Team Tekin Q&A

[DCM]

yes, you would need the hotwire to get into sensored mode.

Is the capacitor fitted? is it on the right way round?

The reason i ask is i run a Speed Passion capacitor (4 in a row one) and it runs way cooler. So i'm thinking the opposite could be the problem.

Or not

[rob84]

a guy a the club has a laptop i can use, could you give a setup that i could try nxt week? capacitor is defo on and the right way. cheers

Try running dual mod with the Timing Advance at 90 to start out. Make sure you're running V203 software.

You also MUST run the cap on the esc. Remove the shrink wrap on the solder posts too. Those are our "heatsinks."

[Lowie]

had the same issue but it turned out to be the on/off-switch that began to malfunction, as little and simple as it is !?!

[Randy p]

Well the switch is easy to replace as long as there is some leads left. Just bend the tab and push it out of the housing...

Can someone please offer a settings suggestion for running the tekin in a pred x11 with a 5.5 motor please?

I have software version 203 installed at the moment. If possible, I would like suggestions for sensored and dual mode please.

On top of that lot, can somebody please explain the benefits of timing advance? If I run no timing advance is that better than running max timing advance? Will either damage the motor?

There are sooooo many variables in this it seems almost impossible to get right!

Just got a v3 6.5 Speed Passion in the car and ran it for the first time last Sunday on a damp astro turf track.

Now I'm finding it's got stupid amounts of punch. Therefore change:

Timing?
Current Limit?
Throttle Profile?

At the moment I've reduced the timing and tempted to change the throttle profile to a less aggressive map. I'm on a standard map at the mo.

[DCM]

change the physical timing on the motor, the lower the motor timing, the more punch, you could also change the profile from 3 to 2, to make it a little more controllable, also, current limit will help, I never run any more than 95, often at 90.

5.5 in off-road, I would not suggest you go down the route of sensored unless you really REALLY need to.

Gearing, as Kev, he runs that car.

Setup, Dual mode

Timing 80
profile 3
limiter 90
neutral width 8

I have changed the current limit to 80 at the moment and timing to 50.

I'll be going to throttle profile 2 too.

I don't think my new 40C LIPOs are helping either..

[DCM]

unfortunately, the new software creates more power, so you may have to go down a turn on the motor, lol.... bummer huh!!

You are joking

Just sold my 7.5 that I had in the Cat SX as I won a 6.5 at Petit RC

Time to loose more timing then!

Changing my gearing too to 83 / 23 to loose some of the kick

[DCM]

Can you adjust the timing on your motor?

I think so, I'll have to check the destructions.

Going to order a Speed Passion v3 8.5 for the Cougar SV which will also be running a tekin RS Pro and Nosram 40C LIPOs

[DCM]

if you can adjust the timing, increase it, as it will reduce the initial torque, and running in dual mode, it won't affect the timing.

Oh, more timing ok. I'll look at that. I think they come with some as standard out of the factory.

[DCM]

most do, but if you want to reduce the torque, increase timing, if you want more, reduce the timing on the motor.

[BagofSkill]

Can anyone help on setup and maybe gearing for an 8.5 (LRP X11) at the Pro-Line Dirt Arena.

Track is this one (9:30 in): http://vimeo.com/8422272

Cheers,
Chris.

[DCM]

use the above dual mode setup, but not to sure on the gearing.
