Tekin RX8 first impression -
05.29.2009, 02:20 AM
Received my RX8 combo today and my first impression after looking at it closely were good. I got the 1550kv 4038 motor and it looks nice in person. However upon closer inspection I noticed a dimple in between the fins. It seems to have happend during machining of the motor can. The ESC case has a nearly perfect fit and held well together with two different lenght screws. Yea I opened it to see what it's made out off. I got nude shots if anyone is interested. I added additional caps with transorbs.
Anyways, I plugged the sucker up and hooked it up in my GTP with a 6L hacker on 6s1p A123. Just testing it on my garage floor was impressive. I see blown diffs once again in my near future. I'm using default settings for now. I'll write a whole review later on.

Another test run completed. Brake are impressive in this ESC. Well controlled "antilock" brakes.

I love my RX8/2050 combo... The brakes are so strong and slow the car progresivly. Like it has ABS. Power is off the hook! All fully adjustable !AA++ Thanks Tekin!

The brakes are BaddA$$$$$$$$. I don't need no stinkin' sensor cable with the 2 pole Hacker either. Both my diffs in the GTP are gonners again.

HAHAHA! Yep I was looking for the whole hand here...
I had the chance to check out the Tekin motor at the LHS. I have to say, it feels and rolls smoother like a 2-pole motor. Its not jerky like real Neu's or 6-pole Aquacraft motors. I'm not sure if that a good or bad thing. |

I haven't used the Tekin motor as I have no use for it. I did spin the motor shaft by hand and it kinda felt like the Tekno motors. But I like rpm's, so I stuff the Hacker in there instead.

Why buy the combo if you don't need/want the motor?
