or tekin can..................no wait never mind yeah release it at least next month or this month please:yes::yes::yes: as well this thread could be made into a review thread for the rx8 since it has been here for a long while

I say that Tekin is one of the best companies around and they've been so silent about the RX8, because they won't cause any disapointment to us.

I'll put it in the dark until it's out.

FYI, I've fried my R1Pro pretty badly:

how did you do it?

What was the ESC in?

That looks familar. I fried my rs yesterday but not nearly that bad. On mine I am not sure if a wire came off and cause a short or what. Just know after the smoke the - soldiering post was no longer attached to the board.

Mine was in a 2wd 10th scale buggy on 2s though. That is probably why mine doesn't look nearly as bad. Case is still intact.

Anyways I emailed Tekin today and will say what they say about a repair.

Anyone talk to Tekin about the RX8 at ihobby?

How'd you do that? High voltage and amps?

Yeah.

A Neu 1512 (4875 kv/v).

4s 4320mah flightpower.

CC BEC.

Novak capacitor.

Which cap were you using? Was it in a cool spot? Some guys are running cooler temps on 5s, maybe that has something to do with it.

I think a 2700uf, 25v cap.

Drift Buggy! An RX8!!! Nice find man!

Aye, finally, we get a glimpse of the fabled esc....

Another shot of the ESC

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that is doesnt have any capacitors built in?

I can't beleive you missed the 3 little silve colored caps facing down on the picture above.
