Tekin make their own stuff, highest quality, hence the higher prices compared to other brands.

I will gladly pay whatever they ask if it ends up being the "bulletproof" controller that I've been waiting for. I thought "that" controller was here, but "that" controller is being fixed/replaced. The wait continues. Bring it on Tekin!

Still no ETA yet :eyes:

Now called the Rx8 and maybe we will start a new thread with some new information as we get closer. We had to get the RS out the door first and now we are focused on the 1/8 application. We are hoping to finalize the design soon and will provide estimates for release. We are watching what is going on currently with keen eyes. We typically abuse our team drivers first and make sure it is ready for mass market prior to release.

wow, its been over a year since I started this thread. Anyways thanks for the update. I look forward to checking out your RX8 when it comes out.

Thanks for the update, but nice to finally see this :party:

Please consider running an NDA Beta...not sure how many of your Team Drivers race 1/8th Electric every week but we have plenty of guys here who do...

Hurray!!!!
There are plenty of Beta testers here in Michigan more than willing to help!!!

You guys need to let hack newbie drivers like me test it out in our over powered buggies. If it can survive my track driving skills, the design will be ok. :lol:

There are two types of folks who want this product:

Bashers: Folks driving and jumping their monster trucks up and down the street and on fields at retarded high speeds.

Racers: Folks who want an ESC that can handle racing loads as well as the inherent tumbles and crashes.

Just because the ESC holds up under bashing loads, does not mean it will hold up under racing conditions, particularly when the racer is a bad driver and has a poorly setup car that may be over geared and overpowered.

please make sure you take both of these groups into account with your design!!

What I would like to see is someone other then the team drivers do some tests. As you can see in rctech's Speed Passion ESC thread, their team drivers are somewhat brain washed and do what ever it takes to protect a company and even lei with them (Might not be the case with Tekin). Many of the guys who will buy your product will not be only racing, but bashing and some have motors that we don't hear or see the manufacturer use their ESC with these motors. A 6S capable ESC will be good, specially for some long mains and for the basher who wants 30-45 minutes of run time. Now a 12S controller would be nice for me :lol:. I could use 45 minutes with cheaper lipos or even 45 minutes with a good set of 30C 2500mAh 12S lipos. The Europeans can deliver such a ESC, but they abuse us on the cost (Which makes no sense as the HV MOSFETs for me and for a manufacturer doesn't cost much more then a 30V MOSFET) and the service is a pain as we have to send it back to Europe for repair or up dates to software if needed. We need a US based company who can deliver a 12S controller as the future of big 1/8 scale vehicles will take full advantage of such a controller.

I would like to know more about about the motor(s) Tekin have planned for the 1/8 scale vehicles- some basic specs would be very welcome :yes:

i agree with neil on that and finally i see you here really though tekin can you at least give us some basic specs about the rx8 i really have a feeling that this thing will be great

I thought it was already said , Same spec as R1 pro but with heatsink + fan + switch BEC

Now I need to find a link about where I read that.

I thought that they also said it would be able to take more than 3S
