Havent pulled the trigger on 12 scale since 1993. Even picked up a car or 2 in the last 5yrs but never got around to runnin since turnouts were so spotty. However, i must ask. if i ran 1 of those 200mah LiFe units and lifted the red off my tekin. is it 'switch' or 'no switch'...i forget. thx

Leave the red wire in and turn both switches on.

no switch on rx pack, straight into the rx itself. i thought i had to lift the red wire as to not 'double feed' the rx. is this somethin thats not necessary if i set the car in a '1s' mode?

If you pull the red wire, you will have no voltage cut-off.

I was wondering if anyone knows what GQ compound = what CRC compound? CRC magenta and white are the two I am most interested in, but a full list would be helpful.
Thanks,

ok guys.

have just picked up my first ever 1/12 car. i have been trying to get a clear way of running a reciever pack. i have the following

speedzone 1s saddle
life 6.6v 200mah reciever pack
tekin rs

what i would like to know is about this red wire on the tekin. do i pull it out and run in 1s mode on the tekin?

can someone please give me a simple way of getting this right the first time as i obviously don't want to let the smoke out of anything the first time i plug in.

thanks in advance guys

Leave the red wire in. Run it in 1s mode.

this is the way im going to run mine. seems like the way to do it

Hey guys I'm having trouble with the ride height. I got a brand new 12R5 the first two set of tires that I had on the car everything was fine. Now I can't get all four corners to be equal height. Looking at the car from the front right rear corner is lowest of all four corners. Now I did take the whole car apart to check and see if anything was bent; everything looks good. Front tires are trued equal and so are the rears. I even tried to much all the ride height shims and the car is still leaning to the right side. I have Jaco and Xceed tires and it's the same with both of them. Has anyone experienced anything like this before. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When you say the right rear is low, is that the chassis or the pod?

If it's the chassis, try new front springs. AE springs tend to develop a sag pretty quickly. Then check your tweak and balance.

Look on the Tekin website and you'll find several 1/12 settings to work from.
That's what I did to make mine go good.

Usually something wrong at the front end. Your front right rear corner comment is somewhat confusing but:
remove the tweak springs and side damper, put the car with the kingpins on something solid but of equal height left and right and then you'll prolly see whats wrong. (of course keep the rear tires on as well).
If you measure the rear ride height different left to right check the front. The front difference is multiplied to the rear so its easier to check there.
Unless of course the chassis is bad...

he is saying that the right rear corner is the lowest if looking at it from the front

It's the chassis not the pod. I only have one practice day on the front springs but I'll change it just to be sure that's not the problem. Tweak is fine but the balance could be off a little. Thanks for the help.
