good news:
A local racer, with plenty of talent, asked me some time ag, if I did not had some advice for him. He was looking for a low-cost ESC ... but with rather good specs for his stockracing.
I explained him about Tekin and a long story in short, he bought himself an RS Pro ... and recently bought a second one
He was positivly amazed, as was I, about the performance that the 203-version of the soft was delivering.

In the mean while, His performances .. and that of my car, have amazed more then one pilot.
Only today I overheared more then One driver saying they defenitly needed a Tekin-ESC too, for their 17.5 and 10.5-class touring racing.

I have responded to a lot of questions, showed the ESC, the setup-buttons, the Hotwire, the software on my laptop ... and it really has made a difference.


Actually, as we speak, my two RS Pro's are installed in two Tamiya TA05IFS v2-cars that me and two friends will be racing in an endurance race:
8 hour's of non-stop driving, all cars free, EFRA-body, Limited tyres-choice and obligatory Nosram 17.5-brushless motor.

We did some testing today (that's where we were astonishing the other teams ) ... and the car went well. WIth a little fan on the motor, we had a temp of 45°C on the motor and 38°C on the ESC.

Now my question:
we drive a Tamiya TA05-car, Tekin RS Pro, Nosram 17.5 -motor, ratio of 4,5, on a rather small, bendy carpet-track, medium grip and with a One-way in stead of our usual spool because of the bendyness of the track and the fact that we don't need to use the breaks.

Could someone give advice on the setup of our ESC, so that we get an optimal ratio on speed / driving-time / less heat on the ESC.

ATM I have it on throttle Profile 3, voltage cutoff 2, sensored, delay 0.2, boost timing 45 and turbo boost 8 ...
if you want efficiency I would turn the boost down a bit and turn the Turbo up, run the End RPM about 4500 and the start at 1500 which will make it nice and smooth (drop the end RPM to liven it up).

But your about in the ball park. Also, run the front belt slightly looser than the rear on the TA05.
