Just finished both the Buggy and Truggy today, thanks for the conversion kit Mike, very nice and easy to install! Me Likey!

Painted both a very easy scheme, made the stickers in house (except the 8IGHT ones.) These won't be the last 8IGHTS in the fleet, I can assure you that :D

Look out Nitro burners, we're coming for ya!

Nice work Ty - those both look awesome! So . . . when should we see them running your new system? And when will you be bringing them down to Boise for me to check out first hand? It would be sweet to have more than one brushless truggy running at the track! Keep up the great work!!

Sower, nice to see someone else on here from the Boise area. I am in Kuna, I currently have a 8XL powered E-Maxx but am working on an Ofna 1/8 Buggy conversion. Never been to any of the races but often thought about checking them out!

We'll check up on the legal names, but I don't think it will matter because a brushless controller has nothing to do with 1/1 car.

I'm still going to check though.

Right on - that's great! You should definitely stop by the Boise track. PM me if you would like directions.

For anyone else . . . check this link for some photos of Tekin's action at the track this weekend:

captain harlock · 08.31.2007, 11:32 PM

My!!! Does this mean the R1MT is in it's final stages of testing?

Serum · 09.01.2007, 02:26 AM

Looking good !

Glad to see them...how about you bring them to RC Monster's Bash race on September 15th? Then come down to GM Xtreme on Sunday the 16th for the Battery Blast race...lets get some real world testing on those puppies...

Cars look awesome. Have you tested them out yet? How did the new system do?

=)

rschoi_75 · 09.01.2007, 12:46 PM

agreed. sick looking rides. I can't wait to see the final results

teamtekin · 09.02.2007, 11:59 PM

I have about 4 hrs of run time on the Truggy with no issues other than the normal shakedown of a new car. Awesome!

4s 4800, w/Nue 1515 1Y, geared 15/48. "Rx8" proto ESC ( what do you think instead of R1mt? The Guys made a great logo and it makes more sense.)

We are working on a pro level 1/8 BL system including motor. No time line for release yet. For now we are just showing off our new rides.... and learning exactly what it takes to get it done.

Sower, we are planning to run the Truggy and Buggy at the CDB trophy race. in Boise. We will also be running the R1 and redline motors in the 1/10 classes.

Hey Prez... I just ran our trophy race this weekend with a similar setup... the "original" brushless 8ight :D LOL

I had a great time... I ran really good, and the car worked pretty well with only minor issues. I qualified 3rd in pro buggy which is very good for me with the group of racers there. It was some tight intense racing! I tried to get footage of the mains but my camcorder was dead. :angry:

I can't wait to see what you have!! I have one small bit of advice.... ha ha... secure your battery/esc connectors with tape or a zip tie, so they don't leave you with a "flame out" in the middle of the A main. Don't ask how I came up with that tip.... LOL.

TY@TEAMTEKIN · 09.03.2007, 11:46 AM

Funny you meantion flameout glassdoctor, when the prez was running with he nitro burners at the track he stopped off to the side to adjust his brakes and the track marshal picked up the car thinking it had flamed out, LOL!
