Tekin RS ESC sensored

For me...I realize these things happen. I have never had a failure yet with any Tekins. I love mine. Thats why i threw my fried one aside and went and grabbed a new one.
Do you need to get an RA number#?

no it is not your setup.
as your clubmembers run the same setup withoud problems, than there is something els.
do you use the same radio settings fir the throttle?
as they send you a new one. update it withe the v208 or v203.
there is something outside the speedo that causes tge problems.
as you use a speedo from someone els and the same thing happens than is it not the speedo.
open your reciever and clean it. there can be durt in it. this can cause problems for signall and speedo.
it costed me 2 lrp speedo's.
so check everything around your speedo. also your servo and wires.
there is something els than the setup or speedo.
still would i go for an other setup.

You use another motor besides the lrp when you get the new speedo and see if that lasts for an entire night. I think from what has been posted, you always seem to the use the lrp first and then have problems and then go to other motors. I think the speedo is already messed up from the the lrp and the other motors are not going to change that problem.

Here is the thread that I recalled it from: http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...rning-lrp.html
you can run with a high boost but than you need to gear it extream light and use a wider rpm range.
i would go for a low boost and a heavier gearing.
the motor runs better that way.

If it is the motor as you all seem to think then why did it run great with the same motor for two months and 6 races and when I changed to V212 it all goes bad?
20Smoke this is why I wanted to talk one on one with someone who is familiar with Tekin products, Several pages of posts and nothing firm resolved.I keep explaining the same thing over and over and gatting no where.
as far a trying a different motor I don't have another 17.5 to race with and dropping another $85.00 for testing purposes won't fly.
I have $200.00 + wrapped up in a system that from March of this year has been plaqued with problems, first off the speedo would lose top end after two minutes in to the run, and that was a speedo problem that was taken care of by a replacement, now this problem AFTER I updated to V212.
I am wasting my time here on this forum and Tekin techs aren't available to talk to me in person, as I have asked to speak with one and they have not called be back since over a week ago.
I'm tired of Tekin equipment being this way and Tried of fighting to race a toy car. I am NOW very sorry that I made this purchase. I'm locked in as I can't afford another system and this one seems to not want to work!!!!!!

Harry the guys at Tekin are always ready to talk to anyone having an issue. If you're trying to call during the weekend nobody is working.
Like I said you're more than welcome to call me so I can help you as well. I also don't work on the weekends(most of the time) 208 968 2823
You keep saying the same thing and so do we. Yes a bad motor can kill a speedo, it happens.
212 has nothing to do with this "failure." I've already suggested that since this is a 1s application you need to try using a 2s lipo to supply the esc with power.
Also unplug all other components from the receiver: servo, p/t, etc.
From the sounds of it you stil have an issue where the booster/rx pack is not supplying enough voltage for the RS to perform a motor test. I'd wager at this point it's not the motor.
We have been seeing a ton of bad rx packs, boosters,etc. It's not always the esc. IF you're group is all using "similiar" setups I'd like someone to hook up the RS's normally in a non 1s application.
I realize you're frustrated. However you haven't spoken to anyone at Tekin according to your posts. Please call me Monday.

I would send the lrp back and say that it has been blowing up escs ask them to check it for you see if you can get a report on the motor,the motor may have been on the way out before you changed and just decided to go at the point you changed over.
Or see if tekin will repair the esc then ask if you can borrow a motor of someone at your track but do not install the lrp just incase it is faulty.

The motor runs great on my other speedo that is NOT a Tekin.

Randy I know no one is working on the weekends i'm not that stupid. I said I called over a week ago and had to leave a message and noone has called me back.
If the motor is bad then why does it run perfectly on old LRP speedo?
this is why I am frustrated page and page of posts and I am still repeating my self.
I called you if you will remember and after a very brief conversation, at 11 am your time, you said send it back and we will replace it.
AND THIS IS A 2S APPLICATION AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE>

on old speedo's motors will run that are not always ok.
this because they don't use advanced timing. in dual mode or sensorless the motor will run perfect on the tekin.
call randy. he wants to help you but than you must call him up.
