| tekin hotwire extension cable
new and learning to this sport- I have a tekin rsx in my crawler- it is pack in there pretty tight and the port for my new hotwire programmer is in a spot not assessable with out moving things that are zip tire and so fourth. if I had a 2" or more extension cable I would not have to move anything. so I thought I would just jump on the net and find one pretty easy- 2 hours later-and nothing that makes sense to me so far... I think I learned that on the rsx the batt/date plug port is the same as rest of plugs in on receiver!? the hot wire plug has 3 wires. can anybody steer me in the right direction?

Why not cut the end of the lead off and solder in an extension? Is the end a servo plug? if so you could just use a servo extension. |

I'm not quite sure either, it looks similar to a servo plug but shorter. What version of the hotwire is it? looks like there's 3 versions.

Well I cant seem to figure out what plug that is and it really doesnt look like its something you can buy pre-made (for the hotwire specifically). Back to my original suggestion, Why not solder in a extension? do you have the tools to do so? Or check and see if a servo plug can work in the data port that the hotwire plugs into, if it does a servo extension should work. Or try contacting Tekin and asking them.

| Re: tekin hotwire extension cable Yes- alittle more specific the fan/data port on esc(it might be the same as rest of the plugs on esc- I just don't know that part).. But yes - a 2 TO 4" extension would solve a ton of hassle.. thanks for your reply.

the fan connector is smaller than a normal plug than a receiver would take. | |

Most of my previously posted issues were caused by a bad battery. I am still having problems with my front dig however. The dig is mapped to DT3, when I throw front dig: the signal on the TLMTRY goes higher. (Rear dig, and normal work fine) My receiver channels: RX CH1: Front Steer; RX CH2: Front Motor; RX CH3: Rear Steer; RX CH4: Rear Motor I am using a Futaba T4grs. My Dual ESC settings are: Mode: Act; Rate 100; MXMD: on; trim: off. Prog Mix is: Mode: on; Fwrd: +100; Brak: +100; Mst: THR; Slv: CH4; MXMD: On; Trim: off. Anybody have ideas on how to get the front dig to not turn the back wheels? |
