Couldn't really change anything more then by just doing it manually. All I ended up changing was the nuetral range and it's just been sitting in the toolbox. Not a necessary tool at all. YOU'LL NOTICE, all other reviews done on the same weekend....
One of the most powerful tools in my pit! Combine the Hotwire 2.0 USB Interface with the Tekin Hotwire Android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamtekin&hl=en) and the correct adapter (Phones with a Micro USB http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFYH11Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to turn your phone into one of the most versatile tuning tools!
The Hotwire makes tuning my controllers fast and easy. I can either copy factory driver setting from the website or create custom settings for each track. This is a must have
I will not go to the track without it! With new Android app it is now the most versatile ESC tuning tool .. pc, laptop, android devices .. great!
This is a must in the pit box. If you want to dial-in your setup and get ahead of the competition then this is the product for you.
Most reviewers rate the Tekin Hotwire 2.0 USB Interface highly, praising its ease of use for tuning Tekin electronic speed controls, the ability to load factory or pro-driver settings, and added flexibility from pairing it with the Hotwire Android app and a PC. Several describe it as a useful pit tool. Dissent centres on one reviewer who found little to change beyond neutral range and considered it unnecessary, and another who reported it did not work with a Tekin T-300 programmable servo or stand-alone without a Tekin ESC and requested a return. One reviewer noted the tool suits the RX8.3 receiver's many parameters. Some reviews appear to be promotional and may carry less weight.
