Modified Tekin R1Pro

[GriffinRU]

Modified Tekin R1Pro in pictures:
parts for mods:

and final looks:



First unit was done for Mike.
Second under construction for Jeff (jhautz).
Third unit would be available for sale :)

Later built-in support for capacitor and cooling fins (if necessary) are coming with anodization and Logo's...
There is a plan to work together with Teamtekin and Mike (RC-Monster).

Griffin you never cease to amaze!

after the mod what are the ratings for the R1 pro

[lincpimp]

Interesting, any specific reason to have male connectors on the output wires instead of females? I am guessing that the micro deans is for an external bec.

[jhautz]

Good question on the male bullets... If that one is mine artur, I run females on the speedo and males on the motor. No biggie, I can change them myself, but in case you wanted to know.

linc.. I always use a micro deans on the BEC. Makes changing parts easier for testing different setups.

Looking forwardto getting my hands on that bad boy and putting it through its paces. It was a great speedo beofre the mods, I'm hoping this lets me run with no thermal concerns any more. I had alot of suces with the little esc in its stock form, but always felt like I didnt want to push it to hard because of its small size and lack of heatsink.


Wondering if leaving the solder posts uncovered would also allow them to disipate some heat like they did in ots stock form.

Male plugs - that is what Mike had, I prefer direct solder or females. But anything can be done upon request, even bare wires.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Ratings would come up later after testing’s, but 100A would be no problem, i.e. with new heatsinking dumping 6W won't be a big deal. Maybe even higher currents possible...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I do not like these long copper posts, heatsinking is not that efficient but shorting possibility quite high. I would rather solder wires directly to pcb...<o:p></o:p>

I want to make capacitor leads very short and solder UBEC leads to W.S.Dean connector instead of ESC posts, this way it would be much cleaner setup. But still good as alfa-unit :)

wow great mod!!!!clean and fit,looks like factory job!!!!this esc can handle 6cell lipo???and what is the maxx amp??

[Takedown]

Nice mod griffin! How much would you ask for one of these and what is the maximum safe voltage input allowed?

Thank You,
Price - TBD and via PM.
With current mod maximum Voltage 27V, higher TVS would clamp (short). Inside Fet's rated at 30V maximum.
Jim (TeamTekin) told me that software has no problems running higher than 4S. Although with current mod not more than 27V, which puts you to 5S.

[jhautz]

I was running a stock unit on 5s for quite a while with at 35v cap and no issues, so I definitely say the controller handles it with no problem.

What does this cost to do?

And man, if you anodized the alu case black, that would be one sick R1PRO, but that little thing is getting spendy, 210 for one, plus the mod, but worth it for something like a buggy

[Takedown]

Wow, hmmmmm... This would really be a nice ESC to have.

[TruckBasher]

Nice mod. I wonder if the one you put up for sale a few days back has the same mod. If so too bad I didnt bought it right away when we were talking....

Anodized balck now that's monster looking ESC

Tekin R1Pro, the one which I am selling at my thread, would be modded like this one by Sunday. And, yes, it is for sale.

[speed demon]

Impressive. How does this compare to your MM's you mod? Are these better? If so...in what way? Again impressive work.
