Have you checked the batteries in the controller. Sounds similar to another problem that I had and solved it with fresh batteries

Sorted it, dropped the end point to 135 from 140 and all is Ok

i had an issue when i turned the car on for the first time. If i pushed the throttle to full to test, it would be fine for about 2 seconds then drop down to around half speed and the lights would also drop down to around half way. Now i had this before and i needed to rebind the speedo and the transmitter together, i tried to do this but it didn't like the full forward position, i waited until the racing had stopped and did it again and it all worked fine. I went out to race, come back in at the end and then to marshall, when i came back i tried the car and the same thing again.
Now 1 thing i did notice was when i pushed full throttle the bind light on the RX dimmed down until i let go. Im running a sanwa 2.4 system but i have the Ansmann RX in the car, ive run these for around year or so with no issues, do you think it could be that ?

It may have been a coincident, but one attemp i moved the sensor wire and it worked and another i just left it switched on and kept trying it and it worked.

Anyideas, i thinking of trying another RX first.

Cheers

I have never seen two companies 2.4ghz be compatible before, ever. This would be a first.

The led's can tell you a lot of what's going on. Check this page and tell me what it looked like: http://www.teamtekin.com/rs_troubleshoot.html

Need an 8th esc short term, and am also stuck without a pc (Apple only sadly!), so, if I get an RX8 what can I do without hooking it up to a computer? What is able to be set direct to the esc without a Hotwire or computer connection?

The ansmann RX is the same as the Sanwa, just a different case

.

Thanks for the link,I'll have a look

You can do pretty much all that you need to do with the mode buttons. Main thing is timing that you cant do or Custom cutoff voltage which isnt major, and you wont really need timing on the RX8.

Can the tekin esc be used buy any tablets? Like the ipad/samsung/sony/etc etc
Android software then it would work with nearly any tablet.

I have a little 7 inch netbook that I have in the tool bag but Id rather have a tablet than the computer.

Damn even usage with the smart phones that are being released today would be great

HarlowS · #**1209** 11-12-2011

No, not until the tablet and phone manufacturers allow USB host control.

We are working on options at this time.

machinedred · #**1211** 13-12-2011

its about time we got our phones doing the work , what did you mean we cant have host controls for phones?

Randy p · #**1212** 13-12-2011

Google it. None of the current smart phones nor tablets offer the ability for "host control" which is required for Hotwire usage.

could i use a tekin rs pro with a tekin pro 4 motor
thanks codi

sideshowbob · #**1214** 14-12-2011

thx randy
i hope that didnt sound cheeky ,i just meant i dont understand what host usb means.

what can we do about fixing this issue then?

HarlowS · #**1215** 14-12-2011

The RS Pro wouldnt really be suited with the pro4 motors, You would need to get the RX8. You will get far more out of the motors performance using the RX8.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 seem to have USB host. Here

Northy · #**1217** 14-12-2011

An OTG port can be either a Host or a Device....

machinedred · #**1218** 14-12-2011

flippin heck mate thats awesome news ! get some tekin hotwire on it and away we go ! im gonna buy one of these s2 phones just for this!

OneKiwi · #**1219** 14-12-2011

I would buy one as well but Im not real sure that it will work, You still have to have the software installed, and Im not sure you can have it on the phone.

Thats why I still have my little 10" laptop with me

Randy p · #**1220** 15-12-2011

I have the new S2 and the "host" is not active at this time. Yes certain functions work but the internal processor is still not allowed to control an external device at this time.
