Look for "OTG Support: yes"

Are you sure it's "8" on the CL? If so bump that to at least 50 to get started.

Also update to 250 esc software. Leave all the exp and throttle profile linear for now until we can get the power delivery set up for you.

I've been setting the cl with the esc so that is 8 with the led. I have it at 9 now (So fifth led lit) I don't have hotwire but a racer at the track is suppose to bring it, also so I can see his settings. And update the f/w. Thank's for your time and help!!

Small question about gearing for the 1900kv buggy motor:
ATM i have 2200kv neu castle motor inside my rc8.2e, geared to 16/46. Along with my Tekin combo i've ordered set of Novak pinions - 18,19,20. Hit or miss? According to some math looks like a 'hit', or not?

I am having the same troubles with my hobbywing combo you got and I am thinking of swap it out and go and buy a tekin combo the rx8 gen 2 and pro4hd 4300

For medium to large outdoor you will want 20-21t

First off, since this is a RX8.2 thread I'll start off by saying I replaced my SCT-Pro ESC with the RX8.2 and the problem went away. I also couldn't be happier with this ESC, I love the throttle/brake feel and the data logging. And I really like the HV BEC. I run the ProTek 150T on my SCT410, and at 7.4v, I get a crazy amount of torque with lighting speed (I don't have the specs handy, but if you look them up I can't find any other servo with faster speed AND more torque). I have so much torque I can right my truck in seconds when it is lying on its side just by turning the wheel and giving some throttle (the force of the wheel turning into the ground pushes the heavy truck up and over to be right side up).

I am still running the HW 4700kv motor, and I don't think any other motor would out perform it. My advice is to keep the HW motor and only replace the ESC. As far as I can tell, this combo (Tekin ESC and HW 4700 motor) is as good as it gets.

As for why I was having the problem on the SCT-Pro, there could be a number of reasons since it was only a recent problem. For one, I was getting power for the steering servo direct off the balance plug on my 2S battery. This may have caused a brown out of some sort, but I am not really sure (here is where I plug the awesome HV BEC of the RX8.2). The problem also could have been from some loose Solder connections on the SCT-Pro (I tried to re-wire but the pre-soldered posts were a total pain to desolder, so I had to give up). I did notice the problem went away when I went to a really low pinion gear (14t) at a low punch setting (2 or 3), but then the SCT didn't have enough power to counter the nosedive on jumps. Since I had my eye on the RX8.2 anyway, the decision was easy. And I couldn't be happier running Tekin for my ESC.

Hope this helps.

I'd be willing to bet that you'd be faster with a motor down around 4300kV.

I'll take that bet... send it to me and I'll pull my 4700 and give it the pepsi challenge

I second that. I run the Futaba 4PLS with the motor temp telemetry sensor hooked up. I will video the challenge and post the results on YouTube. Send me a Pro4 4300HD and i will do the comparison. Give me a max temp to keep motor under, set a runtime of 3 minutes on road at essentially full speed. I have pinions ranging from 13t to 18t on my SCT410. I can use the RPM data from the RX8.2 log to document max speed, average speed, and motor temps.

So Team Tekin, put your money (i.e. a 4300HD) where your mouth is and let's do this!!!

I know as soon as i order an android tablet, apple will give the ok for hot wire control!
I have ipad's and Mac computers !
I do not want to mess up my mac computers at races
i'm looking for a tablet that has wifi capabilities
that I can use with hotwire 2
so my son can watch netflix on tablet until its time for him to race
anyone have links?
my buddy has a galaxy S5 phone, will hotwire work with that?

I'd like to outline this "pep$i challenge" (I'm not getting sued,LOL). If we're going to do a test there must be a track involved and the person driving it be "blind" to the test.

Other than that what else is in the test?

We have a small compilation here:

I think the best test would be a motor dyno but a blind test using a butt dyno I guess is the most feasible way to go about it.
Find pinions that get the truck to top out near the end of the straight so it's an apples to apples comparison as far as temps (motor & esc) and low end grunt.
A sample of 3 drivers within a hour so ambient temp change doesn't play much of a role.

Data log each drivers run, name it & save it clear the log and let the next one loose. After the runs are complete, ask the drivers for their seat of the pants opinion on which one had the best bottom, mid & top end.

I'm not sure lap times would help unless all 3 drivers drive the same truck as the test truck. If they did you could use times. If not they may be getting more used to the truck by the second run and have lower times regardless of the motor that's in it. All drivers run the same truck as the test truck, lap times are relevant.

What is a motor "dyno"? Other than that, I'd love to see those results. In fact I'd commit right now to buying the 4300HD if the data showed it as the better motor.
