can you gear up a little? and turn the motor physical timing down to 0' to get the acceleration back?

magnus · #**582** 11-02-2010

Well I guess I could. I was just interested in the sensored mode as I saw most setups on the tekin site uses that mode. Can you physically adjust the timing on the tekin motor? It looks fixed or?...

It's really working fine, it's just that I wanted to know if I could make it even faster.

DCM · #**583** 11-02-2010

It is adjustable, three endbell screws, loosen, then turn it to increase or decrease timing, if you not touched it, you should be set at 12'

Sensored would give you a lot more RPM and make it more aggressive.

This might sound like a strange question to ask but is RS Pro packaging made from blister pack - the stuff you you have to cut open? Or is it re sealable. Reason being is that I like to keep all my packaging in order in case I want to sell it on? Thanks.

DCM · #**585** 12-02-2010

If I remember right, it comes in a box.

BagofSkill · #**586** 12-02-2010

Yep, it comes in a folded plastic box as DCM says, so it is re-sealable........ wierdo!

Ignore- question answered by a mate!

Hi can anyone recomend settings for the RS pro and redline 6.5 in my durango, I've got the 203 software.

I think I'm running something around this:

Dual mode
Timing 80
profile 3
limiter 90
neutral width 8

Also what should the timing be on the motor? I took it apart to make sure it was clean and oiled and I can't remember what timing was set at. It was at the default setting but I can't find anywhere that states what that is.

DCM · #**591** 22-02-2010

default setting is 12', if you want a little more grunt, then turn it down to 0', then you can afford to gear it up just a little.

Settings are about right to be honest

HarlowS · #**592** 22-02-2010

In my Durango im running the below. Seems pretty good now

Drag Brake 0
Current Limiter 90
Timing 70
Neutral 20
Profile was 3, now gone to 2 as the car has more initial grunt than B44 i used to run.

Nice one cheers guys. To be honest it felt good but was a bit lacking down the straight at worksop. I'll have a check to make sure I've got the timing right.

hey chaps

on sunday i had a problem with my rs pro it has previously been fault less basicly whay was hapening it would shut down momentarly then start again its definetly the esc as initaly i thought it was the spectrum but i changed that to std 40mhz and problem was still there. what would happen you would start the race and on about lap 4 it would loose all power to both throttle and steering just for a split second then it would come back on it would do this randomly from then on. imo the esc was rather warm for the amount of time on the track (2 leds) but warm to touch i know its not the motor (x12 13.5) causing the problems as once i changed the esc i set the 5th Q time and won leg 1 in the A and finished 3rd overal. has anybody got any ideas.

(running SW 203 with no boost sensord mode)

DCM · #**595** 22-02-2010

try swapping out the cap.

2 led's is nice and cool.

discostu · #**596** 22-02-2010

no its not the cap cut it off still does it.

DCM · #**597** 22-02-2010

might want to email support@teamtekin.com and they be able to help you more, I have not seen that problem myself, or even ask over on the Tekin forum.

I assume you checked all your connections?

discostu · #**598** 22-02-2010

yeah all connections checked im just in the proses of reloading the software to see if this cure problem it is intresting ive got it on the bench ive powerd it up its flashing led 1&2 and 6&7 which is wrong motor selected but software tells me its is correct and led in mode tell me its correct.

Randy p · #**599** 26-02-2010

If you're getting led's 12 67 and you're hooked it up to a known good brushless motor it may need to be serviced.

Make sure you're on MT 1.

Hello all.
I have some great news ... and a question

good news:
A local racer, with plenty of talent, asked me some time ag, if I did not had some advice for him. He was looking for a low-cost ESC ... but with rather good specs for his stockracing.
I explained him about Tekin and a long story in short, he bought himself an RS Pro ... and recently bought a second one

He was positivly amazed, as was I, about the performance that the 203-version of the soft was delivering.

In the mean while, His performances .. and that of my car, have amazed more then one pilot.
Only today I overheared more then One driver saying they defenitly needed a Tekin-ESC too, for their 17.5 and 10.5-class touring racing.

I have responded to a lot of questions, showed the ESC, the setup-buttons, the Hotwire, the software on my laptop ... and it really has made a difference.

Actually, as we speak, my two RS Pro's are installed in two Tamiya TA05IFS v2-cars that me and two friends will be racing in an endurance race:
8 hour's of non-stop driving, all cars free, EFRA-body, Limited tyres-choice and obligatory Nosram 17.5-brushless motor.

We did some testing today (that's where we were astonishing the other teams

) ... and the car went well. WIth a little fan on the motor, we had a temp of 45°C on the motor and 38°C on the ESC.

Now my question:
we drive a Tamiya TA05-car, Tekin RS Pro, Nosram 17.5 -motor, ratio of 4,5, on a rather small, bendy carpet-track, medium grip and with a One-way in stead of our usual spool because of the bendyness of the track and the fact that we don't need to use the breaks.

Could someone give advice on the setup of our ESC, so that we get an optimal ratio on speed / driving-time / less heat on the ESC.

ATM I have it on throttle Profile 3, voltage cutoff 2, sensored, delay 0.2, boost timing 45 and turbo boost 8 ...
