Tekin 1/8 Scale controller release date?

We have been working with Tekin for some time giving them info and data on what we have experienced running the electric 1/8th scales. Tekin Pres has very appreciative of our input and experiences.

Thats good to hear. At least they are getting tips and help from the public. I haven't seen/heard that CC is talking to the public about what they want to see too much. I am just really excited to see someone do a head-to-head comparison of the Tekin RX8 and the Castle Creations MMM.

Don't know where you heard that rumour it is a 1515 size motor, but Patrick said here that it wasn't a authentic Neu motor, and in fact has some significant differences. I also suspect that with the dramatic price difference, the Castle Neu motor's will be machine wind not hand wind.

The Rx8 housing mold is being cut currently right here in Idaho. It takes weeks to cut a good mold due to very small cutters and delicate work.

A pre-production run of T8 motors is due in next week.

A preproduction run of circuit boards should be done this month.

The packaging designs are just being finalized and look sweet.

We are shooting for release by Feb 26. Its what I want for my birthday!

The proto speedos and motors continue to work excellent for us. We have no major technical issues to deal with and just have to build them.

Any way to get on a "preorder" list?

What motor KV will you be offering to start with? Hopefully more than just one.

I'm interested to get a whole package, (ESC and motor) but need something properly suited for a buggy on 5s.

Question: How is the RX8 "leading the industry in ... power handling ability"? Can it really handle more power than the MMM?

Quote from here.

I'm not a CC fanboy. I'm legitimately curious if it handles more power.

Thanks!

I am with you on that. Think I will have to try the 1900kv model. looks like this will be an exciting year for 8th scale.
