Great thank you Krio and Randy Pike. Much appreciated.

Hi again, I found a Tekin Hotwire, not the 2.0 but the original one. Will that work on my RSX?

Yes, all versions of the hotwire adapter will work with any speed control.

Hello, Mr. Pike what would you say be a good loose dirt oval setup for the rsx. https://scontent.ftul1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...e2&oe=5A366D95

I have 6.5 and 7.5

with 2.6 tran b6d

27/84 is what I have now
Can stock timing 30 deg

Throttle
Current limit 5
Throttle min 3
Neutral width 5 KO EX-RR
Should I add timing to this motor?
Thank you for your time

That seems very tall gearing for a 7.5/6.5 to be honest. If this were a 2wd SC truck with those motors we'd be geared in the 84/19-20 range most of the time.

I'm going to assume you're in blinky mode at the moment? How's this feel?

What are you looking to gain?

Sorry sprint car with a b6d transmission. PLAN b sprint

I'm going to assume you're in blinky mode at the moment?

No it has some timing in it.
A guy at the track put some in. I need to pull the info and post it.

Like 90% of the guys here are running 27/84 think i tall but even Bob light is running that gearing


How's this feel?
Feels like I'm not getting the snap out if the turns like I need too.

What are you looking to gain?
Speed Mr. Pike I want to gain some dang #### speed lol

How much timing is in the motor?

30

In general, all I need is the dashboard shot and your brake/drive frequency.

You're running a very odd setup and one I'd not run myself.

Torque at 5 but you're using boost and turbo is kinda backwards.

30 on the can , 10 turbo and 5 boost isn't a ton. I also DO NOT like the start/end rpm you're using.

You're using a gear box car so with that reduction comes typical useful rpm ranges of anywhere between 3k, and upwards of 40k in off-road type cars.

So you'd want your can timing to be the bottom end, boost to be the mid range, and turbo to be top end IF and I mean IF the oval can support it, most cannot.

So try 35 on the can, try 25 boost with start/end of 5k and 20k. Torque at 8.

Gearing start where you're at but watch the temps every 2 minutes of the run. The car shouldn't be topping out until you're ready to lift and let the car sit in the turn.

The setting are from the guy at the track put on. Thank you for your help. I will change it Monday.

I did 6 packs and did gearing changes and esc stuff to get a feel for things. I'll email them tomorrow. And I have the data too. Thank you Mr. Pike

Sorry, new to the hobby. Is the Tekin RSX still the newest model esc for running 2wd buggy? Also, I'd like to know if the RSX is the recommended esc if I want an esc good for both mod and stock racing? Thanks.

If you are going to run mod then yes the RSX is the correct and most current Tekin ESC

How accurate/relevant is that motor temperature on the data logger? I show 124°F at the end of the run. Using an RSX with Fantom 17.5 and not sure whether to trust data logger or temp gun ( showing about 150/60)

Thanks Casper. But it's still the right model Tekin esc to race stock as well?

What do you mean by 150/60?

If you want the absolute best for stock racing, the newly released RS Pro is the way to go. The RSX can dissipate the heat generated from mod racing better, but the RS Pro has a lower internal resistance to help squeeze every last drop of power out for stock/spec racing.

Personally, I run mod and stock 2wd with the same car and plan to leave the RSX in. I do plan to pick up one of the new Spec-R motors, though.
