Default Tekin ROC412 / Tekin RS esc

I was told I cant run this motor with a tekin rs. But if you read the box it says to use the RS line of esc's.. Really need input. Don't want to burn up a RS just to find out...

I would think if the rs will run a brush less motor than it could.

I've been running the 412 3100 / RS on 3S in my Twin Hammers for over 8 months now rock racing without a single issue, or even any heat issues. Hope that helps.

You can't run that motor and esc together in a go fast car that runs balls to the wall constantly. But in a crawler/basher it should be fine since you're not max throttle all the time.

Has anyone tried a pro4 4600kv with that esc. I want to get it but I'm scared of what will happen.

WHAT? I ran a 6.5t Novak ballistic on my B4.1 buggy and one in my short course truck, ON A PACKED CLAY OVAL..
Guess what, there were two throttle positions, 0% and WFO.. Never had a problem with either of my Tekin RS speed controllers.

Right now I have a Tekin RS that I am using with a 13.5 Tekin GEN I motor, in my scaler. Routine WFO blasts on 3s and it has never once thermalled or shut down.
And to add to that, its sealed in a box with NO AIR FLOW....

I's say there is no reason you can't run a ROC 412 on there..
The limit, according to the Tekin Owners manual is 5 turn 36mm can motors.
SO, if you look up a Tekin GEN II motor, 5.5 turn, is 7750 kv. Something tells me a 3100 kv ROC 412 will be no problem for this to handle.

And for that Pro4 4600 kv motor, Get a Tekin RS Pro or a RX8 or a Castle MMP.
That 4-pole motor might be a bit too much. Remember, that thing was designed for 4x4 short course racing.

TY@Tekin. Look him on here boys. He is in postings all over the place here or PM the guy.
Will help you with excatly what you need.

I disagree:



Running full throttle all the time, not even a hint of a problem even with 2.8 paddles

That combo powered me to the U4RC Rock Racing Series Championship in 1.9 comp class.

I am planning to use the exact same combo in a heavier 2.2 rig next series, that is how confident I am in this pair.

Check the link and take a look at the track we race on.

You can't run a 4 cell lipo on the RS. But other then that it ok. Ty said you make sure you run a higher C rated battery with the ROC412.

Yep, you shouldn't have any issues running the 412 with an RS. I have been in my 1.9's for over 3 years now. Granted it's been on 2S most of the time, but I ran 3S and ex-BEC for awhile and didn't have any issues then either. You should be fine!

Now in a Wraith or something heavy, I have seen them get warm and even thermal in some extreme conditions, but the weight of a loaded Wraith is to blame there. The RSX (our new ESC, almost ready to ship) will be perfect and handle anything you can throw at it.

If you drive for long periods of time and are throttle happy the ESC can get warm. If it's in a place with some airflow then they do just fine, but all closed up in a box they can thermal after awhile. The RSX will be perfect for these heavier rigs, I can't wait to swap my RX8 out and save some room!
