Kaetwo's Tekin FX-R Review...

[EeePee]

can i use standard tamiya plug for the battery or did i must use dean plugs ?

Yes you can use the Tamiya plugs.

and is it necessary to put the "condensator" with the battery wire or is it an "option" you put on ?

It's a capacitor, and yes it is necessary.

Yes you can use a standard Tamiya plug for your battery connection. This should work without a problem.

The Power Cap is necissary and will need to be put into place before you use the ESC.

the 6x6 will have tamiya mfu too with motor sound and lights for more scale details :lol:

With a single servo setup, like yours, an external BEC is not required.
And since you are running a 2 cell lipo, that will help keep temps down on the FX-R's internal BEC.

thanks man,
know nuts about all this stuff..

Cheers

Thread's been quiet for a while now, but I had to add that I'm running an FXR in my new 2.2 Warthog and it freakin rocks! I'll never buy another orange box again, and the one in my Super will be replaced next season with an FXR.

 

[kaetwo]

Excellent!!!!

I've got one in every rig that I own now ;-) It's taken me a while but it's totally worth it.

How do yall have your FXR set-up on the program buttons?

 

[kaetwo]

You mean the ESC program settings?

I'm running without the Hot Wire...for me, I don't need to tweak it that infinately, the direct selectable modes are perfect for my rig and driving style.

I'm at about 80% drag barke, Lipo cut off, and instant reverse.

It was just a tick quirky at first to set up, but if you're not trying to do so at 3:00 AM the day before a meet, you should have no trouble ;-)

You won't be dissapointed "thumbsup" This is my first Tekin product, but most definately not my last.

I am running LED5 on number 2 setting.

2 of our team crawler drivers should be testing the FxR with beefed BEC this week. We will see how it works.

It should not increase the price of the FxR very much. It does require that we put it in a FxRpro case so we have the extra room. We will also make some software changes specific to what the crawler need like better resolution on the drag brake adjustments and low throttle... and a new cool sticker that says Crawler on it

Do we need to also consider making an RTR version with wires soldered on to the pcb no solder posts and cap preinstalled?

Tekin Prez

wow now that is support, just reading these 9 pages and then reading this as you are willing to consider others oppinions to resolve some minor quarks is great . i was considering getting 2 of the pro versions for the berg with the 55t combos or can i use 1 combo and a extra motor in parallel or is that too much draw for it using a sub c 6 cell 4200 pack.

Brilliant! That is true dedication to the customer.

I think you'd fair well if you offered both a pre-soldered model, and a model with the posts. I've had a lot of my crawling buddies comment on the compact case and performance of the FX-R after seeing/running my Warthog, but some of them are still not comfortable soldering up a speedo.

I'll be on the lookout for the beefed up BEC version. My Super needs to lose an orange bird!

I was not paying enough attention when this review came out. I read it, but I did not realize how small this thing is. I got it today in the mail, held it up next to the Mamba Max, and said to myself "you are going to need more of these". Now I see a crawler specific coming. Excellent.

Tekin is without a doubt one of the best in the industry when it comes to customer service and support.

On a side note, our factory Reign RC Driver Just Zach won 2.2 Nats with a Tekin FX-R "thumbsup"

I couldn't agree more. There some of the nicest people that you'll meet and the service and support is amazing!

I love all 1,239 FX-R's that I own :lol:

 

[bigflex]

I love the ONE that I have and am looking forward to replacing all my other esc's with these in the future. This has got to be the best brushed esc out."thumbsup"
