What happened to tekin

My phone app says my tekin esc is to new of a version for the app, and the pc says my pc is to new to run the tekin download on there. Tekin use to be top not, but seems to be a huge waste of money now. Guess i have 2 rx8 esc’s that are paperweights now

Hotwire App

App works as it should - great for making adjustments while trackside. Easy interface to fine tune the control of your Tekin products.

NOTE: If you have any issues connecting to a new esc be sure to calibrate first.

Hot wire

It’s ok it works but u would think they would fix that u can’t read the settings because they are to high on the screen and are cut off, other than that I would of given 5 star it just frustrating

Almost perfect!

The UI could use just a little help. Sometimes the number your setting on a setting is hidden by a bar up top. If all the sliders/UI where bumped down to center the screen instead of being on top it would fix it. Also string a + - button for fine tuning would set it off. Other than that add the dataloding to the app and this is best in class.

Very buggy

The app does not accurately read my ESC settings and does not accurately apply new settings. NOT reliable on race day and I always revert to hooking up to a laptop for accurate and reliable use. App does not render correctly on my iPhone 11 and it chops off critical setting information from view. Needs an update badly. Revamp the app and I’ll be happy to change my rating. Till then, I recommend to all my team mates to stay away from the Bluetooth on iPhone and use a laptop for serious tuning.

Would like to see data logs

Where is 280?

No 280 or drag for apple?

V280 firmware incompatible

Does NOT work with v280 eliminator firmware in esc... no responses from tekin and removing posts on Facebook asking questions.... still no update for saving profiles or others with new firmware for over 3 months!!!!!!

The app doesn’t work properly

I’m very disappointed with the Tekin folks, their products is top notch and very expensive but this app needs a lot work, for starters the app has not been updated in over a year, when you open the app stuff looks out of place like the image I’m looking at is too big for my phone’s screen and the app is not compatible with their newest esc software (280) so if you’ve updated your esc to their latest esc software be ready to only be able to make changes to your esc on a pc. I hope an update is coming out soon for us app users.

App needs update

Does not recognize eliminator update v280 on app

Update app

When will you update the app to work with version 208?

And wouldn’t you update the app before the new software version was released?

Are we ever going to get an update for latest v280?

I just got this and Bluetooth functionality of the HW is very disappointing since the mobile app doesn’t even support my latest esc software. What’s the point in this

Does not support v280

App needs updated.

Stürzt ständig ab

Hi, schade das die App ständig abstürzt.
Der Regler (rx8 gen3) danach immer neu angelernt werden muss. Die BEC Einstellung von 6 auf 7,4v wird nicht übernommen. Obwohl in der App auf 7,4 steht.
Einige Werte werden dann nach dem erneuten Verbunden werden muss, da die App wieder abgestürzt ist, auf komplett andere Werte verstellt.
Schade dafür das der HotWire3 so teuer ist.
Hätte auch die kleinere ohne BT gereicht und dann mit Standart PC Programm.

Programming issues on all Apple handheld products

1. Active drag function can’t be controlled by app
2. Throttle Minimum doesn’t function correctly. The highest value I can set is 20 out of a possible 30. If I set a value from 21 to 30, the app sets a default value to 3
This is with a Tekin Rs white esc

Seems buggy

With the latest update it now connects with the RSX Pro. Unfortunately it doesn’t work well. Changing one parameter somehow makes automatic changes to other unrelated parameters. Makes it impossible to set it to your preference.

Works well

Works well with my Spec mode esc but whenever I try to connect my RSX Pro is says I need to update the app on my phone but there is not an update available.

Alles bestens 😂

Endlich ist das ersehnte Update für v276 da 👍

Awesome!

The ultimate drive-by-wire tool, enough said!

Perfect!

The app works perfectly. Much faster and easier to navigate compared to the Hobbywing WiFi. Would be nice to see max ESC and motor temps.
