Yeah our R1 Pro and RS Pro can do 4s and 5s when a seperate BEC is used. The FX Pro can do 4s again with a seperate BEC.

Im giving this a shot.

Im going to rebuild my BJ26 using fan cooling and water cooling on the FX PRO I just bought, with 14 cell 4500 nimh. I will use a seperate UBEC with ammo 2300 and what prop should I use? What kinda warranty will I get if it poofs?

Rockwerks,
that is a great thing for you to do... braking the ice of the Tekin people...
thanks for doing that.... keep us posted.

Hey,

I'm not too worried about the 14 cells. As long as you use the seperate BEC you should be fine. Worse case scenario I would expect it to overheat if you ran it for awhile and the fan was insufficient.

The esc should thermal and shut down. It shouldn't go poof. Keep me updated as to what you find and if there is a problem, shoot me an email.

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!

Hi Randy,
I do not know how I have missed this thread for so long but a belated welcome to you. Great to see manufacturers offer up help and listen to what we say so we can end up with better products and better service.
I wonder if you have looked at and tested the range of esc's that Castle Creations produce for FE boats. If you can come up with a better product and we can get some healthy competition going between you and Castle, then us boaters will be the winners.
I know from reading on another forum that you are going to go out to watch what we put our esc's through at the pond and I commend you for that. At present we have to spend big money to get a controller that can actually be used as a speed controller. Most of us have to use them more like an on/off switch because they soon heat up at intermediate speeds.
Thanks for coming and talking with the FE boating community.

How did it turn out man? We are all curious here!

not running yet, found some issues with the hull that need repair

I just hope that you're not the very rude Tekin Rep that I met years ago in Chicago at the RCHTA show (now iHobby). That guy was a total jerk. I first ran into him while waiting in line to get something to eat and he had the audacity to cut in line like he was someone special. I then tried to talk to him later about a top-of-the-line ESC that I had bought which was giving me problems and he didn't want to hear about. I've probably still got that piece of junk sitting downstairs somewhere.

As long as this thread has stayed here I'm guessing that Steve has allowed it.

So guys, any reports on the use of the Tekin ESCs on boats?


Randy, how is that 1/8th ESC coming along?!
Don't forget to make the water cooling plates!

I tell ya what though back in the day they made an awesome watercooled esc that handled 3 brushed motors on 12 cells. I hope they can bring it back with new brushless technology.

Team Tekin, A little tribute...little O/T but Back in the day we all had pretty hot buggies. I had the fastest. You had a speed contol out that was more expensive then most others but someone wisperd in my ear.. this one...shhhh.. being the way I am I took it.. my car blew away most any buggies it encountered. Your esc it was black and gold if I remeber right with NO reverse. it was one of my major secrets. Thanks...hehhe
