RX8 Race Report

[wallot]

Race report - 1 rotor came apart after 20 minutes of racing, second rotor came apart after like 3 minutes. Last motor (on my car)so far lasted 40 minutes and seems ok. I fixed both rotors with loctite 648 to get my friends through race. After few minutes both moved by like 1mm but lasted through the rest of the racing day. Well loose rotors were nothing compared to cracked magnet on one 3670 medusa motor.

i need to change the throttle profile to much more aggresive, but so far I am quite happy with the RX8. even without fan it stayed cool and I was running 6 seconds faster laps than with my nitro mugen last year at the same track

And the efficiency of the T8 motor is incredible. It consumes less mAh then my old neu 1512.

Just those rotors........

Do you have a truggy motor? I am using a 1512 right now and am finding it's getting too hot for my liking and for it's own good at times.

Check my other thread "looking for motor for racing....", something to that extent.

What are your old temps and what are the new T8 temps running similar setup?

cheers
