Default Tekin RS hesitation / Spektrum problem?

Hello all,

Last night I used my new Tekin RS for the first time, the car was fast enough but the throttle response was inconsistent making the car very hard to drive. Sometimes there is a noticeable hesitation on acceleration, maybe ¼ second. This can also be seen on the bench, if I repeatedly accelerate smoothly the car will generally follow but occasionally it seems to miss part of the input and then start with a jolt.

There is also an oddity when I switch on, I get the chimes and the ESC settles down to show just LED 4 but then flashes to all LED’s lit and flashing about every two seconds and then back to LED 4 again and so on. The all LED’s lit and flashing pattern is the same as that for “no signal”. Other peoples Tekins seem to swap between LED 4 and LED 1 when the ESC is cold. If I connect my ESC to a friends Futaba system the ESC shows LED 4 then LED 1 as you would expect.

The ESC calibrates fine, throttle normal, everything set to 100% etc. I have tried the factory reset, made no difference.

Electrics Setup: Tekin RS (2.12), LRP X12 13.5, 5000mAh / 40c lipo, Spektrum DX6i with AR6200 receiver.

Car Setup: Xray T3, fdr 7.60

ESC Setup: Tried lots of settings, 2s, sensored.

Can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong as I’m really struggling to drive the car cleanly with the inconsistency?

Cheers, Nick
