How To: Tekin RX8 Gen 3 Ebuggy Set-up [HotWire] [Beginner Tutorial with Ryan Lutz]

[@billdixon823]

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. 🙏

Great video especially for us just getting back into the sport after a 20 plus year break.

[@RyanLutz]

Awesome. Welcome back! A lot has changed hasn’t it! A lot easier in many respects.

[@petetaulbee5289]

Very helpful!! Thank you!

[@mattgt1000]

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.

[@RyanLutz]

Great to hear! Be sure to check out the new brake settings. I think they are an improvement. Thanks Drake. 👍🏼

[@kaizersozzay9259]

Yes! More videos on your E cars. There’s not enough pro information on them. Are your settings the same in your ETruggy?

[@RyanLutz]

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.

[@randomvids2625]

Awesome explanation and tutorial, thank you Ryan!

[@scott8277]

Top notch video. Right to the point thanks for the info

[@RyanLutz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gchamberlain5280]

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.✌️

[@RyanLutz]

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.

[@Shellbackrc]

Thanks Ryan next time you visit Adrenaline I'll have you look over my Gen2 esc.

[@RyanLutz]

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.

[@socalrun81]

Thanks Ryan. Very helpful.

[@RyanLutz]

Very welcome!

[@craighallett5007]

Great video. Needed that information! Thanks

[@RyanLutz]

Hopefully it helps you get that setup dialed in.

[@iancameron415]

Thanks for this video Ryan, you motivated me to try the new brake settings this weekend!

[@RyanLutz]

Great to hear! Let me know what you think!

[@chasmims]

Thanks….Great info ….God bless

[@RyanLutz]

Hope it was helpful. Thank you!

Thanks Ryan, very helpful!

[@RyanLutz]

You're welcome!

[@mitchyork527]

Well explained Ryan thanks

[@RyanLutz]

Very welcome!

[@tekinprez]

Great video! Should we discuss Remote Data Erase ;)

[@mikechristina6138]

Thanks Ryan

[@RyanLutz]

You got it. 👍🏼

[@robertkouns3078]

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?

[@RyanLutz]

I sometimes run a little more drag brake in truggy around 12-15. Everything else basically the same. 👍🏼

[@johnniemorgan872]

Thankyou so much

[@RyanLutz]

Most welcome 😊

[@ST-0056]

Great video! I feel like the electronics setup isn’t covered much between pro drivers on the 1/8 side.

[@RyanLutz]

Thank you. Hope it is helpful!

[@HYEonDEATHROW]

You have big hands 🙌

[@RyanLutz]

They don’t cal me the worlds tallest R/C pro for nothing. 👍🏼👏🏼

[@HYEonDEATHROW]

@@RyanLutz thank you for the great content. It helps a lot.

[@McflyGfrp]

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

[@RyanLutz]

On the radio i generally leave the throttle at 100epa. I do all throttle settings in the speedo which are shown in the video.

[@corletbt69]

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!

[@RyanLutz]

Up on the torque level and or lower on the throttle frequency will both help in that regard.

[@corletbt69]

@@RyanLutzThanks Ryan!!

[@USNavySquid128]

How much different are your eTruggy settings from the buggy? I find it hard to find some good info on truggy settings online.

[@RyanLutz]

Not too much. Similar principle. Only difference really is torque level around 4-5.

[@gibmirschnell]

Not enough Tekin Ads ... ;-)

[@RyanLutz]

I’ll try to squeeze in more next time! 🤣

[@broccli2007]

What temps are you getting at the end of a 10 min main?

[@RyanLutz]

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.
