Tekin 1/8 Scale controller release date? - Page 7 - RC-Monster Forums

The unit does not come with presoldered connections. Care MUST be taken to get good solder joints on this unit!

The fan takes about 30 seconds to replace! It has an easy to use connector and only 4 screws and then slides out the top.

I also recomend leaving it out while you solder on your wires of choice.

Have you guys talked about how this thing mounts?

It is soo cool! It has built in screw holes at the bottom of the case allowing the esc to be screwed in from below.

Best mounting option so far.

Nice touch by Tekin. I cannot wait to try this system....my Revo conversion is almost done and needs a power plant. I will not be racing, but I look forward to the smoothness of this system

The deciding factor for me is how efficent the motors are, if they are as good or better than the Neu motors, I am all over it. Where are the motors made?

I saw on the rctech forum that something was changed on the RX8. Would some one at Tekin please tell us what was modified, that was noticed after the SilverState race.

Can someone answer my previous question? THANKS

Here is a Quote from Tekin Prez over at RC Tech:

Made it tougher for physical abuse like the Silver State track. Beefed up a connection we had seen fail more than once. The rule is once we note it, twice we fix it. We had seen that connection fail twice and one of them cost me my main in Vegas after some hard earned qualifying, so I truly understand the pain. Actually the only 2 failures we have seen in months except a wire breaking off. We are confident it is now as tough as it can be and it is ready for the real world.

The circuit is solid and able to handle more power than the batteries can provide as long as nothing cracks or literally breaks off the unit. Soldering of the wires is really our biggest concern. Losing any of the wires can be bad if is jumps over and welds to the next post

Any news???? Anyone got an email that their combo was in the mail? Just wondering if these things actually went out when Tekin said that they were going too.

Well the Tekin team driver I know has had the ESC for a while now but he just got his motor this week.

gixxer · 04.18.2009, 05:29 PM

so has anyone who is not a team driver gotten one yet?
