The RCNetwork - Tekin RS Pro ESC Unboxing

Here's a look at the Tekin RS Pro Electronic Speed Control. This is intended for my Team Associated B44.2, 1/10th scale 4wd buggy. All in all a great ESC, but a bit pricey. Here's where I got it:

Thanks! I should have the update vid for the B44.2 tomorrow and you can see it all mounted/soldered

[RCPhotosVideos]

Good Job, thanks for showing alot of the features that come with the esc

[TheRCNetwork]

The RS (gen 1 or 2) is only rated for a 2wd vehicle. The RS Gen 1 was rated to a 7.5t motor and the gen 2 to an 8.5t motor. I'm sure they beefed up the electronics from gen 1 to 2 as well.

[TheRCNetwork]

The RS is available in a Gen 2, but does have a limit of 8.5t

[TheRCNetwork]

Yep, without a problem. The RS Pro is rated down to a 2.5t motor. The RS Gen 2 can only handle an 8.5t, I believe, and not 4wd

[TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I'm not sure why the Gen 2 RS and RS Pro weren't released together. Maybe some technical difficulties!

[TheRCNetwork]

You shouldn't need the gen 2, really you're just getting some bonus items with the gen 2 like data logging and the fan outlet that doubles as the hotwire outlet. I run the rs pro/gen2 7.5t in my b44.2 and it's a rocket! As long as you can handle the power of the 6.5t in the 2wd and not lose traction you're golden!

Btw the gen2 says that it has a brushless limit of 8.5T motors and it can't candle a 2.5T

[TheRCNetwork]

If you want to run a 2.5t, you are pretty much limited to the RS Pro from Tekin (although, I'm sure there are other brands that can support)

[TheRCNetwork]

There isn't a Gen 2 version of the RS Pro, yet

[TheRcworld]

Ok thank you I read both of your reply's on both vids and i'm gonna run a rs pro get the hot wire and get the redline gen2 6.5t..will the gen 2 redline run good with the gen1 rs pro or do I need the rs and yes the motor is overkill for a 2wd but I drove lhs racer's b4.2 with a trackstar 6.5 from hobbywing with a tekin rs pro and he was running like 83% motor and was totally

[TheRcworld]

can we run a rs pro gen one with a gen 2 6.5t motor

[RCForcesSK]

Yeah thats weird maybe is rs gen 2 better than pro idk
