I ALSO SWITCHED MOTORS AND SENSOR WIRES. (I'VE BEEN IN R/C FOR 15 YEARS SRAIGHT) BUT ANYWAY, ITS LIKE THEY WERE RUNNING SENSOR LESS. I SENT BOTH UNITS INTO TEKIN, AND THEY SENT BRAND NEW ONES BACK. SO I INSTALLED THE RS PRO BACK IN MY TOURING CAR, USED IT FOR ONE WEEK, WON THE MAIN THAT WEEK SINCE ITS ONLY THE SECOND RACE OF THE INDOOR SEASON, AND YESTERDAY IN PRACTICE IT BLIPPED ON THE STRIGHT AWAY, AND STARTED DOING THE SAME THING.
IM NOT DOING ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM, AGAIN....IM NOT NEW AT THIS. NORMAL TIMING AND GEARING, INDOOR ON CARPET WITH A TOURING CAR. SO I SENT A REALLLLLLY CRAPPY MESSAGE TO TEKIN.
I INSTALLED THE RS INPLACE OF THE RS PRO AND CHECKED THE MOTOR ON A HITECH MOTOR CHECKER, MOTOR IS NOT THE ISSUE. AND CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AGAIN. (SAME SENSOR WIRE) SENSOR WIRE IS NOT THE ISSUE EITHER))
IM STAYING AWAY FROM BUYING ANYMORE TEKIN. WHEN YOU SEND YOUR STUFF IN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WILL CHARGE YOU "BECAUSE THEY HANDLE TOO MANY ISSUE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS" . THE FORM YOU SEND IN REQUIRES YOU TO PUT YOUR CARD INFO ON IT SO THEY CAN JUST CHARGE YOU WHATEVER. WHATS THAT TELL YA?
MAYBE THIS HELPS.
IM GOING TO SEND MY DAMAGED UNIT IN, AND SWITCH TO SPEED PASSION OR LRP. (IF I CAN GET SPEED PASSION) LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE COMING OUT WITH A UPDATE TO THE GT2.
All caps gives me a headache. 3 ESCs all one after the other? Something is not right here. I understand your frustration but we pride ourselves in standing behind our product 110% and it looks like we have in your case.
By the way, it says right on the service form how much replacement ESCs costs and there are no surprises. If yours really were brand new then they should have been under warranty and you wouldn't have any charges to worry about in the first place!
