[mwry13]

Anyone got a release date or any information on tekins Big Speedo for the 1/8 scale market?

Specs would be cool. It would be nice to see how it's going to stack up against castle's mythical monster.

Yeah ide love some specs too... and if they plan on competing with Castle on release date... price... and most importanly specs

I wouldn't hold my breath, for a comparable price to the MMM. Tekin is a race house and build to a higher standard, they have already said the esc's they are building are using the best in their range available.

I'd imagin the prices of the Tekin Controller and Castle MMM to be around the same at launch because isnt the Castle MMM goin to come with a Neu motor (1515 1y is the rumor)?? and since i already have a Neu 1515 1y/f i dont mind spending for the best speed control (tekin) if there going to be better supported, unlike MGM speedos. i hear some horrible stories on how long it took for a MGM speed control to be serviced.

The Tekin ESC will cost more than the CC. Most likely, it will be better too. No corners are cut at Tekin.

Don't know where you heard that rumour it is a 1515 size motor, but Patrick said here that it wasn't a authentic Neu motor, and in fact has some significant differences. I also suspect that with the dramatic price difference, the Castle Neu motor's will be machine wind not hand wind.

The Rx8 housing mold is being cut currently right here in Idaho. It takes weeks to cut a good mold due to very small cutters and delicate work.

A pre-production run of T8 motors is due in next week.

A preproduction run of circuit boards should be done this month.

The packaging designs are just being finalized and look sweet.

We are shooting for release by Feb 26. Its what I want for my birthday!

The proto speedos and motors continue to work excellent for us. We have no major technical issues to deal with and just have to build them.

Oops, I guess I posted this in the wrong thread. But here was the latests I got from the Tekin boys on this.

OK, got new today on the Tekin Monster system and it looks as if its name is changing. Its not much but it is better than nothing. MMM will still be out before this will. Maybe.

Hi. I have been awaiting and trying to figure out something that no one in the RC world is aware of. When is the MT coming out, how much will it be, and what will the specs be, ect, ect, ect? I goto the website often and still I wait for the Monster to be released. Please if you could shed some light on it I would appreciate it. Thanks

(Tekin)
I am going to say about 4 months. We will be releasing the RS next month and than we will finish up the MT I believe the name is going to the RX8 or R8X. I have no idea on price yet. I know it is going to be a beast and is suppose to be able to handle up to a 6s Li-Po pack and will be compatible with motors like the Neu motor etc. and will be compatible with the Tekin Hotwire. . Other than that I do not have a lot of information

tekin prez at rctech.net made a post some days ago, saying it will cost less than the r1pro [because it won`t be using as much fets]... that means slightly under 200$ [guess]... 3-4months is also what i hear... features-wise: same concept as the r1pro; heatsink/fan and ubec excluded of course...
