Tekin Builds Ep. 13 - No-Prep RC Street Eliminator Tuning & Speed Runs!

Finally got some nice weather to film and see how our Pro-2 Street Eliminator handles the street. No prep whatsoever on our dirty road surface and it was cold out, so traction is basically non-existent and it made for some interesting driving. We did a few launches and played around with the car a bit in the street and it is a handful!
Ty also shows how the HotWire 3.0 BLE unit works on an Android phone, makes some adjustments to increase drive-ability and goes for top speed.
Launch Testing - 1:01
HotWire 3.0 Tuning - 4:04
62mph Speed Run - 12:06

I have used both castle motors and ESCs but only have ran Tekin’s motors, unfortunately I have never used a Tekin ESC and I run a 17 thousand member FB group dedicated to “RC Tips and Tricks”. I absolutely love your roc412 motors, I also own a T8 2650kV that I have yet to find the limit to and your servos reviews are good so I just wanna say thank you for the great products throughout the years and please keep the KZbin build series going. I’d really like to see some large scale rigs like a limitless or a UDR or Yeti XL.

[@floydiandays]

I really enjoyed this build series. Great vids. Thank you.

[@renobob7781]

Nice run 👍 I guessed 63mph yesterday on IG . I had a Traxxas Bandit Dragster w/ a Castle 8 sidewinder it took me months of tweaking and tuning but, I finally hit 80mph. I can say its not easy, but you'll get, I'm watching. Later 🤠🇺🇸☝️

[@TekinRacing]

I'm looking forward to gearing it up and trying again soon!

[@d.khoung359]

Getting the car on a setup board and making sure camber, toe and everything is symmetrical will really help you get go straight

[@tombaker1516]

ty, I really enjoy your video, I can really see myself enjoy that kind of racing! Keep up the fresh new ideas!

[@TekinRacing]

Thanks for watching, I'll have more on setting the car up for drag racing this spring!

[@ejohnson22456]

Nice Quattro face on the Garmin watch. I have the same one!

[@stevencurtis-rich4178]

Stiffen up the diff so it applies power evenly to both rear tyres and soften the rear shocks so it loads the tyres up better to make use of the torque.

[@banditfishing1558]

Steven Curtis-Rich nah turn it into a funny car, no rear suspension so the tyres wrinkle and grip better

[@myyotube8497]

I miss so times when we could still go out and have fun.

[@robschierbaum]

Sweet ride bro. Subbed.

[@Crewchief227]

Nice Vid! I have a gen 2 RX8/T8 2050kv combo in my Rc8b3.1e. I watched all your vids on the hotwire settings, but still confused on how throttle & brake frequency effect the car. Could you elaborate in a future video? Thanks

[@TekinRacing]

I can add that to the list of tech videos, sure! Basically the frequencies on both throttle and brake affect how aggressive they are. Lower frequencies are more aggressive and higher are less aggressive and soften up the feel.

[@TheGlock34man]

Where did you get that Willie bar and the twist down body pins. Awesome videos bro

[@GaryCrowellJr]

That roll in to frame at 14:14 is dialed

[@MrBigdee572]

I just want to say thank you for the details video I have been wanting to do a build like this for a while now but I see the parts list you have but can I get a price list for all the electronic that you have on that build because i can not seem to find it on your website

[@TekinRacing]

RS PRO Black Edition - $229 GEN3 4.5T - $89 (this is the motor I'm swapping to) T-130 Servo - $169 HotWire 3.0 BLE - $69 Spektrum SR315 - $60

[@MrBigdee572]

Can you give me the link to this motor because some how I can not find it on your site

[@TekinRacing]

[@blooper323]

Hi, quick question. What is the difference int the RS Pro black edition and the RSX Pro?

[@ivanpada7094]

Car looks sick what esc are you running in that no prep car

[@antonep4721]

Can i run my rs4 with 13.5 on 3s in my team associated B74

[@Dynamicmustangs]

What motor is in this car ?

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Are there any factory 4wd r/c drag cars out the box? I know ppl invent stuff all the time but just wandering if it’s been manufactured yet.

[@TekinRacing]

I'm pretty sure Arrma does, check out the 1/7 Limitless and Infraction.

[@willy3sticks647]

I built a no prep associated b74,narrowed rear with traxxas jato skinny front tire, 100c 2s & with a havok pro esc & ballistic 4.5 t motor,launches like a beast, but dont think i can run 4wd in nprc

[@Archiewinter920]

Is the boost applied linearly between the start and end rpm values? So if you add 30 degrees boost it would come in at (eg) 23000rpm at 1 degree and end at 35000 at 30 degrees? Hope that make sense?!

[@TekinRacing]

Yep! Once the start RPM is reached, the boost starts adding in until the end RPM is reached, then all of the user-set boost will be in.

[@Archiewinter920]

@@TekinRacing so 'IF' you wanted, you could add boost for a lift in the middle of the motor RPM range - not sure why, maybe for some extra zip out of a corner.

[@TekinRacing]

We do have Turbo that stacks on top of Boost and is activated when you're at full throttle for longer than the set Turbo Delay. Then you can also adjust how hard the Turbo hits with the Turbo Ramp rate. More for straightaways than corners but I see what you're saying!

[@adalbertoalvarado2914]

Can you tell what kind of rear tires you have?I have an Hpi 1/10 scale and I can't find any wide big tires for it..

[@TekinRacing]

The tires are Pro-Line Hoosiers and the wheels are their Pomona drag wheels for short course truck platforms.

[@wesleydean1358]

Are your speeds at 132ft

[@r.d.k3891]

Hey bro iam from indonesia. How to buy ing your proudct tires,

[@chadkyletheman41]

Those buggy arms have got the wheels sitting in too far and looks absolutely abhorrent. Would you do it differently a second time round?

[@TekinRacing]

Nope, narrow goes straight.

[@gregoryh9442]

Ty, are you running a 2s or 3s?

[@DanielA-dz8yh]

How much that Bad boy cost that’s what I’m trying to figure out

[@terrygamble9895]

Foam tires would work great

[@TekinRacing]

They would but this class of car is required to run rubber tires.

[@patrickwilliams362]

Did you run that 62 in a scale 1/4 mile? 132ft

[@TekinRacing]

I have not marked a 132' run yet. It's too cold and the traction is minimal and it just snowed 5" so I don't think I'll get to run it again for a while.

[@johnmiller4553]

🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@andrewwhite2863]

Are you doing 60' or 132' passes?

[@TekinRacing]

Just flat out speed runs. It's too cold and the road is dirty, so I don't really have enough traction for good launches.

[@bridgetacord7912]

What app did you use on you phone for top speed?

[@TekinRacing]

It's called GPS Speedometer by Tech Arena Apps, seems to work really well and it's nice that it records and keeps top speed as well as average, distance, time. Not bad for a free app!

[@stevesorrentino8271]

If you cant get the car to go straight it doesn't matter how fast it is.

[@TekinRacing]

It will. Decided to go for top speed and show how our data logging works since it was so cold out.

[@uncletom1971]

Dude, you're speeding on a public road!

[@TekinRacing]

Almost 4X the speed limit! Cops were cool with it, I asked 😉

[@uncletom1971]

What world we live in.

[@matthewneufer1758]

That's a sweet body I think I would use that for something like a Kyosho GT2 Inferno on road if it would fit or a or Mugen mrx6x e on road I'f it would fit I think that drag racing is for broke rc dudes who can only afford 2 wheel dr. Rcs cause their cheapest I'm not knocking it. I would just much rather drag with a 4x4 on road already something like a touring car fuck that rear wheel DR. Only I have a shit ton of rear wheel drive rc cause I once was the broke guy

[@eugeneiaclayton1304]

No speed report lol not worth mentioning

[@TekinRacing]

Watch the last episode, we hit 74mph.
