tekin rs pro
 

hi just bought a tekin rs pro from dms last week , and wired it up today for the first time , and it does not work , i have readapted it to the radio loads of times and yet it does nothing but flash number 1 and 2 lights and 6 and 7 , i have checked all conections , tried a new motor and sensor lead ,tried diffrent reciever , checked the trouble shooting guide, and it says wrong motor type, so rechecked and its set for brushless any help from any body who runs these speedos cheers phil :(

Just to check.. what number do you have the motor type set to?

no 1

it sounds like you either got the ESC set for Brushed and using Brushes or brushless and using brushed.... http://www.teamtekin.com/manuals/RSManual.pdf

I know it may sound daft but do they come pre-set on the Brushed function?

Clutching at straws here... sometimes the lights don't fully line up with the label, is it definately MT you have set to 1?

yes def set to brushless mode number 1

did you try a brushed motor phil ?

no its the only thing i have not tried :cry:

on the mode button, you got the sixth LED lit, then on the incr button, cycled through to one LED on?

yes that is corect

email support[at]teamtekin[dot]com or visit the support forum at www.teamteking.com you may get a fuller answer.

Just try re-checking over the whole ESC, wiring to the motor, also worth trying this

i have done the reset already and made no difrence at all

I found I had to reverse my throttle on the radio to get R1 Pro to work right.

No idea if this will be any help to you.

was about to say what glypo said. to get mine to set initially and go through the setup section i had to revese my throttle on the TX

cheers guys will give that a try , hope that works

I've been having trouble with mine, but not in the same way. Have you got the hotwire? It might help to link the speedo up to a pc, check the software and settings that way.

With mine, I used it for the first time last week. It felt like it had no punch, and no top end with a Novak 4.5 motor. Gearing is correct. Then I blew the power cap in my second race??? Maybe a faulty cap? I cant seem to get a response from Tekin support or forum though.

So this week Im having to run a Top Force Evo with EZ run in!!!!

I wouldn't use the supplied power cap on anything other than Tekin RedLine motors. The capacitor is very small (apparently high quality though) and provides enough for the ESC under load with the efficient RedLine motors.

This is particularly the case for the R1/R1 Pro (I am not sure why people would want RS for off-road?) where the slotless sensorless Redline motors work very efficiently on the ESC. A real pain they are not BRCA legal. If I was changing motor to anything else, I would change power cap, at 330 millifarads the can they supply is not a lot for other motors.

Wouldn't people prefer it for off road because it's sensored with sensorless backup rather than just sensorless? Does it have any disadvantages compared to the R1 pro?

Hope it all works anyway, got one waiting to wire up!

Its worth a try but i thought you had already completed the radio calibration successfully?. Sometimes the autosetup doesn't like the values it gets from the transmitter when configuring the end points... in which case it should work on the reverse setting.
