Just deleted and downloaded it again. Works fine now, yeah! You guys can add iRULU tablets to your list.

What brake frequency setting gives your the closest to the old software. Since the upgrade i feel like I am always searching for more brake with a 8.5 turn motor.

Ok, I broke down and bought an android tablet for $30.00. The Hot Wire program works great, however, it will not save my setup when I apply settings. Any thoughts? Should I delete and download it again? :confused:

Hello HollywoodRC, which tablet did you purchase?
Could give a brief description of the process to install the HotWire App?
What extra parts if any are needed to connect the tablet to the HotWire?

Thanks in advance for your time.

750 Hz is the old brake frequency setting

I'm running a Tekin RSX in my a700 in Stock Class (21.5t Blinky)

Since I have installed the latest update my cars seems so much slower? I have lowered the throttle freq which has made it feel better, but it still seems down on power compared with before?
To make matters worse, I have a few fellow racers I was able to keep behind me comfortably but now my car seems down on power?

Any help appreciated!

What are your settings?

DamageNZ 09-21-2016 01:47 AM

Hey Randy - Below are my current settings:

Drag Brake Off
Brake Minimum 0
Active Brake 0
Brake Strength 100
Push Control 0
Brake Frequency 6101

Throttle Min 18
Neutral Width 12
Reverse Speed 100
Throttle Frequency 2007
Reverse Delay 0.76
Torque 10
Timing Profile 1 - Spec Stock

21.5t Fantom FR1 Motor running 35deg end bell timing

The only thing I have changed is the Tekin update, like I said the car just seems low on punch/power. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Bump,

I am interested in any reply to this too.. It would good to know people's thoughts on how best to approach setup with the new functionality.

Cheers.

Did you make sure to recalibrate the ESC to the radio after the software update? Even if you did, maybe try it again and make sure to reset all your epas before calibration.

After the update did you throttle calibrate?

Your settings are ballpark for the team guys running spec turn motors.

DamageNZ 09-29-2016 03:00 AM

Yes, I have reset the end points, throttle etc several times as I also thought this might be causing it, but didn't make a difference.

I'm really not happy with it, it is seriously slower than before the update. I do have another RSX in my 13.5 car that i havnt updated, so i will swap the esc's over and see how the updated one performs in my 13.5t boosted car.

Thank you though, I do appreciate the help.

Cheers,

Randy_Pike 09-29-2016 11:18 AM

The update shouldn't make anything slower. I'd like to see a data log from the car if you can email it to me.

Hey everyone, first I have to say that I love my Tekin products and their customer service is awesome!! The question I have is why can I not get my brakes to "bite" harder in my SC5M? I am running with the RS Gen2 ESC and the 10.5T Gen3. When I apply my brakes it will keep the truck free rolling, I thought it was just mine at first. Then I built my buddies SC5M and got him the same setup and it does the same thing. I have tried increasing the brake on the ESC but still same issue. My TLR 22-4 2.0 with the RSX and 6.5t will stop on a dime if needed, at factory settings. Any input would be awesome, thanks in advance guys.

What is your Brake frequency set at? Also have you made sure to calibrate your Radio and ESC after hotwire update?

SickNT760 10-06-2016 10:59 PM

Honestly I do not know how to set my brake frequency or how to even look at it. I have re calibrated my radio and ESC. Is the brake frequency done through the radio or is it something that I need the hotwire for? If the case is with hotwire I can order one and check to see if that may lead me to any further improvements.
