Where can I get my Tekin ESC re-wired? I received one in a lot and it has had all its wires cut off! Does Tekin do new wire kits?
It's red and has Team Tekin Pro-tempfet ESC written on it. I am on Teamtekin.com and looking up the model and have emailed them about there service options. I just wondered if this is something they offered.

Or, send it to me and I'll do it for you...

Well, yes I thought I could do it myself, I am just trying to sort out the cables and plugs and everything else and I'd like it to be the Tekin wires if possible, that's why I asked if Tekin did it. I'll see how it goes and maybe they'll be able to hook me up with a new set of wires and plugs.

Yep I have sent them an email I am just waiting for a reply. I just thought I'd ask here as I know Novak do wiring kits and I thought someone might have had it done and would say, oh, just get kit no.#8253832 or something that has all the wires you need.
Oh, just get kit no.#8253832 that has all the wires you need.
Even if the wires are snipped off at the case, there will still be remnants soldered to the board with the colors. From there you should be able to find info, either from Tekin or out on the web on Tekin wire color coding (i.e. green = hot, blue = not hot, purple = Teletubby ... )

Well I have got some replies from Tekin and a wiring kit is available so I think I'll get that. I was wondering though... I tried to get it working last night and I couldn't work out which were the on/off switch wires. It looks like this;
Last night I tried to turn it on and set it up, but I couldn't work out which were the on/off switch wires and the manual isn't to clear. Basically there is no on switch and just the wires. By the motor and battery wires there are two small red wires and on the other side by the receiver wire there are two black wires. What are each of these for and which are the on/off switch wires?
Anyone familiar with this model and know what everything is?

Thanks a lot for your info.
Hmmm. So, do any of these wires need to be kept separate to prevent shorting do you think? All have plain wire ends. Should I trim them back so there's no exposed wire? Can I just solder the switch wires together so it's always on? Or what would a vintage racer do?
I really need some working batteries to fully sort this thing out.
This is a question aimed at the performance fanatics who don't forget the devil's in the details. :twisted: What wiring do you use, from your power connector-to-ESC, and from ESC-to-motor? 16 gauge or 18 gauge? Copper or something else?

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what the era has to do with choosing the best gauge & kind of wire for performance.
Well, because anything today is using at least 12-gauge silicone wire. Really hard to even buy anything else R/C-oriented....
I know this is more of a scaler thing but its still electrical lol
Ok so i plan to wire up my 1.9 this weekend. Here is a diagram of what i think i need to do.Id like a second opinion on my plan. I also have a question on wiring up the LED...

why are there three wires? Does it use the brown for ground, and orange and red are both outputs?
You might actually want to use the ESC BEC for the receiver and speed controller, and use the UBEC for everything else.
Newbie question: what are these two black and red wires supposed to be connected to?
They come out of the receiver with the slot marked batt.
I presume that is short for battery so do I need to run another small battery
just to these two wires? Or...
O.K. I now have or am waiting on all of the parts to finish my RC10 build. My concern now is how I connect everything.
I have set the car up with a 6 cell 7.2V NIMH battery pack. I will also have a 2.4 Ghz radio transmitter and receiver. I have an...
I just bought an outright evil LRP VECTOR X11 3.5 turn (9800kv!!!) brushless motor and plan to run it with my Mamba Max ESC. :twisted:
Just need some help with the wiring...

Must have been too tired,last night...I got the wiring wrong and the sucker only ran in reverse,so if anyone else wants to do this,the REAL deal is:
ESC red to motor blue.
ESC black to motor orange.
ESC white to motor yellow.
So, I'm ready to finish up my wiring on my 5link, and need some help with my novak T4, and motor wiring. Where I have the speedo mounted makes things a bit difficult, but i know iv seen them mounted here before. See picture:
1) The motor wires...

i would be re-wiring the lead coming from the esc, soldering new wire into the circuit board can be tricky if your new to it. its easy to cut the wire with some extra length with in the orange case, slip some very fine heatshrink over the ends and...
Anyone know why there would be a schottky diode on the power side of my Rx? Is it just an interference thing? I am curious if it is somehow a voltage thing, because I am not sure if I can throw 7.2v directly at the FP-R2H Rx. I haven't been able to...

I used voltage regulators just like that back in the day , I'd give it a heat sink of some sort if you can even if it's just cable tied to a chassis rail etc , I learnt about them when the Schottky diode on my Hotshot blew and Basic Electronics our...
