Tekin RS Brushless ESC released

[jimmy]

Tekins R1 and R1 pro sensor-less brushless systems have been around for a while - but hard core racers now have their wish with a new sensored system from Tekin. The RS and RS Pro - the latter having a massive 48 fets on board for ultra low resistance and cool running.

The systems can run in either Sensored, sensorless or a combination of the two. And should the worst happen and water or collision damage interferes with the sensor wire, the system will automatically fall back to sensoreless mode so you can keep racing.

Where do you get this info from, Jimmy? I can not find this on the Tekin-Page ... or I must have missed it somewhere?

[Danosborne6661]

Yummy! I got 2 on the way, will get some snaps up when the beauts arrive

I bet you can't!!!!

The price will be pretty close to all the leading brands around today... The cheapest place currently in UK and most of Europe is The Raceplace.
They are selling the R1 Pro for £149.99 which is cheaper than nearly everywhere.
I would expect the RS Pro to be around that price, and having seen it running last weekend it was very good... Oh, and remember you can upgrade the software... how many other speedo's do that at the touch of your own fingertips ????

Easy: the Mamba Max does :)
In fact, also the Sidewinder .... all Castle Creations ESC do with their Castle Link-software.
The transfer does not go via a hotlink but via an USB-adapter. Works very easy!!

I didn't look at the website tbh, I just nicked the photos and the description. The way it works is described by Tekin themselves on rctech

[DCM]

the major difference between the Tekin and Mamba is that the Mamba needs a laptop to adjust, the Tekin doesn't, although the Hotwire does open up other facilities too, like motor timming. The space saved by not having the USB on-board is massive too.

[Lowie]

Nope, not correct.
You can tune the MM (and the Sidewinder) after getting the ESC in setup-mode and by giving signals with the Radio. (Not an easy procedure!)

... about the USB-port: correct, but a little bird told me Castle Creations-technici are thinking about making the next gen ESC without this USB-port again, as is the Sidewinder.

[DCM]

ah, that isn't so bad, but not a simple procedure then.... bit like programming the mTroniks with it's two flashing lights lol

[OldTimer]

The new 1/8 Mamba Monster has no usb port. Just wish tekin would get the RX8 out so i can give it a try in.

[DCM]

use an R1.... the RX8 is based on it Jon

[OldTimer]

I guess there must be some difference ?, the R1 Pro is only upto 3s lipo :eh?: i am running 4s.

[DCM]

the difference mostly is in the BEC handling and the such, as there is a difference in how it has to handle it

[DCM]

although you can remove the =ve wire from the servo lead to stop the esc powering the radio, and run a receiver pack?

CHING CHING!!! I was gonna go for the Speed Passion, as it does go rather well, but I still have a major liking to Tekin, and now DCM has one I may be tempted. Whats it like to drive???

[DCM]

I took it out earlier, running a 14mm sintered rotor and an LRP 5.5 (courtesy of Mr Doughty sir!), Tekin LiPo and..... erm.... well lets put it this way, I have now backed the slipper off and turned the throttle profile down.... and the power limiter down.... it was stupid quick

[Danosborne6661]

Awesome! Looks great, looking forward to receiving mine in the post this week
Pics to follow for when it does :)

[DCM]

Dan, they are a bugger to fit though.... not cause they are big, but the opposite, so it got to be the right way and the wiring tidy.... hope mine looks tidy though!

[Danosborne6661]

Yea, i've been waiting for them to release them for a while so over this
time i've been waiting i've already got the wiring planned out, its for the B4 :)

[Si G]

Have any UK shops got them in stock yet? (or even been given an expected delivery date?)

Cool. I still am going towards Tekin, and if they can sort me out with a programmer for my pc with the esc then game on, but Speed passion does come with one for the same price. Mmmm which one to go for.

[Danosborne6661]

Naah i shouldn't think any UK shops will have them yet, but as you may know you can order directly from Tekin if you don't want to wait around :)

[Danosborne6661]

I GOT MINE :D

[DaveG28]

I can't find them on the tekin website for sale (can find the info, but not in the shop)?

Am well tempted, same size as the R1 which might let me then shoehorn my futaba receiver into an Aero, meaning I can sell a transmitter and spektrum module set!! :thumbsup:

[restimax]

The last sunday, i have tested my X10 with the tekin rs pro and feigao 6.5 motor, with sensor enable, but i have some problems.... the speedo after a big jump or hard blow, the motor is off, for 5-10 seconds, for this time the motor is off, but the steering no.
after the 5-10 second motor it leaves again and regular. :cry: what's?

excuse for my bad english...:(

p.s. for feigao 6.5 which is the correct timing to set on the rs pro?
thanks

cheers
