This series is amazing. I hope there will be more. It would be so nice to get a re-release Tamiya build or something around those lines. Tekin products are the best, I only use Tekin in my race cars.
Had my Tekin 411-p2 since 1993 in my RC10T. Loved Tekin products so much purchasing a Tekin RSX pro for either Traxxas Rustler 4x4 vxl or Tamiya CC-01.
Just ordered a Tekin RSX pro can’t wait till it gets here. 🙂 i got this esc along with Tekin Gen 4 spec T 13.5 turn for my Tamiya CC-01. Alittle much power should have got 17.5 but other then that best power system.
I like to put a small piece off red heat shrink on the positive battery lead before soldering the battery connector. Once that's soldered just warm the heat shrink onto the wire as close to the connector as you can get it. No issues cross connecting
Ah, I was wondering if there were any drawbacks to soldering the wires horizontally onto the posts vs. vertically, as is usually the case. I need to re-solder the motor leads on the RSX Pro I have installed in my TLR 5.0 DC Elite. The loop is slightly touching the body when I put it on, and even though I have a little slack, the light pressure is enough to want to lift the front of the ESC off the tape (it is one LOW-PROFILE body). At least with the horizontal joints, it will sit lower on the chassis. 😁 Nice episode! My Tekin count is up to 2 RSX Pros, an RS Spec, 2 Gen4 R-Specs (17.5, 13.5), a Gen3 R-Spec (17.5), and 3 T-180's! Oh, and a HotWire 3.0 to manage all the goodies, of course! #TeamTekin #DriveTLR
@@TekinRacing nice! I run dirt oval with my sc5 and I have Traxxas slash front offset and ae offset on different sides haha. As long as it works run it right haha
We have our own line of batteries now, I am running our Titanium 5600 Shorty pack now. We also have a Graphene HV 6300 Shorty, both of those would be great choices.
Great video as always , I was wondering if you would install the fan on the rsx pro paired with an 6.5t and driving hard at the track , would the esc become hot ?
I would run the fan if it's over 80F out just to keep things as cool as possible. Normally I don't run a fan and never really see over 3 LEDs on the temp indicator, which is about 160F.
This has nothing to do with the video. I have a 2wd slash that I would like to put my Tekin 4x4 sct 4600kv motor in , my slash is a on road basher. I have the RX8 esc new to. I run a Hobbywing 10.5 right now but want better top end speed plus it gets hot on 3s. So will the RX8 4ESC and 4x4 4600kv motor be better thyan what I have. I like your 5mm shaft. Plus I like 3s power.
🤦♂️ first I had to worry about kv rating on brushless motors now they have turn counts also.... Thought it was bad enough on brushed motors with turns and slots. This hobby keeps getting more complicated all the time 😂
This style of motor has been rated in turns for near two decades now though. 4-pole motors we tend to rate by KV rather than turns because they are all low turn motors usually between 1-5T.

Looking forward to wheeling this buggy !!
I'm looking forward to it too!

It's nice to see we have come this far, but still roll with an On/Off switch design from 50 years ago...
Haven't had many switch issues in the 15-ish years we've been using it. It is a nice double contact switch and works great.
Some racer's at the local track I race at cut the switch and solder the leads to the battery leads.
@@daletennett4812 solder the switch leads to the battery leads? I hope you mean solder the switch leads together?
@@TekinRacing yes sorry I mean together

No problem soldering them on horizontally, that is usually my preferred positioning if the car layout allows!
Great video
20mm crowbar clamping horn is not in the description.
Possibly looking at this for 1/10 truggy, is it possible to do basic programming with just the esc or do you need to hotwire?
Hello love your products,
but as you mentioned... why not work on reverse polarity protection It use to be so,
I’m sure it can be integrated
Short answer: It decreases performance.
Lundsdord motor mount screws 3x7 or 3x8mm ? Or will both work?
I love how you have tlr wheels on a tekno haha
They are the proper offset and I have lots of them around still!

What battery was that
We have our own line of batteries now, I am running our Titanium 5600 Shorty pack now. We also have a Graphene HV 6300 Shorty, both of those would be great choices.
@@TekinRacing thank you!
Why stuff always out of stock to support my local dealer?
We are doing our best to keep things shipping while battling all the supply issues.
why isn't the cap pre installed?
Nothing is soldered to our ESCs when new. The cap can be installed in a few different positions, so we leave that up to the user.
what would be a good esc for maxx
The tekin rx4 or rx8 would be better for your maxx this esc is too small and does not handle 4s batteries
Castle Creations XLX2 For the xmaxx
I love this car
I hit a RS Pro in my B5M :)
