- Ryan Lutz taking you through his set-up on his Tekin RX-8 Gen 3 Speed Controller for his Kyosho 1/8th Offroad Buggy.

Tekin explanations of various settings:
RPM Brake- allows you to set a different brake strength that works off of the motor RPM. This setting adjusts your "slow speed" or "infield brake" power. First you'll set your normal Brake Strength for high speed areas of the track, so set them how you want them for braking on the straight and for corners at the end of high speed sections. Then you can use RPM brake to increase braking strength at slow speeds, if necessary.
If your car is perfect braking from high speeds, but seems to lack brake strength at slower speeds, like in the infield in tight sections, you can turn RPM Brake up to increase the slow speed brake power.
Brake Minimum- It adjusts the minimum amount of brake the ESC will apply to the motor as soon as trigger brakes are engaged. The higher the value set, the stronger the initial brake power will be. This will also move where full brakes are at on the trigger, so if a setting higher than 0 is used, 100% brake signal is reached before 100% trigger throw.
Push Control- allows you to set some artificial coast to help "push" the car when you let off throttle and go to neutral. It does the exact opposite of Drag Brake, so rather than apply brakes the ESC will keep throttle on and fade to zero throttle so long as you stay in neutral. This can help eliminate drive train drag and assist with entering corners and carrying more momentum everywhere on the track. This setting is most beneficial for stock classes.
Torque Level- controls the initial power delivery or the "punch" your ESC and motor will provide. 1-10 steps are available with 10 being OFF, or full punch with no limiter. The default setting of 8 is a great starting place for most setups and surfaces.
Use 4-7 for most modified setups on lower to medium traction surfaces. 7-9 for high traction surfaces. Setting 10 for any stock or SPEC racing class so no limiter is in effect.
Throttle Minimum- is the minimum throttle power the ESC will apply to the motor when the user induces a throttle application. If you want a stronger initial throttle and higher motor start up RPM, use a higher value. Use a lower value or 0 to have a softer throttle and lower motor start up RPM. For Spec racing, higher values will increase the punch feel.
Throttle Frequency- allows you to adjust how aggressively the throttle on your ESC reacts. Lower values provide a more aggressive feel and higher values provide a more mild feel. This setting can be used to fine-tune the feel you're looking for on different surfaces.
Default is 6kHz with a range of 2-12kHz available. Lower values are great for stock classes and higher traction surfaces, 5-8kHz are great for most modified and 1/8 electric setups on all surfaces. 9-12kHz soften the low end of the throttle up and can help out if you drive more nitro style.
Brake strength- adjusts the amount of trigger brake the ESC will apply to the motor. There are 1-13 steps available using the onboard QuickTune system, with each step being about 8% brake strength. You can also fine tune the brake strength via the HotWire at a higher resolution of adjustment, with 0-100% steps available.
Brakes are extremely important and you need to adjust them appropriately. Track surface, moisture content, tires and car will all come into play when setting brakes. Typically a good brake strength is going to be 80% or less. I find myself setting even as far down as 55% at times, which really helps me not over brake and carry more speed.
Brake Frequency- changes the pulse width being applied during braking. In general higher frequencies provide a softer brake power and feel with a more usable range of trigger motion, allowing for better brake modulation while keeping full brake power overall. Lower frequency gives more aggressive brakes with a stronger overall feel. - Навчання та стиль

I love how you give credit to Adam not many pro drivers would ever say ‘I like what my competitor is doing I tried it and like it. This is just another reason why your the total package. Stay humble, and keep on keepin on.
Thanks Bill. 🙏
Awesome explanation and tutorial, thank you Ryan!
Top notch video. Right to the point thanks for the info
Glad it was helpful!
Great video especially for us just getting back into the sport after a 20 plus year break.
Awesome. Welcome back! A lot has changed hasn’t it! A lot easier in many respects.
Thanks for this video Ryan, you motivated me to try the new brake settings this weekend!
Great to hear! Let me know what you think!
Great video Ryan. You helped me with my RX8 settings at the X-RAY challenge. My laps times, consistency, motor temps, and tire wear all improved. Thanks again.
Great to hear!
Be sure to check out the new brake settings. I think they are an improvement. Thanks Drake. 👍🏼
Well explained Ryan thanks
Very welcome!
Thanks Ryan
You got it. 👍🏼
Thanks Ryan. Very helpful.
Very welcome!
Thanks….Great info ….God bless
Hope it was helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Ryan, very helpful!
You're welcome!
Thankyou so much
Most welcome 😊
Thanks Ryan next time you visit Adrenaline I'll have you look over my Gen2 esc.
Sure thing. But same set-up will work in that as well if you or someone else has a Hotwire you can check it out with.
Hey Ryan, frequency is pulses per second usually , so the higher the number the more pulses in a second. The less pulses, the more aggressive throttle will feel because it stays for a bit longer on max voltage and low voltage… unless that number means something else👍 i can go in more detail for PWM but maybe that is not what the number in the tekin electronics means.✌️
Thank you for the education! I very well could be wrong on the explanation, but at least on the on track feeling I know I explained that correctly. But I did think that's what I remember from the Tekin video on Frequency.
Great video! Should we discuss Remote Data Erase ;)
Yes! More videos on your E cars. There’s not enough pro information on them. Are your settings the same in your ETruggy?
Basically except as mentioned in the video I run torque level of 4 or 5 in truck. I also use a little more drag brake usually. Around 12-15.
Awesome video. Thank you! I'm just getting back into it after taking 3 years off. I have a 10px As well. Could you give me a base idea as far as throttle settings? I'm used to drag racing settings, but I know they will be a bit different for this. Thanks again
On the radio i generally leave the throttle at 100epa. I do all throttle settings in the speedo which are shown in the video.
Great explanation for those of us that needed a run down of the ESC settings. I run that same motor/esc setup in my buggy and will give your recommendations a try. For my truggy with 2000kv, other than going down to 4 or 5 for torque is there anything else you recommend adjusting?
I sometimes run a little more drag brake in truggy around 12-15. Everything else basically the same. 👍🏼
Great video! I feel like the electronics setup isn’t covered much between pro drivers on the 1/8 side.
Thank you. Hope it is helpful!
You have big hands 🙌
They don’t cal me the worlds tallest R/C pro for nothing. 👍🏼👏🏼
@@RyanLutz thank you for the great content. It helps a lot.
Not enough Tekin Ads ... ;-)
I’ll try to squeeze in more next time! 🤣
Ryan, thank you for this, I put this setup on the buggy at Thornhill this last weekend and it was a nice improvement for sure. Where would I go from here to get more burst over a triple out of a 180? Felt like I needed a bit more run up, having to go a little wide to set up for them. Guys running larger KV motors could get that pop while hugging the corner. Maybe just asking to much out of a 1900 or is there more to be had in that respect? Thanks!
Up on the torque level and or lower on the throttle frequency will both help in that regard.
@@RyanLutzThanks Ryan!!
How much different are your eTruggy settings from the buggy? I find it hard to find some good info on truggy settings online.
Not too much. Similar principle. Only difference really is torque level around 4-5.
What temps are you getting at the end of a 10 min main?
With normal setup and it can vary by track and ambient temperatures I can be anywhere from 150-200 on motor and 120 or so on speedo.
I drive pretty hard though and again lots of variability from event to event.
