Tekin RSX Thread

Ok, a few things here.
Stock BEC voltage is 6v on all units.
Gearing a 2.5T motor 75/35 is not going to work, and the 66T spur will make it worse. If you're trying to dump the throttle with this setup you could be asking the battery to deliver over 500+ amps! I realize this is likely a high speed car, but you'll need to roll on the throttle a little bit here.
Understand that the ESC has NO control over the steering aside from powering the BEC. If you're amping out the battery in this manner, the BEC may get a ripple current through it the receiver cannot handle. A receiver cap may help squelch the noise and cure this, but the gearing you're trying to run isn't sustainable.

Question for Randy. (sorry if this has been asked before)
I'm hearing other ESC brands are testing with very low drive frequencies for stock class racing, like in the 1000Hz range.
Will the RSX be capable of these low frequencies?
Would this be an upcoming firmware update?
thanks,

ok. thanks for clarifying. Back in the day with Keyence brushed ESC's we could run really low freq and cook a brushed motor. I have been running in the lower range with the tekin stuff and not had any issues just not sure if there was a "breaking point" in the brushless world.

Maybe, We go down to 2khz now and so far have not found a reason to go lower. We easily can as our hardware supports much lower frequencies if we need to go there. One of the best things about Tekin is that we are often way ahead of our competition when it comes to hardware. This allows us to offer free as needed software adjustments to bring your ESC up to the highest level with a few mouse clicks.

Running a brand right now that advertises a 32bit CPU and does the frequency down to 1000Khz.
They state that lower frequency will give it more agressive throttle feel and less overall RPM. Going the other way does the reverse and increase heat in the ESC.
One thing I was curious about was does it also increase (when you go to a lower frequency) heat in the motor?
Playing with the setting for that brand it does fee more punchy.
For the Tekin RSX versus that RS Pro Black edition, which one would be better for 17.5 stock 2wd buggy, and also for 1/10 4wd open?
I don't have a smart phone, so is there a cheap tablet you guys recommend to grab for adjustments?

According to the play store the tekin hotwire app will work on any android OS 3.1 to 7.0. You can attach using USB cable or Bluetooth (BLE) compatible device if you have the Hotwire 3.0.

Honestly; if you stay stock class, the RS Pro BE is perfect... I got a screaming deal on my RSX off here and did it and when i land an ET410 when and if
that arrives... the RSX will goto that and I will put and RS Pro BE into the carpet buggy. RSX does weigh a touch more than the RS Pro BE FWIW.

thanks for the info!
Using an EB210 conversion, maybe the RSX all around would be best as a layout change of the electronics thinking of moving them forward on the chassis, plus, some talk about mod class in the future.
Also an ET410 (maybe changed to a ET210) is in the cards here too
Anyway thanks for all the info!
