That would be rockin' cool, but for sure it would have to be password protected! Imagine a world where you're all set, everything programed, and just as you're powering up your car and walking up to the track for your main, you get a profile downloaded into YOUR speedo from someone else in the pits!

Would imagine it would have a password system like with a Bluetooth headset. Sounds great though. First company to would clean up the market.

Smart phones are much more common, and convenient than a laptop or netbook. If they could do away with the HotWire hardware and change it to a Bluetooth, supported on smart phones/tablets (when the functionality arrives), that would eleminate the expense/trouble of an additional piece of hardware since darn near every smart phone has bulit in bluetooth. In the mean time, most laptops have it built in as well. If not, it's a $10 little do-dad that fits in a USB port.
It would also allow you to pull off to the side of the track, link to your car, update your speedo, and go out again for some more laps to evaluate different profiles much easier WITHOUT EVER LEAVING THE DRIVER'S STAND!
THAT would make your day faster, and make your track time $$$ go much further. That's something I'm willing to pay for!

Smaller, Smarter, Faster for 12th scale is all that matters.

Has anyone cut there switch off a tekin? I lost a race this weekend cause my switch "jared" off . It's mounted secure to the chassis flat on is in The forward location. I was qualified second out of 15 I think clipped a pipe and flipped over at speed and it shut off
came in 9th .
came in 9th .

I have done that on every esc I've owned but wasn't sure if it would mess up programming it with pc or buttons?

I bought a used one with the switch removed from the circuit board and it turns Off/On with the receiver pack switch. Works great! No issues!

I am having an odd problem. Not sure what caused this as I have been running this RS for over a year with no issues.
It is stuttering at mid throttle. Sometimes it acts like the sensor wire is bad so I replaced, then I tried another motor, then I recalibrated the radio. I even tried just running it in sensorless mode. So here is what it is doing, sensored only mode, it takes off fine (most of the time) Then I let off to drive mid throttle and the motor freaks out and won't spin (like the senor board is bad, or wire, or...) but like I said before tried different motors. (ballistic, SS, and D3). It just stutters and sounds like when you wire up the motor incorrectly and are trying to run in sensored only mode. If I push it, it still won't go. I actually have to let off the throttle or give it full throttle to get it moving again. And it does not happen consistently. I have checked the sensor port on the ESC case and is it not loose.
Could a bad CAP cause this? When I spin the motor the first three LED's blink like expected, so it seems the hall senors are being seen.
Any ideas beyond what I have already tried would be appreciated. If nothing works then its back to tekin for repair.
