Hot wire
 

Hi, i am having grreat problems getting this thing to work,no matter what i do, downloading from tekins site or the installation cd,i cannot get this to work,all i get is a screen on the pc with 'stage 1,plug hotwire to esc' and 'stage 2,plug usb to esc',nothing else,no drivers nothing.My os is windows xp media,32bit system running service pack 2,is there anyone out there can help at all,have tried Tekin,all they could say is 'is it plugged in correctly',yes it is,any help would be gratefully received.

No one?

Try uninstalling it completely, then go to the program files and make sure it is completely wiped from the system, then do a fresh install from the Tekin website... You never know?

Failing that, it must just be your PC Roger...

You must download the 198 software from our site to use the Hotwire on the RX8. Make sure you're running that version.

But is that not included in the v3.25 download on your web site,thats the version i am downloading,if it is not on there,how do you download the 198 software?

It is in the V3.25 download, 198 is the specific ESC firmware for the RX8. The RX8 must be of this firmware version, see if it wants to update next time you try it.

Morning Marv,blimey you're up early,took the Truggy out yesterday on a full pack,got 26mins run time on the Hyperion 6500,know its not racing conditions,but not un-happy with that time,think it could still be inproved slightly,going to try a smaller pinion when they arrive from the states.:mdr:

I was up before 8 this morning! Hopefully we can get 20 minutes out of it on the track, we'll have to see, the smaller pinion will help, as will punch control and timing reduction. (Though the Hotwire needs to be working for that...)

What,you mean this Hotwire,that i cannot get to work,oh well!:na:

We'll have to stick it on the computer here, not sure why one copy of XP 32 would accept it and another would not.
