tekin r1mt

[Serum]

My MM conbtroller works flawless with a 6pole inrunner too.

i know a mamba max works with a plettenberg but not too well with a neu.
i hope the r1's run well with a neu.

Is anyone considering getting one of the R1Pros and experiment on a Revo/1/8th scale? *hint hint*

Specs as written make it comparable to the Q125 (5S, 120A) but priced between it and the MM.

I thinking (hoping) this may work out as a "Super-MM" until the MTs or MMMs come out. If it can run Neus smoothly, they may have a real winner.

If you are considering running the R1 Pro, I'd suggest that you give the guys at Tekin a call. They were pretty forthcoming with the information. I called them because I was thinking the same thing when I read the specs on the R1 Pro. I was told that those specs in the manual were going to be revised.

I'll surely, God's willing, use the R1 PRO in my touring car, but not in a MT.

'Fraid I'm cashed out ATM, but I'd like someone else to try it. :)

Which way are they revising the specs? Got the impression that the Pro is going to be one stout little ESC.

Finnster, that was the impression that I got. I actually went to my LHS and put two of them on order, just because of the specs published in the manual. Afterwards, I called Tekin to ask them some questions and the short of it was that the R1Pro doesn't live up to the specs and that they would be revising the specs before the release of the ESC. I cancelled my order.

I'm not saying that what they acutally release won't be all that we are hoping for. All I am saying is that Tekin told me that the R1Pro, as it is now, will not do what I want it too. It won't take 125A constant and it won't take 5S lipo. I don't know what form they are shooting for as a release candidate.

I have to admit that when I called them it kind of threw me off when the guy told me that the R1Pro wouldn't do for me. I didn't ask some of the specific questions that I should have. Maybe someone else should give them a call and see what they say.

i was kinda wanting a r1pro for my truggy.
but if it doesnt do the 200amps they said first and 4~5s lipo i wont be buying it. i'll hang on a while to see how they really end up being.
if not as good spec as a quark monster pro, i will get the quark.

so the r1pro does 120amps and 5s lipo?

No. The R1Pro is rated and covered under warranty up to 3s, anything above that needs a rx pack as the BEC won't handle it.

I think he meant with the BEC disabled...

And welcome to the forums!

Hi Ty - Welcome aboard. Are you a Tekin rep/employee? It'll be nice to have you around if you decide to hang with us.

Welcome to the forums.

Most of us here are aware of the voltage limitations of internal becs and run external becs or battery packs. Our largest area of interest with regard to the new R1 Pro is it's ability to run on higher voltage (5S or 6S lipo) and handle current (up to or over 125A).

My initial plan for the R1 Pro was going to be to put it into an 1/8th scale truck. I understand that this would be running the esc out of spec and wouldn't be covered by warranty. Warranty issues aside, what is the R1 Pro capable of in real world applications? What is the actual current limit? What is the actual voltage limit?

My questions exactly. If you can answer them as best you could, that would be awesome.

I know this is off topic but could the way the neu motor is wired be the problem for the MM? I mean i see a lot of half winds being used, sorry i can'i remember the configurings. I was thinking that since novak has the half winds and MM can't do them too well either, I was thinking that could be where the problem lies. I have not seen anyone run a whole wind yetand was wondering if someone has ( if they did and got the same problem, I'll stand corrected)
