- Upping the ante with the Pro-2 Eliminator this week and chasing MORE SPEED! The Pro2 5800kV motor definitely needs higher gearing on it to go faster, but this week we are swapping it out for a 4.5T GEN3. We make a few runs at different gearing and dive into the Data Logging feature in our HotWire software. Hint: 70mph is an old goal now.
Run 1 - 2:35
Run 2 - 5:00
Speed Runs Recap - 8:57
Data Logging - 11:08
Final Run - 18:26

awesome tekin
Damn, that RC is a beast!!
Looks like I'll be binge watching this series tonight
Looks great! I am currently saving money for a Tekin Roc412 HD. Amazing quality and lifespan.
Excellent camera work on the 72mph run !
Yeah that guy did good! 😉
Tekin Racing are y’all going to to any drag race time testing instead of top speed testing. Since this is a drag car build I’d like to see what it can do on a 132” no prep track.
Definitely! I can't right now since there is 5' of snow on the ground though. Come spring time I'll get this car back out and start tuning it for 132' pulls.
Did this project ever make it to a 132ft test?
Nice work it just needs nos now !
I haven't even touched our Turbo feature yet. That might be putting the timing a bit over the top!
Tekin Racing you have plentiful supply of motor and esc ! I think just go for gold on this one give it the whole lot
@@wildwestcrawlingcrew865 working my way up the speed ladder! The boss man wouldn't be too happy if I blew up a bunch of ESCs!
The trick is getting that speed at 132ft 😎🤙
Hopefully going to see mid 60s in 132'!
@@TekinRacing big goals
So silly! But very cool. I could see myself running these around the pits at a real size event.
Keep going with your build videos, they are some of the things best!
Fine looking Car for d--n sure .
I'm pretty sure you put heat shrink when the power capacitor when you start this build. I believe you said it was to make it inconspicuous, now there is no heat shrink. What did I miss?
hi did you use boost in this setup what did you start with
Okay my question is what did it do from the launch at a 132feet mark? Not a speed run.
I never got that far and don't have a timing system to see what it was capable of.
I ordered the rsx pro esc hot wire servo etc all tekin can’t decide what motor to get help please!! Trying to be fast On 2s as well
The 4.5T is really popular, you can't go wrong there!
I have the same combination and the esc capacitor raises too much temperature with just one pass. Is that normal?
So I purchased a 3.5 t and the RS Pro Black Edition ESC what's your thoughts on gearing and boost in a Dr10
I'm new to your channel , but why not just put in a 3s lipo to hit 70 mph ? And I've never owned a tekin anything. Its always been out of my price range . But this looks so awesome. Must be awesome to get to play with all the top rc equipment in the industry. What a dream job.
Because that's the easy way and these cars are limited to 2S for the track. I was also told I couldn't go that fast on 2S, so I had to do it! Really what I'm showing is that our products have lots of tools to keep tabs on your setup and make changes to that setup that you can see, all while avoiding damaging things by guessing.
@@TekinRacing well you will achieve the 70mph Marc I'm sure if you already haven't. You are doing a amazing job on 2s I can't believe it. And all the tuning abilities and data logging is amazing. I'm building one right now , but on a strict budget, I have advanced MS and am on disability so my funds are very limited. But I will look for a used set up like that . That is what I want in my ride for sure. Love all the videos, thanks for all the detailed info you give. Maybe I can reach 70 mph too maybe not lol sure be fun to try.
@@mainebearhunter3444 oh we did, 73mph officially! 72mph in this video.
@@TekinRacing oh you did ! I haven't got that far in watching all your videos , I started from the beginning, I figured you would. You seem really good at what you do. But I'll make it to that video, can't wait now. And I did want to say , I watch alot of channels and I think I found my new #1 channel. Question for you , do you guys ever get any damaged stuff back that you can sell ? Like got damaged in shipping or whatever ?
@@mainebearhunter3444 well thanks! I definitely put a lot of work into my videos and I'm glad you are enjoying them.
We don't have too much, but when our store is back up check there for any scratch and dent items, we do list things there!
What was the gearing on the 72 mph pass
22/86 and using quite a bit of timing boost and motor timing just to see how far I could push it.
Nice. What does it do from a stop in 132 Ft?
This what I was thinking these are long diypass
What's the 1/4 mile speed from a standstill
I race 1/10 scale drag cars .it's 132 feet is the scale 1/4 on 2s most.of them go in the 2 sec range @ 55 to 60 mph
Looks good Ty, what was your finally gearing to hit 72?
22/87 on the gearing and pushing the limits on timing! I think I can get a few more mph out of it, going to try a few more gearing changes!
@@TekinRacing what motor was this with?
@@TekinRacing Gearing was 22/87, what was the boost timing number, rpm start and finish for the 73 mph run with the 4.5T? Thx?
@@TekinRacing 22/87? Or 86?
Funny all this rc drag stuff now
Witch I love. Got me a pretty fast Dr10 unlimited class. But I have to laugh because I did rc drags in 99 and with my 10 cell nicad powerd brushed motor I was #6 in the world In 132 feet my grand motorsports chassis 62 impala body went 1.474@ 90 mph.
Which motor did you end up with in the last 72mph run?
Where am i able to find this motor
So with the final changes at 72 mph what was the final gearing and motor used?
No matter what I do I’m stuck at 58mph 2.5ish and suggestions.
So what was the final changes you made??
So when the car went 72mph on the last run what were the changes? Was it still with the 4.5 or the pro2. I must of missed the part where u said what the changes were
I’m currently debating the same two motors you used. I have a rx8 and a rsx I can use for esc. Leaning towards the 8 just because of its current handling ability
Would be nice to actually see the car launch? So see if the wheelie bar works tires etc
Tried many, failed many times. It was too cold and the road was really dirty.
Where am i able to find this motor? Everywhere i look for it says discontinied
GEN4 is coming soon!
Can you tell price?
What is the timing boost? I'm really confused by that
It advances the timing, increasing motor RPM. Be careful with it though, too much timing and the wrong gearing can damage ESCs and motors.
Would you say with the torque of the Pro2 would be the better choice for a drag car? Short sprits?
That’s what I’m waiting to know.
The Pro2 has WAY more torque than the 4.5T. I still need to do a lot more testing with both motors this spring when the snow melts though, I think both can be fast it is just two different setups! Pro2 needs higher gearing with less timing and will have a more linear torque curve, the 4.5T is an RPM monster and really picks up speed when you add in the timing boost. Lots more to come when the roads are clear again!
How did the suspension work on the launch
It's too stiff out back. I'm swapping to front shocks, I think they will work better.
Where is the rest of the 8ight x videos?
I lost some footage from what was supposed to be the last episode. I will try to fit that in somewhere.
Hi do you guys still manufacture crawler brushed motors and escs?
Yes we do, www.teamtekin.com has info on all of our products.
@@TekinRacing Thank you
Did you only do 2s for true race spec speed.
Yep, this was all done on 2S!
@@TekinRacing nice speed
Like the video. What is the most battery and motor I can get away with with my RS pro and drag race
Thanks Mitch! On 2S you're fine down to the 2.5T. On 3S I wouldn't recommend anything lower than a 10.5T if you want to keep your warranty. The RS Pro is very capable but we do have to have some limits.
I would have liked to have seen some scale drag racing instead of speed runs...you probably don't even need that wheelie bar.
Me too, but the road is dirty and the cold temps made traction extremely low. You do need a wheelie bar for drag and even at speed it would try to keep the car from flipping if enough air got under it. I plan on coming back to this one next year when it is warmer out.
So is it speed car or a drag car?
Both! It'll be tuned for drag racing next spring.
Scotty smalls that you???
🤣
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Crikets on the final Motor- Gearing. I will not tell the boss what's up with the secrets? Give us at least half of the answer Motor or Gearing
Same gearing as the previous run, 22T pinion and more timing than I recommend anyone running.
Aren't you going to produce the wheelie bar for the public?
Yea what he said
weight is the enemy, ditch that heavy ass cell phone and get a nice lite gps module and I bet your already 70mph...
Top speed testing is pretty pointless if your running way over 132 feet. You gearing for 132 is going to be way different then the top speed in double that distance.
Actually the 22/86 gearing is pretty good for a 4.5T boosted setup in 132'.
@@TekinRacing I will give it a try. I'm running an RSX pro but castle 4 pole 4.5 turn. I use 23/86. It creates heat but we're only going 132 feet. Most guys seem to be running the low 50 mph in the 132. Traction is the biggest problem, not power.
@@TekinRacing Did you guys ever clock this build in the 132?
@@ryanmerrill8879 not this car, no. I have Team Drivers running the same ESC and motor pulling 2.2 passes though. I was going to change some things around, just haven't gotten time to get it back out and test this year.
@@TekinRacing Keep us posted when you get it working. Always look forward to more content. I would be interested in there setups and ESC tuning. I don't see any on the website.
All the bad tuning info, none of the good. When you finally made a good run you just ended the video. Thumbs down.
I clearly showed what over-gearing does and looks like compared to a more properly geared setup on the data analyzer. Geared lower = car went faster and ran cooler all around.
@@TekinRacing You didn't say what any of the changes were you made to go from 65 mph to 72 mph, gearing was 87/22 when you went 65 mph, no more info, you just ended the video, I think that's what Zack is talking about.
