Thanks Clint.

Looks like Tekin has an adapter available to use a gen1 hotwire with the data port.

Thx GonzoKY can you tell me the exact model tablet I'm afraid to get the wrong one.

Here is the tablet I bought. I got it around Xmas so it was a little cheaper.

Here is the cable you will need.

The only thing the Hotwire 2.0 does is allow you to run android without an otg cable. You'd still need The gen II data port adapter. You can use either Hotwire and still get data logging.

Just got one of these for my Durango 2WD short course paired with a Redline Gen2 8.5 motor. Going to install it tomorrow. Any setup tips I should know about via hotwire? I am not new to tekin, have had a few RS Pros and a few RX8s. Just curious if there is something I should set up with hotwire!

Check out their team setups:

^^^^^^^^^^ thanks

I purchased my RSX a couple months back through Tower Hobbies and only ran a handfull of packs through it with a Trinity D4 8.5 turn motor. I was wondering if anyone has had intermittent issues with the reverse working.

I even reprogrammed the esc with the Hotwire to activate "instant reverse" without any delay. I am still having problems with my reverse activating on command. It seems that the brakes are activated when it should really be going in reverse. I can tell because while holding the reverse on my transmitter I manually move my SCT back and I can hear the light buzzing noise as if the brakes are being activated.

Had an embarrassing moment when at the track during practice got tangled with another truck. The driver of the other truck yelled, "Do you have reverse?!" I yelled back, "Sometimes!" Later, the other driver came to me while I was giving my chassis a run through and he saw my esc and said, "You paid that much money for your esc to sometimes work? That's sad bro." And walked off...

Reverse on the RSX has two modes.

Reverse delay requires one full second of the esc seeing neutral(uninterrupted) to engage reverse.

Instant reverse gives you braking until the car slows, then lift and then reverse. The RSX is build primarily for racing so reverse is a bit different. We are working on some reverse adjustments now that this esc is finding it's way into crawlers, etc.

Yep, I'm sitting with my transmitter in full reverse for 10-15 seconds with my truck at dead stop without it actually moving. I've even tried up to a full minute at one point. A couple seconds later, reverse works. Looks like I have to give the Tekin customer service a call for me to send in my esc...

Just to add to what Randy said...

The ESC must see no input for it to "see neutral". What I have found this means is that if you are running a sensored motor and your car moves at all, ie. rolling on a hill or being pulled by being tangled with another vehicle, the ESC sees this as a "non-neutral" situation and won't allow for reverse to be engaged. It would be nice if the ESC just waited for a "no input from the transmitter" and ignored input coming from the sensor wire in that situation.

Randy can you confirm what I have seen?

Try it on a stand with the wheels elevated.

Your are correct, I am running a sensored motor. During my tests with the body off, on a flat hardwood floor in my home, the car is at a complete dead stop for a full 5-10 seconds. I then pull the trigger in full reverse and I could see the ESC red leds light up and it is getting a full reverse signal from my transmitter but my truck does not move. I then pull the truck forward a couple times, hit reverse and it works.
