Glad you liked them Paul, you looked like you adapted well to them.... pretty good setup you were running i heard

Good luck at the national this weekend with your new kit!

[Swiss]

Yeh, you can wish me good luck in person when I am pitting next to you in the tent Might show you my nice new shiny battery connectors!

You're overtimed buy quite a bit in wheeler. Try running somewhere around 40 boost. Your turbo will likley NEVER get activated with a 1.7 second delay. And to be honest , you really shouldn't need it in offroad.

Also in offroad your start and end rpm's should be more like 5k start and 22k end.

Also do you really like 100% drag brake?

im waiting for my tekin rs pro to arrive which will be fitted into my Mi4LP touring car for use on tarmac with a 10.5 and 13.5 sometimes. When it arrives does it come with a disc or do i have to down load the program from the tinternet if so what program.
After its installed what would be a good starting point, setting wise and am i right in saying that due to the turbo you run the ratio higher ie instead of say 5 overall you run it at 6 for example

Matt_N,

I'd start with less timing in the motor, I run 0deg, and maybe a bit less boost timing for safety until you get to know it otherwise you're risking a cooed motor. Maybe go up a bit on turbo, say 20, so you get a proper shove down the straight. Delay should be about 0.2 or 0.3, it needs to be set so that it doesn't kick in on the infield, just on the staright, so you want the minimum value that allows that. And get rid of the drag brake, 0%! It isn't necessary and will just add heat which will mean you can't run the drive setup as aggressive.

HTH,
Chris.

Madon,

the hotwire come with a disk but as ever, the shipping disks for software are well behind the currently available firmware developments. You can download the latest version from the Tekin website, just look for the Vegas 203 icons.

Starting setup will depend on the circuit you're on, but I always think it's better to start conservative to avoid melting motors. Only thing is start with a turbo of 15 or more otherwise you can struggle to notice it which means you won't gear appropriately.

HTH,
Chris.

Setup for 10.5 on Rubber tyres

Brake Strength 100
Neutral Width 8
Throttle Profile 3
Timming boost 30-40
Turbo Boost 10-20
Motor Timing 0

strongly recomend you keep total timing (motor+boost+turbo) to max 50'

if you have a tight infield, run the lower timing boost, open infield, run a higher boost.

Set esc to run in Sensored mode

Advanced settings

End RPM of 6000
Start RPM 3500-4000
Delay .2
Turbo Ramp 3

FDR about 8:1

This is a setup for a large indoor carpet track running the Redline 10.5

[madonrc]

Thanks for your replies. I will be running it at Bedworth if anyone has ever ran there system there

Thanks for the help Chris But I can't run any less timing on the motor, minus 20 is the lowest the Nosram pure's can go.

Thanks also for the help Randy But I'm running it in a touring car. I will turn the turbo delay down a bit then as per your recommendations. What would you recommend for the start and end rpm's?

Cheers

[DCM]

Matt, what track you running on, is it indoor/outdoor?

[Matt_N]

Indoor on carpet, 30x16. Not sure whether to use the Tekin now, just put new software on my Xerun and it feels majorly fast

[stox217]

What set up should i be looking at a hotbodies cyclone runnning 2s lipo and a gm 17.5 geared on 40/66 (outdoors bedworth) no timing on the motor (built in timimg tho)
Cheers

[DCM]

how much timing is there on the motor if it is built in?

[stox217]

30 degree's I believe

[DCM]

then if you run to much timing, your gonna cook your motor, I have not had any experience of a GM motor, so I would suggest you ask over on Tekins support forum maybe, or even look on Tekins site at their setup sheets.

[stox217]

okay cool il run less timing boost to start
