tekin rs and nosram storm
 

Has any body ever run a tekin rs speedo with a nosram storm evo motor ???

Just wondering what they think to the set up

ive just had a new rs pro mate...took it out the box,fitted it and it worked for around 10 mins and died...hardware issue apparently!! id go gm if i was you...the new gm120 2010 looks better from what ive seen testing this weekend,and more reliable

mine is going well so far its just the motor i cant seem to get much brakes

I've run the old nosram motors before Tekin had theirs available and I ran similar setup from what I can remember.

This is what I run in offroad and change very little between 2wd or 4wd

Dual mode
timing 80%
db10%
bs 100%
tp 4
lm 90% maybe more if you are using hi c rated lipos)
nw 8%

hope that helps

Sounds like you've been unlucky with that, I've been running Tekin speedos for over 2 years now and haven't had one speedo failure. Actually I think I've only ever seen one failure in another car. They are definately the most reliable electronics I've ever had..

Hope you get it sorted soon though,

Is it a sintered rotor you have in that motor? Also do you have the brakes set up to 100%? make sure when you are on full brakes all the lights are flashing on the speedo, if not it needs setting up again.

You should have plenty of brakes, I have to turn mine down on the transmitter!

the motor is sintered and im running 100 % on the tekin and 100% on my tx but still the brakes are not no way near what they should be

I've got a RS hooked up to a Novak Mongoose in my 1/18th scale and I can't ever get the brakes as sharp as I want them... it's a real shame, at Caldicot I found myself braking 2/3rds of the way down the straight just to slow down enough for the corner.

Turn the brake strength up on them Jon, they are only at lights 4+5 for standard setup. You can up them a lot without problems.

Thats the thing everything on mine is on max but still not very stron breaks

what have you got the neutral width set to?

if i said 10 would that be wrong, sorry not got my hotwire with me . 10 just rings a bell

Mine's set to 0 and my brake strength is set to 100, with brake end point at 150 on my transmitter :(

lol im so confused, guess ill just have to plough into the end of the straight if i want to stop quicker

your neutral width should be set to 1&2 LED's lit (8 on the hotwire)
Your Brake Strength should be 100

What are your exact settings, including motor timing.

okay give me a minute and ill go get everything

Make sure that all lights are flashing when you are on full brakes. If not the speedo is not going to full brakes even if you have the speedo set to 100%

ok well im running all the lights so thats okay

im running 7.25 gearing

break strength: 100
neutral width : 10
Throttle profile : 4
Push control : off
