Anyone heard any news on it? Losi bought out a 1/8 ESC from no-where and Tekin is still making designing theirs

I'm sure when it's released though ( Tekin that is ) you won't be having any problems with it

We have been working on it quietly. We took a pretty good beating for being late on previous product announcements so we are taking a lower key approach.

We have been a thru a number of motor prototypes and think we are close to a final version. We also have the esc designed and in proto stages. Unique engineering takes a lot more time than mass produced OEM variations. How many colors do we need on basically the same stuff?

We are also seeing some good results on the R1pro with a metal housing to remove heat. The R1pro has more than enough power handling and actually has more fets than our Rx8 or any the 1/8 controllers. Due to its small size it may still have a home in the 1/8 market with a decent heatsink.

We hope to have some good lipos pretty soon and a separate BEC unit as well to take care of all the power needs.

Sweet, thanks for the update. The R1 is rated at 3S, is the RX8 going to be the same?

I'll ask for it one last time. 6S and 10-12S.

I've been having great efficiency with my 8S set up now and the only draw back now is that the drive shaft has bent and I have to make a new one. The ESC has never seen temps more then 5 degrees over ambient and the motor (Great old Aveox 36/38/2Y) has never seen 130 degrees and thats after 30 minutes of hard running.
