Thanks guys. Battery wasn't 100% charged and I used it a bit setting up the electronics. Plus then I haven't driven any RC in 18 years, so 10 minutes of basement laps couldn't be avoided
I set the tekin power flex off and amps to 5.00 and it peaked in 11 min. Then I lowered the a,ps to 3 and it went another 7 min. Just barely warm. Nice.
Once I get this thing all set up and running outside I'll update and let you all know how it went. Thank so much for all the help. It's nice to see my old B3 rolling again.
So far things have been working great. With the NiMh I njust leave the power flex off and charge at 5.0
I broke out an old NiCd and charged if on power flex at 3.2 Amps. I can't believe it worked well too. Sanyo 1700 scrc. Cool that these still even work.
Best part of all this is watching my daughter learn to drive an RC. So cool.
Hey Guys! I've been updating some cars lately and I have a question. Originally, I built my RC10 Tekin conversion without the active rear suspension. I did that because at the time, I didn't have any long rear hinge pins. Fast forward 15 years and...

I built my Tekin chassis back in 2007-08. I tried to get one of the Schumacher kits for the front for the longest time. Ended up selling the car and a kit came up for sale a month later. :roll:
I think this is the first Tekin conversion I've ever seen with a body. :lol: I still have to bend some wire to mount the wing. Overall, I think this came out pretty nice. The body didn't have to be trimmed too much off the normal lines.

carloco8, I never thought of looking at a difference in thickness, I'll take a look at that when I get home. Thanks for the heads up!
I just acquired a Tekin RS Pro to run 1/12th scale 1s, 17.5 class. This esc works fine when using 2s, senses, chimes everything works right away.
When hooked up to 1s on hotwire, there are no chimes when setting up radio and only led's 1 and 2, and...

Thanks again everyone for your help. I think after reading 200-300 posts on 1s powered RS Pro, I am finally getting the idea. Use the booster to power the entire receiver and use the cable from the esc into channel two (booster in aux powered from...
I just received one of these chargers with a Yr-4 I bought. Does anybody have a manual for it? Will it charge ni-mh?

Tekin used to be the work of Kevin Orton. The company was sold many years ago to the Campbells and are still producing VERY good products. You can still get a lot of info on the old items directly from them at
For Novak it´s not really difficult finding anything but are there any informations on Tekin timeline? There were quite a number of ESC and chargers also over time but even in manuals you don´t find a release date most times.
One ESC I would like...
