RX8 or MMM combo?

[hootie7159]

I just got my rx8 yesterday and went out to prairie city today and this system kicks ass ..blah..blah..blah..etc..etc..etc....you all get the point however, the things that i really like the most about it is the ease of track side programming...it has these leds with abbreviations next to them to let you know where you are in the programming mode/the ability to take the fan out without taking the case apart.... and i also like the smoothness or sensorless as well...i used to run a CC/CC NEU 2200kv combo in my rc8t on 4s and now i've swapped it with the rx8 w/1700 truggy motor on 5s and in all honestly...yes its smoother due to sensorless but you won't see the big difference IMOH unless your cruising at less than 2-5mph on the track...but then again, my MMM/CC NEU combo never had an issue with cogging even with stabbing the throttle (in my rc8t on 4s).....sooooo i see the tekin system as just another option in the world of 1/8th scale conversion and (i believe someone already mentioned this) we can call this system successful yet until its been around for at least a month......i personally don't do ridiculous speed runs but I know a bunch of you guys do.....so in my last and final honest opinion, the MMM/NEU=bashers.....rx8=racers.....but we still have to wait until castle comes out with the 1800kv motor :)


oh yeah...and i soldered on bullet connectors b/c i hate solder posts...

I prefer the bullet connectors too. Soldering is cleaner, however for ease of use and practicality, bullet connectors win.

I don't have anything against the RX8, but for my uses I can't see paying the price difference. The MMM does everything I need and CC has excellent service to boot. While the RX8 may be smoother, I have never had a complaint about the smoothness of my MMM. I would like to hear about how smooth the startup is without the sensored motors. Especially on some 6 pole motors.

curious to see that me too...if the mmm is smoother on the startup without sensor VS the rx8 we can imagne how smooth will be a mmm sensored or the mm pro
