I'm running mine on a 5.5 (4wd) and 6.5 (2wd) like this:-

DB = 0
BS = 100%
LM = Off
NW = 10%
TP = 4
MT = 1 (forward only brushless)
VC = off (not run lipos yet)

Hybrid mode
Timing 80%

I've run that seup on LRP/Peaks and more recently on the sensored Tekin motors.... which by the way are excellent!:thumbsup:

With Team Extremes partnership with Tekin, does this mean that the RedLines might finally get BRCA legalised? It seems Much More haven't sorted it, I just hope someone does.

As you say the RedLines are awesome motors. If so I hope it is both the Sensored and Sensorless stuff as unlike ROAR I think there are no reason why the Sensorless stuff shoulddn't pass the BRCA regs.

The sensorless motors were not homologated for BRCA use because the rotors are too large. They are smaller in the sensored ones (12.3 mm diameter, I think) so there shouldn't be any problem.

My understanding is that they have been submitted to Paul Worsley for testing.

Tekin responded to my email within 5 days, nd we are in the process of resolving my issues.
Does anyone know if Tekin has any team drivers in the North East, should I need to see anyone about my speedo?

KevLee - how would you describe the performance of the redline motors in comparison to the others you tried?

They're very smooth motors great for offroad and the build quality is really nice. They seemt to run cooler than any other motor i've had so that has to be good for longevity... the cans are machined out of a thick lump of aluminium so that probably helps with the dissipation.

Homologation
 

Incorrect!

Muchmore UK have been working with the BRCA and Tekin for a long time to get the Tekin products homologated. We have the Li-Po's and Redline motors in hand and they will appear (or already have appeared) on the relevant homologation list when the BRCA are confident that the samples submitted meet the necessary requirements.

If anyone wants more information, just drop us an email.

That is fantastic Keith. Great to know Tekin have an active importer.

Is this only for the Sensored motors though (due to the size issues of sensorless mentioned by Dunc previously?).

Yes, i sent PW a sensorless motor earlier this year and the rotor dimensions aswell as the bore are outside the specs.

Yes, you are correct Jason. We still keep stock of all the Sensorless motors, however, they can not be homologated.

Thank you.

So WHO IS the OFFICIAL importer for Tekin then? Since it is they who will deal with all of this.

Hi Darren,

Much-More UK have been importing and distributing ALL the Tekin products to model shops for over 5 years now. We've dealt with all of the Tekin products currently on (or about to be on) the homolgation list and paid the relevant fees to the BRCA.

If someone else wants to pay the fees, submit the products and deal with any technical changes required, then I am sure Tekin and Much-More UK would be delighted :D

Many thanks,

Keith.

Keith, I thought it was Much More, which is where we purchase all of ours from (as you know) but it seems we have confusion over who is doing it and who isnt, so glad you could clarify

I sent the sensorless motor to paul as requested by tekin to get an idea if there was a chance of it being homologated..... I don't think this was in place of the official route, just a quick inspection. I hope i didn't step on any toes :)

Hi Kev,

Apologies, I did not mean anything negative. Tekin mentioned you were testing the sensorless motors and were going to ask PW to take a look - its a shame everyone has gone down the sensored route now as the sensorless motors and R1 systems do perform very well indeed!

Thanks again,

Keith.

the lipo packs were homologated a long time ago, I even showed PW the cells at the Talywain national.

hello i am french .
i have a trf501x ,tekin rspro, vortex race 6.5.(low grip on my track)
my gearing is 96/20 and timing 40 that is preconized for 6.5 motor.
with this configuration my car has no punch a good speed but it's difficult for me because there is a double bump just after a corner.

right, for a 6.5, try around the 80% timming on the esc, also, you might just be geared a little high for the 6.5, I run the DB-01 (same internal ration as the 501X-WE) and run a 91/17 and this is plenty quick enough.

Do you have the Hotwire, Sebus?

yes i have, i will try with timing to 80 and pinion 18-19 .
i tried timing 12 , pinion 19 :good punch but not enough speed.
i tried timing 40 , pinion 20 : low punch , good speed

Got in from work tonight and had a parcel on the mat from tekin , a brand new speedo , finally , cant wait to see if this one works :eh?:

get it in the pred for sunday :thumbsup:
