Default Tekin R1 finally available!

Saw this a few days ago:

https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...l?pn=TEKTT1151



Does anyone know if it works well? Any "child diseases"?

Are there available other B/L speedos this small sized?

They have been available in the UK through www.theraceplace.co.uk since december!!!!

Should also be mentioned that the R1 Pro has TQ'd nearly every meeting it has attended in UK ......

Stotfold Winter Series 20/01/08 3 Tekin R1 Pro's in the A Final 2wd!!!!

Speedo is great and with on going software updates available for download on the internet you should never have a problem...

I have been running mine since the start of december and i have been very impressed. Loads of onboard adjustments which are really easy to understand. It also has a realtime temperature gauge (although mine has barely got warm so far).

It is small and it doesn't even need a fan..... i think it has more FETs than any other speedo on the market at the moment

There are always going to be developments in any product like this. The great thing about Tekin is that they will always have the lastest software available for download from their website with the Hotwire system.

There were 4 running at Stotfold winter series yesterday and all were very impressed !

It is defiantly nice and small, but i've never been 100% convinced about sensorless Brushless ESC's, and i know i'm not the only one.........

Default Motors

Which motors does the R1 use? Tekin`s own none-sensored, or any normal sensored brushless motors? ie: motors with the hall sensor lead.

I've been using the Peak 6.5 in my 2wd and also ran an lrp with a sintered rotor without any issues (i've tested on very high and very low grip tracks). I'd advise running sintered as it gives more feedback for the controller to track the rotor.

If you read the instructions of the Peak motor, its says "suitable for sensored and sensorless speed controllers".

I ran it with a Novak 5.5R (sintered) all day Sunday without a problem...

I was running an Orion Vortex 7.5 without any problems.

The Tekin makes the Hall sensor circuitry redundant. This can be beneficial in the wet as I understand it is this component that fails when it comes into contact with too much water.

I don't know (or understand) the details, but believe the R1 systems determine where the rotor is via comparing the back EMF of each phase.

Dont believe everything you read on the peak/orion instructions 'all leading sensored and sensorless speed controllers'...... as far as im aware the mamba max is one of THE leading sensorless speedos and mine didnt work with that, and i tired EVERYTHING.
