What does the Hotwire do?

[JAILBIRD]

I just ordered an RX8 combo and the Hotwire interface. What does the Hotwire interface gain me? Is it worth haveing (like the Castle Link) or did I just throw away $30?

You can mess around with timing.

it's like a tyre warmer for your wires. by preheating your wires it can help flow more current and hence have a more efficient system...





Just kidding... it's a PC interface for your Tekin ESC. it gives you more tuning options than whats offered out of the box.
eg: Timing, Custom LVC, Reverse and Brake strength, plus many more..
Worth the $50 I reckon, but it should be included in the kit like Castle's Castlelink.
