Ok, then my first guess is that the cable you have isn't an OTG cable. Is this a HW 1.0 or 2.0?

My other thought is that your phone doesn't support OTG at all, which it must.

Default Trouble

Hi Randy, the hotwire I have is a Gen1 and Gen1 RS speedo.

The cable is an OTG cable.

Again I tried my hotwire, my OTG cable on my RS with my mates HTC and it worked fine. Plug it back in to my phone and nothing.

The trouble seems to be my phone or a compatibility issue. I was told that some Apps don't work on my phone because of the processor powering it - Intel.

Thinking I need to get another phone

Hi,

Grateful for some set up advice for my RSX and my new gen 2 Tekin 6.5 motor. I have seen the set up charts on the Tekin website but they differ so much from my RS Pro settings I really could do with a starting point.
I run a Durango DEX410 v4 and my current set up for the RS Pro is as follows:

Gearing 21/87 – Novak 6.5 (Ballistic)
Dual mode (forward/brake only)
Drag brake 10
Starting RPM 3150
End RPM 20016
Throttle profile 3
Current limit 90
Throttle Minimum 3
Push control off
Brake Strength 90
Neutral width 5
Voltage cut off 2S
Timing advance 80
Brake minimum 0
Active brake off

The above is good apart from the motor heat which can be in the mid to high 80s celsius so whilst I would like a similar base set up for mid - high grip tracks, I would like the motor to be a bit cooler. I do notice that 6.5s seem to be geared at 20 (I have always geared at 21 for several years with different speedos as well) and not dual mode on the RSX so grateful for some specific pointers so can then tune the speedo.
Cheer!

Jason

Hi Jason, I've done lots of testing and have pushed my RSX and 5.5 pretty far without thermal issues.

Try this.

Drop down to a 19 or 20 pinion.

Run sensored only with 75-85% current limit.

0 boost

Then dial in some turbo until you get the desired speed down the straight. I have delay at 0.14 or so.

Mines real smooth like this but still ballistic down straight.

Them gen 2 motors and RSX run pretty cool compared to my rspro and gen1.

Thanks very much Danny - presumably my other old rs pro settings are ok and also will the car be slow down the straight with no turbo?

Thanks

Jason

My logic is by gearing it down lower, its less stress on the motor on 95% of the track. The turbo then raises the top speed to make up for the lower gearing but only comes in on the straight.

My rs pro didn't like turbo on mod motors but the new RSX seems to do it without breaking a sweat. I'm yet to see the fan turn on.

Mine runs great like this.

What you also must understand is that the Gen2 esc's including the RSX have MUCH MUCH stronger boost than the Rs Pro or other Gen1 esc's.

It's so much stronger there's a red warning sheet in the package if you read it

Default Tekin RS

Hi Randy
Was running my TM2 at the weekend ( RS with 7.5 Tekin motor) and just at the start of the last final i turned it on and gave a rev to check all was ok put it on the ground and it wouldnt go . No noise ,smoke or anything ,thought it was the motor as it had the burnt smell, but on checking this it is fine.
RS is about 2 years old (bought in US)with no problems until now ?
Where should i send for checking, repair.
Thanks

Default RS speedo

Hi Randy
Trying to power up a few times it chimes sometimes ,probably 50% of the time ( tried 10 times)centre led comes on then when you accelerate all led`s light and motor tries to turn then VC led furthest right stays lit and slight hum from sc.This is with motor on bench and works fine with rs pro.
Burnt smell still there but not getting worse,.

Howya Ivan,
If theres a burnt smell its likely to be a gonner (unless its the capacitor)...
But see the way the motor is trying to turn, like its cogging, I wonder did one of the pins on the sensor wire short to another pin (this happened me).

What to do it power it up and turn the motor by hand, and you can see the 3 leds on the right come on one by one (they are very dim).
If they don't and the motor works fine on another esc then the sensor part of the esc is damaged. (use a known good sensor wire for the test)

Ok, my guess is you may have an issue with a FET "gate" here. I'd suggest sending it in. You don't want to further damage the esc.

Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked before but the fan doesn't seem to operate on my RSX. Presumably the speedo isn't getting hot enough to trigger it but grateful for confirmation - speedo is ace though

Cheers

Jason

Your right there fella, speedo not got hot enough, but if your worried in the settings you can make it be on all the time.

One of Paul Timberlakes old setups may get your going in the right direction:

Having problems with a Gen 2 hotwire, using a samsung tab 2 (which is on the known working list)

Tried three different USB adaptors and two samsung leads, but just won't recognise the hotwire and keeps going into demo mode...

any ideas....?

You need to make sure the little adapter lead is OTG compatible, I tried two before I got one to work, even though they both claimed to be OTG.
