Team Tekin Q&A

[Randy p]

For a 6.5 that seems undergeared for a 2wd car. I'd expect something more like 78/22.

Well it's ok for a bonded magnet. Slightly low but it's a rather short track. I mailed Tekin and they told me to reduce timing to 15. Now it's working fine.

Guys,

New to this thread, just wondering, if I purchased an RS Pro and 5.5 redline sensored motor, do I needany aftermarket parts to run it safely? THinkin in temrs of extra Caps, if it needs a fan etc?

[DCM]

as long as you either get the hotwire and update it, or know someone with a hotwire, and update it, there is no need for extra caps or a fan, although it may be worth getting a spare cap, just in case.

[HarlowS]

You dont need fans on them but a few of us are running one infront of the posts, especially on a hot day on high grip/grass tracks etc.. Just helps to keep things a bit cooler. Failing that just point the solder posts towards the air vents on the bodyshell and job done. Never had a cap go on me but i guess it would never hurt to have one spare.

[DaveG28]

What happens when they overheat, do they permanently die or just switch off until cool?

Doubt I'd fit a fan near the solder posts, and also wouldn't be able to get them near an air hole!

[DCM]

they shut down.

i have a tekin r1 pro, but the case is damaged a bit now, can i get replacements for this? if so where from??

[DCM]

not to sure if MuchMore has any, but you may be better emailing Tekin direct.

[Randy p]

You can get cases from us. $7 plus shipping.

[micksid]

how much would shipping be to Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England?

and do you get the two little butttons with it and decals?

cheers

95p shipping. You just get the case top and bottom with decal and the four screws.

[DaveG28]

So how many of you are running 4wd off road this summer and getting away with no fan etc, say running 5.5 motor?

[DCM]

I ran it yesterday, 5.5, and my fan is there to remind me the lipo is plugged in, it does no cooling, and I am lucky to see 3-4 temp LED's on.

Hi Randy,

What RX8 + T8 combo would you recomend for an E-Revo?

Cheers,
Chris.

[Randy p]

On 4s most are using the 2000kv truggy system.
