Tekin RX8 first impression

That "board" is to clamp the voltage down to a certain value, so I don't go over the ESC Voltage limit during hard braking when running at max rated ESC voltage. You can just add caps with out the "board", but use good quality batteries when running at max ESC voltage. This will aid in the reduction of the Voltage spike you get during braking.

ok, thanks. If I understand that right, if I have eg. 36v caps and no "board", the spikes (up to 35) absorbed by the cap can hit the esc and damage the esc.

So adding two 25v 2200uf caps should be ok? I'm runing 5s lipos (esc max. 6s).
