thats a pretty awesome report, how does that 1512 3d run on 5s, what were the temps on it only geared for 38mph? im running a 10xl and im having temp problems in the long mains.

jhautz · 07.20.2008, 11:21 PM

the 1512/3D was 161 at the end of the main. 38mph is plenty of speed for all but the biggest tracks. More just wastes battery IMO

Nice review, sounds like you had plenty of fun. Not bad temps since it was a 3S ESC and you were running 5S

rootar · 07.20.2008, 11:36 PM

yea i was geared for 43 on the 10xl but the temps got hotter when i geared down to 38 We have (2) 125' straights one on the back side with two WOT jumps and then the front stretch.

Nice mounting plate....good to hear R1Pro is proving it self even on 5S....

Just to back JHautz up, that little Tekin bugger worked very well all day. We took temps pretty religiously all day and the temps he is reporting were on point. As a comparison, I was running a MMM with No Fan and the top of the case cut off with plenty of air flow into the body. Neu 1512 2.5d with a 4s 5000 running 20/46 (about 39 mph tops). I was getting temps up to 160-170 pretty consistently through the qualifiers and practice. After the 15 minute main I pulled the car off the track and the MMM was 195 degrees.

Very impressed with how that Tekin performed.

This thread should really be moved to the Tekin forum so it can be found. If a mod gets a chance and agrees that would be great...

O yea... Almost forgot. Another thing I noticed was the new aluminum case on the modified R1Pro was almost the same temp as the solder posts within a few degrees. The solder posts used to be the hot spot on the esc when measuring temps so the heat sinking job you did on this thing is really working well Artur.

So, is this controller more 5s capable than a MM? I have had great success on 4s with the MM, but have considered going 5s on my buggy (not sure I want to try it with MM, older one with fan).

Well mike's mod'ed one gave out smoke at the weekend on 5s...

The older MM are more likely to take 5s - I know jeff runs them on 5S and I now run my Truggy on 5s since the MMM died.

I'm actually debating if I'll bother to swap back...

jhautz · 05:51 PM

Wait..... I'm confused. Mikes moded MM or moded R1Pro gave out the smoke. He has the only other GriffinRU R1Pro that I know of and I would really be disapointed to hear it died on him. I think you are talking about the MM though.

My experience with the R1Pro is even in stock form 5s is no issue for it as long as you have a proper 35V capacitor installed. So IMO yes it is more 5s capable than the MM The MM is hit or miss on running 5s. I have one MM that works perfectly on 5s with the LVC and everything, one MM that will run 5s with the LVC as long as the 5s pack is only charged to 4.15v/cell rather than 4.2v/cell, and one MM that wont boot on anything over 4s at all, period.

I believe Arct1k is referring to Mike running a modded mamba max(and frying it Sunday on 5s) not a modded R1pro. Last time I saw Mike(not Sunday, I sadly missed going to the Barn with them), he was running a modded mamba max(on 5s) in his 8t.

Bye

Sounds like hit or miss with them too as well as the MM.

Any mods to your MM on 5s (or jeffs')? All I have so far is a fan (older MM), runs real cool on 4s though.

No mods on any of my MMs. Just a 25mm fan and an external BEC. They are all older ones though. I dont have any of the newer versions.
