Default Tekin RS hesitation / Spektrum problem?

Likewise it has been spot on for me with both AR500 and AR6200 receivers in both touring car and buggy, and with GTB and LRP SXX Stock Spec ESC’s. It is only the Tekin that is a problem.

Mikey, could you describe the “glitching” I would describe my problem as hesitation, a delayed response to input rather than glitching where the car see’s input that you haven’t made but we may just be using different words?

Adding a power cap can help smooth out any current spikes but I don't think this is your issue.

Try a different channel on the other stick, it may be something going on to that side of the radio.


Randy, I can try another channel but the symptoms were identical on both throttle and rudder channels. I’m starting to wonder if the problem is actually with the ESC and somehow exacerbated by the Spektrum set.

You say you sample faster than the GTB but the response I see with even the old 27MHz set is much worse, assuming you think my throttle blip “response test” is valid. I can’t think of a better way of quantifying the problem without hooking it all up to an oscilloscope and I don’t have easy access to one of those.

The 27MHz set is better than the Spektrum but still not good. The GTB and LRP SXX Stock Spec both show an instantaneous response and the wheels accelerate smoothly to a good speed even with the shortest blip I can manage with no discernable variation between starts. The RS varies between something close to the others to either just a sharp jolt at the wheels or no response at all with the Spektrum and a good start to a sharp jolt with the 27MHz set.

Since my last post I have repeated all of the tests previously discussed. I have re-applied the V2.12 software and tested on the default dual mode settings as well as sensored only setups. I have also tried the RS with a different motor (Novak SS 13.5) but that behaves just the same.

As I said I can try another channel on the Spektrum but I don’t believe it will be any different. Other than that I’m out of ideas, I have now put the LRP back in the car for this week and think that unless you can suggest something else I’m stuck with either buying new radio gear or not being able to use the RS. To me that’s a rock and a hard place as a new radio is going to be expensive and without the RS I’m at a speed disadvantage compared to my rivals.
