RX8 Dual Mode Boost Settings
Tekin T8 motors are 4-pole, 12-slot motors with very low turns that need very little timing at
higher RPM. The maximum timing in Dual Mode is 30deg, displayed in the HotWire as Timing
Advance, with a range of 0% to 100%. The T8 motors are only able to efficiently use about 30% to
50% Timing Advance (10 to 15deg). Settings higher than 50% on Timing Advance is appropriate
for standard 1/10 scale motors, for Tekin's SC4x SCT motors, and for the long-can motors that some
sell as 1/8 scale motors.
While Timing Advance in a 1/10 scale motor can more than double the kV of a motor, the
T8 motors only increase kV around 10%, after which the extra energy is wasted in the form of heat.
Run times decrease when too much timing is applied.
The user can select from 5 preset Timing Profiles on the RS, RSpro and RX8 without a HotWire:
TP1 10% Dual Mode Timing Advance,
TP2 27% Dual Mode Timing Advance,
TP3 45% Dual Mode Timing Advance,
TP4 63% Dual Mode Timing Advance,
TP5 80% Dual Mode Timing Advance
C1 Custom settings using Hotwire
C2 Custom settings using Hotwire
Custom 1 and Custom 2 (C1 and C2) are user-savable Timing Profiles created in the HotWire
and selected via the RX8's on-board interface. This will allow the user to have specific Timing
Advance values or different RPM ranges, that are then available on the unit with just a few button
pushes.
