It is very disapointing to receive a set (with the hotwire link) in beta stage. (My CD included with the hotwire link was EMPTY !). I had to download the Hotwire program from the Tekin homepage ! Everytime I start the program an error message pops up that this version (the newest) probably won´t work with the esc and some values were out of range ... very strange !

Now I have a brand new set which doesn´t work and I have to pay a high amount to send it back to the USA . (I am from germany)

What can I do ?

Can this error be fixed with a firmware update ?

click on the "view versions" tab in the hotwire, and "update esc" this will reflash the firmwire on the esc....

it should fix the problem

Tekin is working on the problems they say on the rc-tech forum
There are some problems with the soldering they told.....
Hopefully my spare ESC is holding up this weekend so i can finish my race here in Holland.
My brand new "spare" worked for 8 minutes before it stopped working. I fixed it my self
problem was, when I twisted the case than it stopped working. I put some extra doubble sided tape inside, and problem solved
next time: Race Report

Fine ... so this is a hardware issue . So I have to send the ESC back to Tekin. This is very bad for european customers. Could you send me the link to the RC-Forum ?

Afgelopen weekend in purmerend gereden, daarvoor Belgish kampioenschap...
Kijk op www.no-nitro.nl voor de info over races. Deze site is nog in ontwikkeling maar het begint ergens op te lijken. De Races beginnen nu langzaam opgang te komen.
