Have the wizards at tekin given a technical description of what 'Boost' is? It would seem to be timing advance. Does tekin have a linear timing advance function?

The reason I ask is if it has a linear function and the boost is the 'slope' of the advance, wouldn't it be better to retard the motor's sensor to zero for power at low RPM and add timing into the top end via the boost function? Not as much of an issue for the 2 cell classes, but for single cell 13.5 and 17.5 it might provide a little more low end to get underway...

from what was explained to me is that timing " boost" comes in at a certain rpm as to just timing advance is all at once from the beginning... yes lower motor timing and higher boost timing will give you more low end power DEPENDING!!! on the gear that you choose..


hope this helps..

Did they say if a point of boost is a degree of timing? Half a degree?

The Tekin ESC is superior, their support is great, and new software versions often is wonderful. But they have not posted any details on the specifics of timing. Maybe it's so their competitors don't know what they are doing.

So what you'll notice is people in the forums are trying to figure it out on their own with their experiences and dyno testing. "Boost" is very vague. It also changes from version to version. For example, a boost of 14 in version 189 has less timing than in version 194. Each time we install a new version, we have to do our rollouts again. Sharing rollouts between racers now includes: rollout, mechanical timing, speedo, (and if it's a Tekin...) boost, and software version. Although I would love to see some specific numbers on Tekin's timing, I'll take what I can get. I'm very happy with the Tekin speed controller. Their ability to flash the hardware makes it almost future proof.

The truth is the Tekin esc sends a small shot of nitrous to the motor.

James I agree

I,m pretty sure that every ESC company out there buys their competitors newest products just to find out What they are doing, if their not their just not trying hard enough.

i just wish every manufacturer would worry more about there own stuff failing and less looking over there shoulder..how many times have you heard a company rep say "i didn't know we had a problem"........errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

LOL, Tommy! :thumbsup:

ok ok all joking aside when the boost kicks it sends 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to the motor and when it reaches 88 MPH we will se some serious sssssssssss
