

Good discussion folks! I'm running a Revtech 4xs motor, so I guess there's a possibility that it does not have the temp thermistor. I'm setting up another Rx8 Gen 2 on my 1/8 buggy with a T8, so all should be fine with that one. Glad we found some clarification.

I've used it before. I know to DL it first. It does what Ace said. Downloads for about half a second and then stops like there is no data. when you look at the log all the parameters are unselected, once you select all of the parameters there is nothing on the graph, not even a flatline.

I will try holding both buttons down and reloading all of my settings like Ace suggested does anyone from Tekin know anything about this?

It's good to get that confirmed! Thanks for for all your help ty, randy, yz & the rest!

I'll be interested to see what other motors work for temp data logging. If anyone out there is using another brand & getting temp data, post up & let us know what works & doesn't. I would do some testing, but afaik, everyone at my track either uses tekin or sensorless motors for 1/8. I wonder how many companies (reedy, trinity, etc.) will change their next gen motors to have temp sensors.

Perform a factory reset, install your settings, radio calibrate, re test. Should clear it up.

Who has the best overall price right now? Looking to purchase 2 to 3 of these, can get the price down to about $188 shipped each, anyone got a better price somewhere else?

Strange, so you can't do any of that ... I know with the 4 Pole 4000Kv motor Pro4 I had, using timing at a higher RPM start range (like 5 degrees) and a smaller pinion kept my temps low but gave me the top end to compete with 4600Kv equipped vehicles in my SC10 4x4 when I couldn't pull taller gearing without getting too hot. Is this not common to do or?

Can you set custom cut-off voltages? I don't like relying on the auto-cell detect feature that some ESCs have as I have seen it mis-detect the total pack voltage due to a weak cell.

Seen this guy drive, VERY FAST and very helpful! Reason I am looking at the ESC ... :)

Curious, I know that fan's shouldn't be relied upon, Is it possible to just make an RX8 that has the fan area taken up by a Taller heatsink? How much of a temp drop would a taller heatsink only option offer?

Thats really cool. I am personally looking at this ESC to run in a dual steering servo setup on a 1/5 scale Savage based Flux. (so basically a big monster truck). Wonder if it can handle the load?

As a side related question to that, for the Tekin RX8 BEC, if for some reason it experiences a failure, does it has some ability to NOT send all the voltage to whatever is attached to it?

Lastly, and sorry for the ignorance here but does the RX8 Gen 2 have any water resistance? Seems that is becoming more common, water resistance and water proof setups, curious if the RX8 Gen 2 has that ability as out here when the watering gets heavy, it can be handy, especially in an SCT without an inner shell.

Thank you beforehand everyone who has info!

Yes you can set custom voltages via the Hotwire device.

No these are not waterproof. In those conditions we recommend boxes,etc.

The BEC is awesome but 2 HV servos in a 1/5 in all honesty should be on a stand alone BEC or receiver pack.

While the fan isn't required in most 1/8 buggy cases lower voltage setups like 2s 4wd SC do often require the fan for longer mains,etc.

A taller heatsink could help but no where near as well as the fan.

No I don't haha

E-Mail that is. lol
You will have real mail by Saturday. :)

Thanks for the info Randy!

Any info on this question?
