Ok, so what your saying is that if you plug your Tekin into somebody elses car it appears to perform as normal ?? If this is the case it must be something local in your car. Have you tried different motor & Sensor wire ?? Different receiver ?? Its going to be a matter of trying things one by one im afraid.

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
