User Reviews

Tekin HotWire 3 offers easy, trackside tuning via Bluetooth and works across multiple units with fast navigation, but users report major drawbacks: lack of updates and firmware compatibility, UI readability problems, reliability issues with readings and setting persistence, and weak Tekin support.
Pros
  • Easy to use interface for on-track tuning.
  • Bluetooth/BLE connectivity enables quick tuning from the phone.
  • Works across multiple HotWire 3.0 units and easy to move between them.
  • Fast, intuitive navigation and generally faster than competing wireless options.
  • Broad compatibility with Tekin ESCs (e.g., Spec Mode, RSX Pro) for on-track tuning.
Cons
  • App is outdated with no recent updates and appears poorly maintained.
  • Incompatibility with the latest Tekin ESC firmware (208/280) causing read/apply issues.
  • UI/readability problems with readouts or controls cut off on screen, especially on smaller devices.
  • Reliability issues where readings are inaccurate, parameter changes are unintended, and current settings aren’t shown when disconnected.
  • Limited support from Tekin and slow or unavailable responses to issues.

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

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.

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
