Thanks for the reply DCM. Yes I have the Hotwire and the speedo is updated to 180 version and I've tried everything, believe me! As for the capacitor, the Nosram one is almost three times bigger than the Tekin one, so no issue with that. As for the cooling fan, I purchased the speedo because of sensorless design, I thought that there would be no temp issues so there would be no need for a fan, but I was mistaken.
Anyway I'm very frustrated at the moment and I'm in contact with Tekin. A speed control is not a cheap machine to destroy! Let's see what they will say, I have the feeling that they are very good with after sales service. But have you seen anyone using it in their touring cars, because I haven't and there should be a good reason for that! I'll keep you informed if I have good news, or else, forget about it and never look back. Sorry, but the last thing I wanted when I purchased the speedo was a headache! |

It might not have a heatsink or fan but it still has the same amount of heat to get rid of as other brushless ESC's...

it is smaller, can be upgraded with firmare, easily adjustable in the car (full set of LED's) and the top end performance is really getting there with each firmware update (which are free if you got the hotwire)

you need to keep an eye on the forum on www.teamtekin.com as there is some gems of information on there, and don't be afraid of asking.
It doesn't need a heatsink, the solder posts ARE the heatsink, and if you are getting thermal problems, then you NEED to cool it, simple as that, but in off-road, they find that mostly you don't. when you are running, what is the temp indicator showing on the LED's?

Personally Tekin would be the best buy. the development they do is second to none and the president appears to have a plan which he has set in motion. All I can say is watch this space as they can only get a lot better.
