Hi tony
Bring it with you on Saturday and I will run through it all with you,have you a Hotwire.
I found before with another esc that it was the radio not set at zero trims etc that can stop the esc arming.?

Default Rx8

Just got a new rx8. Was wondering if the 3 screws in the box go in the bottom of the esc. Also what's the best way to mount it

Yes there are 3 silver screws that can be used to mount the esc. There's no "best" way just your choice of good ones

Hi Ivan,Ray will bring it on Sat,I wont be there,I will leave it soldered to the Teken motor,all you have to do is connect to a battery..Its under model number 4 on my Tranny..I will see you Sunday at racing,hopefully with some good news..Thanks for your help mate.Regards Tony.

You'll need a booster to get it to work with 1S.

This: http://www.rcdynamics.co.uk/Booster.html
The Rolls Royce booster

or this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...r_for_BEC.html

cheap as chips booster.

The HK cheapo one worked fine for me.

Still the same. I changed motors...... Still the same. I re-saved the settings again and again and....... Still the same!!

There was one difference after re-saving the settings - the fault code displaying on the speedo is wrong motor type???

This speedo has been ultra reliable for the past year or so, without skipping a beat, so seems strange to just pack up on me now!!

Any help gratefully received!!

Jay
have you been playing with end point on the radio? if so, rebind with everything at max then setup your esc... I hope this makes sense

@firetian I need more info than this to help.

What motor exactly? Esc setup? Radio system? Battery? etc.

Default 5.5 gen2 in buggy

Hi Randy and fellow tekin users, Ive got to the point where Im pushing my redline 6.5 to the max outdoors and could still do with a little more punch in infield and speed down straight. Im running sensored, roughly 16 timing on can and 30 boost on esc. Any more and I'll be thermal.

Would I get a little more from the gen2 5.5 you think? I dont want to go dual on it really as my 6.5 feels like a snail now in dual mode

Thanks. Likely ordering tomorrow regardless but would be nice for some feedback too.

hi,
my tekin RS is doiing wierd stuff :
i updated to the latest 238 software and it got stuck
it took me 5-6 update tries to get it recognised and connected on the hotwire/pc again, eventually it connected.
after that it was working, except for the speed :
it's making the car run at least half the speed compared to before the 238 update with exactly the same settings and engine
i'm running a tamiya 17t sensorsless engine on a touring chassis
so the esc was setup in dual mode, timing advance max
I did notice that the start and end RPM displayed with a few digits missing
eg. 20000 became 2000, 8000 became 800 in the display
this was also very wierd

So shall I revert to the previous update of the esc software?
Is my tekinRS faulty ? why ?
