Team Tekin Q&A

Hotwire is Windows only, no ipad.

Thanks for the help.


Cheers. Alex

is there still no tablet or smartphone available that can do the "usb-host" thing ?
only "small pc" solution for hotwire is still a notebook or ultrabook ?
is the vegas software supported in windows 8 ?

[Randy p]

USB hosting is still not the most popular thing on mobile devices. Very few have it. The Tekin Hotwire is already Win8 Compatible.

thanks randy
i'm looking to by this one Samsung Ativ Smart PC XE500 to use the hotwire on races
I just have to figure out if this will support the usb hosting
(it is a hybrid between tab and notebook)

[Randy p]

What OS is it on?

[carborush]

Windows 8

[Randy p]

Pro or RT?

[carborush]

it's windows 8 32bit or 64bit
not pro and not RT

[smokes]

Where can I get a my rs pro repaired in the uk the plastic housing for the plug has broken causing the the cable to work loose.

[Randy p]

If you're talking about the servo lead: TT3807

If you simply need a case kit: TT3817 RS Pro

[carborush]

i can gladly confirm my new samsung 700T1C does support the tekin hotwire software and usb connection

Hi,

Can someone advise me what timing advance I should use on my RS Pro. I run a DEX 410 with a Novak 6.5 on 21/87 gearing. I use dual drive, a current limit of 85, 3150 - 20016 RPM, throttle profile 3.

Thanks very much

Jason

Depends on track size really, you could go up 1 or two teeth on pinion too but i would look at around 65-80 on the timing.

[Jason B]

Thanks for that - it is a small carpeted indoor track so I thought I might go down quite a bit - would 20% be too much or better at 65-80%? Presumably the nearer to 100% the hotter the motor?

Cheers

[HarlowS]

If the track is quite small then i wouldnt worry too much about timing, 25% mark would be fine, its only until you feel your lacking top end that i would start going higher, and even then you could go up on the pinion a tooth and leave the timing as it is.

[Jason B]

Cheers - that's great I will give it a go at 25%

Yes, it avoids spikes in power and possible damage.
