Are people running the RX8 yet?

[Sparky]

It’s a little early to tell just how durable the RX8 is, but I have run about 20 batteries thru my RX8 1350kv motor system. The motor ran a little hot, after checking the RPM of the motor it is really is about a 1475kv motor. So my gearing was a little high. After dropping a couple of teeth to 15/46 it cooled off. I really like the system. It’s just so consistent. My first race with the new RX8 is this weekend. I think the system is more durable than the MMM, but I think the CC 2200kv is a little faster. One thing that shocked me is there is no neutral motor breaking at all. When you let off the trigger the car will coast forever. I think with the added control of the RX8, my lap times will actually be faster. We will see.
