Team Tekin Products and Support Q&A

[TekinTeamMngr]

Hey guys,

Just found this cool boat site and wanted to offer up any help we at Team Tekin could offer.

We offer quite a few brushless esc's, motors, batteries and other products that boat users have been using with success.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

How about a quality boat esc to start with? water cooled and able to handle 75 amps or more

[Eyekandyboats]

75 amps is too little. i need a 200 amp plus esc in my boats
as well as something with water cooling and water proof/resistant.. and something more then 3s lipo.
other then that i used you 1/18th scale system in my Xray M18 pro and it was great.

I thought Id start with something a little less expensive and easier for Tekin to handle.

What do you offer for the boating world? Do you have a watercooled ESC? A 100amp plus, watercooled, 2-6s esc would be nice.

[Ub Hauled]

well Randy,
a couple of things that we (by we I mean I) would like to see is a line up of your motors and ESCs and their specs (including max watts and/or max amps) that you deem fit for the boating realm. Keep in mind that 98+% of the time we'll be running direct drive and it would be nice to have an ESC start at 80 or possibly 120 amps continuous, 2-4s lipo and water cooled, like it was mentioned a few times already.
Welcome aboard.

I like Tekin products very much and have some RC esc's that still function perfectly after 14years of use! 408 sport

I currently run an FXR in my brushed crawler and for drag brakes, smoothness and feel there is no better brushed crawling ESC on the market

That being said currently the R1 RS and the RebelII are the high end units with max lipo of 3s or 9 and 10 cells . They dont list max amps.....but the pro version of the R1and RS does not list a max motor wind limit either

Not wanting to state the obvious, but you sound as though you are a "competitor" of Steve here at OSE.

Did you check with him before you offered up your "help" as this would appear to take money from his buisness and this is his forum.

[TekinTeamMngr]

THanks for the welcome guys.

We certainly have esc's that can meet some of your power requirements. I do have some questions though before I make recomendations.

What motors do you use? Brushed(what turn) and Brushless?

What seems to be the biggest failure to an esc?

Doby: I didn't ask as I saw that he sells a lot of other products like Traxxas, Proboat,etc. I thought that this was a public forum. If I have made a mistake I would like to know with whom I can correct it with.

I dont think steve will have a problem with it but Id still give him the heads up:

his contact info on the forum.

many of us use brushed turn or so and brushless now. being able to handle a min of 75 amps continious and 22 Volt input would be a good start

i use many many motors. the best way to sell a esc is to make the esc based on usable ratings such as current draw and hertz range and voltage and timing.
on your website you specfiy that a esc is able to run a 36MM can.
that is not a good way of doing things for us.


we use to many motors to specify just one.
biggest failure is mostly user issue with people not knowing how to "link" a esc together with a proper setup.

Our brushed esc's can handle the current you guys are stating.

So essentially you guys can "overgear" your boat with the wrong prop pitch,etc. Ok that's easy enough.

Our escs will all go into a thermal overload shoud you be out of range. We also have onboard temp monitoring as well as custom voltage cut offs etc via our Hotwire USB interface.

Timing is also adjustable via the Hotwire. We can even run in Dual mode with a sensored start and seemlessly roll into sensorless for more control.

We can handle 4s and 5s when a seperate BEC is used. We're running our R1 Pro in 1/8 scal offroad with 4 and 5s using Neu motors.

I'll see if I can tackle an engineer and get some hard numbers for you guys soon. Thanks for the information!

If he's OK with you here than that will be a big positive for everyone here.

Its great to see Mfr. Reps surfing the forums offering assistance.

[TekinTeamMngr]

Thanks for the heads up. I posted on his profile.

[Eyekandyboats]

Cool.
is there a way to get amp ratings on any esc's you make.
I will buy one for testing, but i would like it know a amp rating.
