When I try to open a saved run, windows is asking which program to use. Even if I choose tekin, it still doesn't load.

Am I missing something here?
The Hotwire must be attached to the PC device to view saved runs.

I'm sure that this has been asked before, but is there a right and wrong way for the fan to go,,I actually was questioning this for an rx8 initially, but looking at my rsx I'm not sure if it's on correctly either

I was just about to purchase a reedy. Has this been resolved? Also, are there the same issues with Orion and SMC motors? Thanks!

Hi Tekin / Randy / fellow Tekin motor owners,
Is there a motor rebuild guide somewhere on the Tekin site? I've had my redline gen 2 motor for over a year now. The motor has been going great without any issues. I thought it might be a good time for a clean and inspect, or rebuild?
I've never done it before, so a guide would be great.
Reason that I ask if there was one on the site is because I mostly use my mobile device (phone). I can't really search much when on mobile site mode

Here's a youtube video with a full Gen 2 tear down and rebuild.

Default Clicking noise

Tekin has said they are aware of the issue and they were almost done with the update...that was a few weeks ago, so I would just like to know when it will be released as this noise is kind of getting annoying.
Can anyone share which motors have this clicking noise issue? Even if software may revise this down the road I'd still rather have everything proper out of the gate.

Hi again
Motor tear down and rebuild went really easily. Thanks Wanderer77 for the video link.

Does anyone know the "out of the box" timing setting for a Gen2 17.5t. I forgot to note down before I pulled motor apart. I want it back at stock setting which suited me.

Stock out of the box is ~10-12 deg on the endbell.

Default RSX not able to run Reedy

Hoping someone can answer this question as I just bought an RSX and now am reading the Reedy can't be run without clicking noises. Can anyone confirm if Tekin has fixed this and does it also apply to Orion motors or SMC?

Sorry JAE...I can't confirm for certain as I don't work for Tekin.

I will say that I have 2 RSXs and have run 4 different motors (3 Redline Gen 2 and 1 Pro2 HD)...I have never had any issues with "clicking noises".

Trying to find replacement fans (TT3833) for the RSX but am not having much luck. Any info on where to get them online thats a reputable place or do I need to put a call in to Tekin. Surprised Amain or Tower doesn't have them
