Not quite but it's close. You really need to test this because if feels very different which is a good thing.

I haven't put it out on the street or taken it to the track yet, but I can immediately feel the brake changes.. no more "Tekin Squeak".. much smoother now.

I'm excited to play with the rest of the settings!

Have you tried using another browser? I was able to use IE just now and had no issues downloading it. What OS are you running also?

ok so I was able to download it just now also, but for some reason last night wasn't working.

Now the problem I am having is it wont work on my phone and I cant find an update button of any kind on google play store. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app like 10x :weird: keeps telling me version not supported... I was going to go test it at the track tonight.

I just downloaded it from the Google Play Store, installed with no issues. Samsung Galaxy S6 Android Ver. 6.01

All features available, but some got cropped off in my screenshot.

Are there any *New* driver setups available with this new release? I checked the Driver Setup page for 1/8 Buggy on Team Tekin but all the setups are still outdated:

I'm interested in seeing how some of the Team Drivers are using these new settings in races.

Thanks!

I run Tekin in all of my cars, buggies, truggies, etc. I do not have a pc. I have apple computers, and an iPhone. At the track last week there were 17 racers all with Tekin esc and all with iPhones. Non of us could program our escs with our phones. I give up! What is a inexpensive alternative to a PC. Do they make a cheep tablet that is PC based that would work. I saw some Android tablets that had USB and wifi on them. Is there any of these that would your? I wish Tekin and Apple would have an app for the iPhone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Simply go here: www.teamtekin.com/hotwire.html and download the "exe" version, it's easier to use so you don't have to unzip it.

I've been playing with this update all morning and all I can say is wow! It is almost like a completely different speed control, the way you can dial it in to your particular driving style is amazing and the new smoothness between throttle and brake, outstanding.

Much props Team Tekin.. this last update hit it out of the park.

Android app now compatible with 255. Fast work, thank you!

You do realize you can program 90% of the settings without any device at all just using the buttons.

Head over here to see some affordable android devices known to work:

http://www.teamtekin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=170

There's more to the iPhone issue than just an app. If you do some googl'ing you can find the Tekin "fix" to this issue. Or check THIS

Randy, I know you can use the buttons and I have. I just like to see all the effects on the screen. I know that Tekin is working on an apple app as well. I am not familiar with the tablets so I thought I would ask what some guys are using. Thanks for the info. I plan on buying a cheap tablet to use as a program box soon.

Looking for a tip-What is the best way to exploit the data in the logs? I can see when i'm hitting full throttle, peak revs etc but are there any 'optimums'?
Edit: scratch that, there is a useful data logs document on the Tekin site.

I seem to have come across a bug 8(

I updated my rsx to 255, and set it up with my windows pc, I think went to the track and made some changes with the android app, one thing I noticed was the boost only went to 20 but on the pc it went further.

came home to look at the data logs and when I plugged in my rsx to the pc I got a message, about the version of firmware on the rsx was not compatible and I had to re flash the esc.

As you are all Hotwire users and can see data fields, what magnitudes of voltage sag are you getting on acceleration?
