Team Tekin Q&A

[Lee24h]

will a savox 1251 be ok on a tekin rs running 1 cell lipo?

[Randy p]

Yes as long as your booster or rx pack can handle the load.

Looking for some help with a setup for 2wd. Running a Durango DEX210, Tekin RS Pro and a SpeedPassion V3.0 7.5t . Currently the car has no smoothness to the bottom end. All the settings are off (no turbo, no timing, setting 3 on the profile). Trouble is also the car lacks top end too.

The track is a mix of floor boards (very slippery), astro, carpet and painted wood. It has a mix of rumble strips, small jumps and a large tabletop.

Any help for a starting point would be appreciated.

cheers

Have you got the Hot wire programer box..If so hook it you to your laptop and change your settings.. T

[jo90]

Is that a serious reply ?

[DCM]

Have you got a hotwire?

[InsideLineModels]

This is what I run on a Redline Gen2 7.5 and RS Pro in my RB6

Gear ratio 26/76

DB 8
BS 100
LM 75
NW 8
TP 3

Sensored only mode
Boost 25
Standard RPM range (5k to 20k)
Turbo - off

We have a few setups in our photo album section on facebook which might useful. Paul Timberlake's is Similar to this but with less boost and may be a safer place to start.

I use the LM (Current limiter) a fair amount to tune how aggressive the car feels. generally 75% is a good place to start for 2wd and 80% for 4wd.

[jo90]

Thanks Kev. I've also played with the current limiter, but still finding that the car delivers to much to soon still. It's currently on 55%. I have no turbo set at all.

I tried playing also with profile C2, arranging a much more lower drop on points 1 and 2, which then ramps up to 3 fairly steadily. I then found the stick rather dead, then all of a sudden way way to much, so went back to the linear 3 profile.

My Settings are

Min Throttle - 5
Neutral Width - 10
Current limiter - 55%
TP - 3
Boost - 0
Turbo - 0
Endbell timing - Centre
Gearing 23/78
Drive mode - Sensord only
M Type - BL/FW

The ESC/Hotwire are the latest firmware

Im hoping a team tekin driver might be around at the event this Saturday (im only doing 2wd)

Im seriously thinking about putting in a 13.5t and turbo'ing it to give me the grunt and top end this weekend (im at OffRoad Wars).

[DCM]

Have you tried a softer motor Jo, on a small indoor track I go down to a 10.5, and only an 8.5, maybe 7.5 outdoors.

Then Kev's settings work well.

[Randy p]

@ Jo90

On 7.5 don't be scared to try dual mode. Sensored only mode is pretty abrupt on the bottom end where as dual mode is not.

If the track is slick OR I simply have too much power overall, I'll swap into dual mode, timing advance between 80-100.

[jo90]

Cheers Randy, I will give that a try also

Hiya, I would mate but its a £55-60 change

[DCM]

Try Randy's suggestion then jo.

[matt76]

Hi guys, i'm after some setting to get me going with my new tekin rs pro, I have durango dex410 running a speedpassion 5.5r motor, running on a large outdoor astro track

thanks alot

matt

[kartstuffer]

I would suggest running in blinky mode to try it first with a 5.5 motor .22/87 gearing should keep it cool.

[matt76]

Thanks, at the moment im running 21/87, is that ok?? and how do you set blinky mode? (stupid question but I'm new to Tekin and 4wd)

thanks alot

Matt

[DCM]

I would suggest initially to run it in dual mode first, as Randy set out, if you need a little more, use kevs setting above but with less timing.

[matt76]

Thanks mate i'll give it a go, if I can work out what all the letters stand for,lol.

[Jason B]

Hi - I have an RS Pro speedo which I am very pleased with but can someone explain why it goes backwards if I turn my transmitter off first after a race. It isn't a big issue but I wondered if the reverse can be switched off.

Cheers

Jason

You can set foreward and brake only using the hotwire. Wierd it does that though.
