Team Tekin's New 8IGHTs!

[captain harlock]

What do you mean by just Mike?

He listed that because tekin has one conversion kit from mike and one from dan at rc product designs.

And Tekin actually has components from both Mike at RC Monster and from RC Prodcut Designs in both vehicles. They mixed and matched our components to get the configuration they needed.

Yes we have both conversion kits interchanged in the two cars to get the right setup.

Sorry Dan! I totally spaced that I had both kits when I posted this thread, my bad man!

It's cool Ty.
I am just yanking your chain!!!
Mike and I are working together to promote and support this new area of the hobby. It is very exciting and I am glad to be a part of it and I am sure he is too.

How is the progress coming along on the ESC ?.

[glassdoctor]

It is Mike's forum though ;)

[gixxer]

thats great news. one guestion though. how many cells is this esc going to be rated for? I know that its been run on 4s but will it handle 5s or 6s?

thanks

[teamtekin]

We expect 5s. 6s is pushing the edges of the specs, but these are very impressive fets that have been performing extremely well under extreme conditions. We won't really know until we test it in the final configuration. It works on the bench, but we have not hammered it in a car. The higher voltage with the lower kv motors has a pretty good chance unless we are really trying to go a lot faster and not just getting there with a different combination.

We really hope racing settles out with 4s. When you look at car handling and race lengths and 4s 5000mah to 6000 looks pretty good.

Will this ESC be able to run NEU & other 4 pole motors ?. Thank's

Is ther any idea of aprice range ?. thank's

one of there earlier post says they are running a 1515 1y on 4s. so a neu shouldn't be a problem.

My bad i did'nt see that eailer . thank's

Has anyone heard of a ( BALLPARK) price range yet ?. Thank's

[gixxer]

thanks for the update. currently i run 5s with a 1577kv motor. I am not really looking to go faster, but would prefer to do it with a higher voltage setup. maybe something like 6s on a 1400kv motor.

[Sower]

Yeah, I hear you - the higher voltage setups with the lower KV are very nice. Although I have to say I love my 4S setup in my CRT. It just works awesome.

On a side note, I've seen the Tekin guys running these prototypes at our local track a few times and they're not blowing smoke. Their setups are flat out running flawlessly. Too bad I just bought a new MGM

I'm really glad to see things coming along. I have long been awaiting this controller. I do, however, have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed that 6S may be beyond its limits.
