Tekin RS ESC sensored
11-30-2011, 08:42 AM
randy even lets us post setups he feels are funky. I remember Schreffs from IIC2010 .. there where a few settings around delay that he was concerned that a non-expert might get in trouble with.
The big thing is to make sure you check temps 2-3 min into the run to not melt down an aggressively configured package. Temps over 120F at 3 min might be too high. Ymmv.
Narrow rpm windows generate heat. Starting the rpm window too early generates heat. The new defaults of 5k/20k are very safe. Adjusting the end rpm is the beat first step for boosted TC.

Hara did try gearing as low as 5.7 at one point but after watching the car and talking to him he went with my suggestion and went back towards the 6's. I take notes when I'm at larger races and working with team drivers. I track each run and note any changes we make both to esc and the car.
This gearing may not work at your home track. IF it's not the IIC 2011 layout I'd say you'll have to find your own gearing but my suggested range is a suitable starting point. Oh yeah..you have to drive like Atsushi also

Randy,
Very diplomatic answer ... couple of questions though

Does Tekin see a demand at this time?

While we wait ... we can add Orion to the list of manufacturers that are going to produce 1s speedo's - Vortex R10 Pro (1-2S)

Need some Help please
My RS has the first two and last two lights flashing and the motor wont go unless I give it a little help by turning the wheels. It ran fine the first two races and then wouldn't run for the third? According to the Tekin website this error code could mean that I have the wrong motor selected but when I checked it with my hot wire it is set for brushless. I've tried a new booster, receiver, sensor wire and a known good motor with no avail? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated..
Bob
Also if I turn the switch for the speed control on first the lights flash correctly on the speed control. If I turn the booster on first it flashes with the error code I noted above, but either way it wont run!

One of the racers at the track I go to had the same issue. I was asked to help because of my experience with Tekin RS ESCs. I did the normal check out and then plugged in another receiver pack and it worked fine. The clue in his case was that it worked fine when turned on then flashed all the lights finally flashing 12 67. This told me that it wasn't receiving a signal from the radio. The receiver is a Spektrum which has a high low voltage threshold. The new receiver pack solved his problem (he wasn't charging the lipo pack properly).
This may not be your problem but woth a check.

Check all your solder joints too. Make sure they are solid and none of them are bridged.

I just went through the same thing and after going through all the tests it turned out to be the motor ( sensor ring I assume ) A different motor worked fine. Did you have any hard hits befor it failed? I did.

Yeah he felt it was best under 180f if we could help it. After the A main he pulled off at 181f.

Answers huh? Well what I am willing to admit is that our current hardware is nearing 4 years old. We at Tekin believe it's time for some new products. That's all I'm willing to share at this time.
