Oh, I can help.....Soon

ya, soon. everyone says "soon" lol

According to instagram something is coming on the 15th!

According to the tekin facebook page, something is coming. I love new things to play with

with the RSX pro coming will software updates stop being released for the RSX?

Good question, but I doubt that will happen. Tekin keeps up on their stuff... now if more features are available on the new pro that the original cant do...
i could see the software not supporting those features on the original

the original RS ( gen one ) controller had software updates for over 8 years...

like last year was the final one... my understanding.

I am also waiting for the PRO model and its spec's... as I just switched to MOD 2 months ago.
YES running my 9 year old RS, gen 1..... with a 6,200mah , 120c battery. in a SC5M....

my gen 1 RS RRO is dying it think. with an 8.5 in my ST it overheats

so I was wondering. why is it that it seem all the other brands run multiple bigger cap's and tekin only runs the 1 330uf? whats the benefit to running more capacity? should I get the tekin 1000uf? please help me learn! Thank You

many post on this forum..

for both types... of capacitors

for noise control/filtering into receiver
for voltage control into speed controller... and/or voltage/current management for BEC going to servo's

to much can be as bad as to little..

I am NOT a teacher... I just know stuff

here is a LINK.. with a very short reading on capacitors

What are your settings in the ESC? That's right at the edge of its capabilities, mostly due to the RS pro not being as efficient at getting rid of heat buildup. If you run dual mode instead of sensored only, you should notice the esc run a lot cooler. Might be worth replacing your capacitor as well if its as old as the esc.

There is a difference in capacitors beyond the microfarad rating (μF). That just tells you how many electrons are stored in the capacitor per volt. It doesn't tell you how long it takes the capacitor to 'fill up' or how quickly it can discharge. The length of wire from the capacitor to the esc matters as well. The shorter the better. Also, the higher quality your battery is, the less you need to rely on a large capacitor.

For 95% of vehicles the RSX is used in, the single, low esr, 330μF capacitor with very short wires paired with a quality battery is all that's required. Any additional capacitors won't make a difference. If you run crazy low turn mod motors (4.5 or below), THEN you might want to add an additional 330μF capacitor.

Some companies use multiple less expensive capacitors to achieve the same results. Or some use multiple caps because they have an inch or more of wire between them and the esc. Yet others add extra capacitors to guard against people using low quality lipos with overkill motors. Different designs/intent require different solutions is all.

so what if I have worn out batteries?

With an 8.5 turn motor in a 2wd truck, I wouldn't sweat it. If you want to add another cap, feel free to. ESC might run a skosh cooler. If it doesn't, then the single cap was already enough.

Those can over work and over heat the ESC if they're really bad.

I was excited to see the new RSX Pro come out today. However, after looking over the features, I don't really see what is different from the current model? I see listed the updated software settings, perhaps a few more parameters, etc., but I feel like that could be marketing talk more than substantial change. I own 4 Tekin RSX esc's, and I love them. In fact, I love Tekin, and run their electronics almost exclusively. The layout and build of the RSX is very good, as evidenced by the fact that the new RSX Pro is basically physically the same. A few changes of red to silver, updated fan, and graphics seem to be the only changes. I don't know if I should be happy that the existing model is so good it didn't need much change, or annoyed that this new RSX Pro is not really different?

I am not complaining or throwing shade at Tekin. Again, I am a huge fan and loyal customer. Maybe I am totally missing something that makes the new model different? I'm just not sure how I feel about this "new" RSX. Anyway, First World Problems, am I right?
