Hey guys wanted to start a thread for tekin on hobby talk we have started to assemble a great team out here with the likes of phil maribela myself and mike obrien and alot of the rip motorsports guys like bill ozborne himself fell free to come in and talk !


www.teamtekin.com :thumbsup:

Team Tekin is getting stronger! I am proud to be apart of the team too!

I am looking into buying a new speed controller, I have my eye on the g11pro and found it as low as 129 bucks while the others are pushing 150, I am not so much as worried about the price but I realy want the best speed controller right now, what can you tell me that would make up my mind? spec wise,use durabilty, how has it been in the racing seen on a weekly bassis? have they blown up -not including misuse from users. thanks in advance.

make sure you get the g11pro, and not the g11, The only problem i have seen and heard of, is the BEC getting hot, This is mostly because of Digital servos, i have not seen this happen in cars that are not running the digital servo.

If you have a digital servo, the problem you will run into is the car will just Shut off then start going agian, this is due to the heat in the BEC because of the servo pulling to many amps, There are 2 easy fix's

1: Run a reciever pack to your servo,
2: Use the little red wire running out of the Speed control, ( this wire will eliminate the BEC and run your servo directly off the battery) to do this you need to pull the RED on the servo out of the Reciever and solder it directly to the little red wire on the Speed Control

A quick comparision:

Keyence- 24 (Fet's)
Tekin- 20 (Fet's)
Q-2 - 16 (Fet's)
GtX - 8 (Fet's)

As far as the other spec's They are very similar,

Novak's you have to run a Cap. Which some people don't like,

Well lets see here, I smoked a pretty new GM about two weeks ago, got a g11pro, and its pretty darn awesome.....fastest lap times, EASY TO OPERATE!!!!!!!! OH, did I mention, its easy to operate??? No fancy crap liket the others!

Not a team driver....YET :thumbsup:


Hope this helps!! Jim Beachley

I have been using the G11 Pro since it came out, and they are great speed controllers, The specs are as good as anyone else. It is the best bang for your buck.
SPECS: Input Voltage: 4-10 Cells
ON Resistance (Ohm): 0.0008
Max Current (Amps): 320
Throttle Frequency (Hz): 1250 - 11250
Brake Frequency (Hz): 1500 - 15000
Power Wires: (3) 12 GA Silicone
BEC (Volts/Amps): 6.0/5.0
Weight: 1.25 Oz (35.5g)
Length: 1.85" (47mm)
Width: 1.25" (31.75mm)
Thickness: 0.65" (16.5mm)
Motor Limit: None if using less than 8 cells
12T limit if using 8-10 cells

And the 1/10th scale brushless system from Tekin will be available when?????

You don't have to run a CAP with the GTX. I know Frank Peachock and a few other guys don't.

I don't as well......

THE BRUSHLESS for 1/10 th scale will be ready buy the end of this year we think ? we are working on the mini battery doctor the battery surgeon thats a adjustable voltage machine as well as the new speedo Jim at tekin will not put it out untill we have destroyed them to the best of our ability !!!! im trying to get jim on here soon thanks guys!!!

i think the on resistance is .0003

i think the on resistance is .0003


3 on the G11 PRO
8 on the G11

right her are the specs and part numbers
Adjustable Drive Frequency: 1 - 11 kHz
Adjustable Brake Frequency: .8-8.8 kHz
Current Limit: 10-90 Amps Bypass
Low On-Resistance: G11 0.0008 / G11 Pro 0.0003
BEC: 6.0V / 5.0A
Motor Limit: 4-8 cells None (8-12 cells,12 turns)
G11 part number TT1035
G11 Pro part number TT1040

That'd be great if Tekin is coming out with a brushless ESC. Hopefully it'll be smaller than the Novak GTB.

i have binn running my G11Pro since the first of the year with out a problem at all ,,, and i run a Digital servo ( KO947 ) with no recever pack and not doing anything with the red wire

Omnis...three of our top 19turn cars and a stock car at Classic Hobbies shut down in the middle of the run once heat built up in the tekin speed speed controls,all running the g11pro.I would use caution when running this speed control.

SOME THINGS NOT RIGHT we had guys at snow birds running 6 turns with 12 to 15 guage wire running with no problem ? did any one contact tekin?

I spoke with Jim for an hour or so, It is a Known problem, It seems to really only happen on Banked tracks, due to the fact that it takes alot more from the servo,

ya erock was telling me about that a few weeks back just seems strange

hey work on your car big man and get off the net im spankin ya sunday!

Mike-it was the strangest thing.The servo still worked but the speed control shut off power to the motor.They would pull the car in the infield and let it cool...than turn it back on and it was off and running again.

Glad to be part of Team Tekin . If I can help anyone feel free to just ask me. here or just hobby talk private message me .

I was sponsored by the original Kevin Orton Tekin regime in the glory days. Am I grandfathered??? :) I still have one of the original Q-10 prototype's (the name for the G-9 supersonic early on). It has been in dirt trucks ,sedans, and oval cars since the late ninety's and it still runs strong, I wouldnt hesitate to race with it now!

I also have another G-9 that burned up,(my fault), would it be possible to get this unit repaired??? Thanks.

mayhem send your resume to scooter@teamtekin.com as for the speedo check the site and email tech support to see if they can repair it for you if they can they will ! thanks for the support !

i have a g10 pro with the same shutting off problem at banked tracks. if i run a reciever pack it fixes it.

last friday..Steve and i...raced for the first time our new g11 pro's at our home track... www.grcsr.com ....those are sweet and fast...we re-edited the lap time and 5 min race track record...1st time out...no problem as far as shutting off...but the problem is already known...and not only on tekin's...if it occured...it is most likely the low voltage that is left for the esc...while using a digital sevo on a high bite condition track....simply use the external red wire that goes out of the esc and plug it to the red wire that goes to the servo(after removing it from the receiver plug...this way...voltage is move directly to the sevos...and more voltage is kept for the esc to operate smoothly...of course...a receiver pack is a quick solution also...remember to leave the esc switch to off...if using a reciever pack...

Ken,
Don't do it man. Everything that I ever owned made by Tekin either burned out or burned up my batteries. Ask Charlie about the the Fire at K&N that I nearly started. The charger (BC112) roasted my batteries till they caught on fire. My Tekin speedo went back to Tekin 3 times to be repaired. Novak, LRP, Keyance, etc etc. there's a reason why "most" guys run them. I'm sure some factory guy is going write in and tell us otherwise, but they get them for free. Was good seeing you yesterday.
Rick<><

rick maybe you need to by life insurance or stay away from electronics this is the new tekin with a state of the art facility and equipment sorry you had problems in the past but most of the problems with equipment come from not carefully using them like maybe putting the lockout mode on by accident? again sorry for the problems.

Rick I hear what your saying but I am looking for the best of the best. I have herd and seen great things about the G11 pro and the next step looks to be the keyeance but I dont feel like spending over 200. I know several people with the g11pro and have had no problems so far.fast and slow guys. I am not so sure about the gtx because I have seen lap times drop off by tenths of a second and then dropped in a Q2 the next heat and was right back to normal again and the gtx was brand new. I am researching everything before I buy. Thats the best thing about this forum-just need to weed through the plugs. I like to see facts, no BS. I realize things go wrong with speedos even with the most expensive ones, burn up or fets go bad whatever the case is.Thanks

Here's a fact ... the G11PRO is 1/8 ounce lighter than a Keyence ... it's not alot, but considering I thought it looked heavier and finding out that it was actually lighter was a nice surpise!

Steve Salvas
Team Tekin

If its good enough for you its goon enough for me.

welcome steve! and eric

omnis..Steve and i are indeed sponsered by Tekin...but...we made the choice from Keyence..to Tekin... because we really felt they would give us an edge...otherwise we would have stayed with what we had...let me tell you...after a week of using those...we're already smiling on how easy there to setup...and how incredibly smooth they feel....performance wise...awesome...we both recorded the fastest lap turned at our track last friday...those are simply great

Eric S

I remember you guys from the sos race at maximus and if I am not mistaken, from what I saw I will take your word even if you werent running for tekin at the time. At your level you look for the best. We talked about that for sometime after the race. I had a blast there the entire summer-I was the guy heath decided to put on the spot for most improved driver over the summer at the drivers meeting-I still have the gift certificate-I dont think I will ever use it because it means more to me than the dollar amount.-I will never forget that. That is something rare these days when it comes to owner/director.Thanks for the info.

I have been using the new G-11PRO and the new Battery tray ever since they came out.........one word......AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i too have switched from keyence to tekin.simple and fast

Ttt Page One

Good Luck To The Guys At Sand Hills!

Tekin g11pro gets the win last saturday @ dirtrunners in NJ... ran the fastest i've ever run all year.
-tone

Tekin G11pro TQ's and Win's 19T @the Roar Nat's, And 4th in Stock....

I used the tekin discharger tray and it is awesome great product!!

I totaly agree on the tray, that tray is the best-I dont care what anyone says about it-keeping your batts at top performance and maintnece-use the Doc--my rating A+

I would have to agree with omni about the tray... easy to use and works great.

I have a G11 pro coming in to go along with all new goodies including car, So I will be running stock 4 cell with digital servo-9550, Do I need to run a receiver pack or attach the two wires? Thanks for making my mind up,

If you are running flat track, there are no worries you dont have to do either, If you are running Banked, PM me.

Wish mine would have worked, Had to remove them from the cars. Kept shutting down 2 min into a run. Went back to old faithful.

anyone know what a flshing red light on a G9 is i have one trigger pull then it shuts off still have steering thanks for the help if someone knows

seems like its not set right the tekin web page has the book if ya dont have it

reprogramed it and still the samething anyone else thanks

i think that for somereason your speed control is not getting radio signal? Do you have any throttle at all, I know on the G11's if you get a flasshing red light and nothing happen's that is what it means
