Tekin RS Pro & 6.5 Redline

[Holeshot]

I think I remember reading when the DEX410 1st came out the racers were having trouble with the Tekin RS ESC's in the buggys overheating. Is this correct? I already have a new RS Pro & Redline 6.5 sitting in the cupboard and was wanting to run it if I get the DEX410.

Thats exactly what im running and have had no issues at all

The software now is much better than 9 months ago!

This is what I run as well. I've installed a fan in there to help out the airflow and I've not had any issues.

I have the same combination, but not heat problem at the moment, because it is so cold outside....
I hope that i don't need a fan

Same set up I have in my Durango.

V212 software
Default start and end rpm
80% limiter
Throttle profile 3

23T pinion

I do have a fan blowing at the solder posts but could possibly do without it.

Right-o, thanks for your help. DEX is in the mail and should hopefully arrive next week. Just ordered the hotwire aswell as some flightpower lipos. Do most run around a 21t pinion with a 6.5r?

Yeah, that is also my choice

I dont know if i posted in the corect thread but Mod, if you think this posting is incorrectly posted please move it to the appropriate thread.

here it goes,

i have a RS Pro 8.5T (not tekin 8.5T), 19T pinion, and a 5200 MAH 45C IP Lipo Batt. Settings is similar to the above via Hotwire 212 software.

my question, when i run my 410 (Just bashing) around 5-7 minutes runing, i noticed that my battery is a bit warm as compared before (when i was still using a different battery on a different car (B44). its not hot but its a bit warm, unlike when i was using my Venom 6000Mah 30C on a B44, same setup but the battery seldoms get warm. and like im running 30-45 run time.

is it me or there is something wrong with my settings. I have a fan sandwich in beetween the motor and poles, the ESC is not running hot but only the Motor (tolerance range). Im just a bit worried that my batt might end up having a short life span if i continue this.

my motor is just a HW 8.5T. Already geared down from a 21T to 19T pinion but the temp still the same. I dont have a temp gun but the temp is like holding a good old day Nicad right after ever run. And im not used to that.

Or may be i just squeze out the juice while bashing as compared to running it on track? i will try to Run the car this weekend and check.

any ideas are welcome.

thanks in advance.

Pinion sounds a bit small. If 21-23 is what many are using for a 6.5 motor, you should be using 23 as a minimum for an 8.5.
