Maybe Tekin thinks that's enough for their ESC.

I've done the double-take twice now.......Am I reading and seeing correctly that the RX8 will be sensored? If so, Bummer; I really thought I'd end up owning one.

It could be possible that the RX8 will work as both a sensored and sensorless esc.

Exactly, it'll have the hybrid technology.

thats another reason why I plan on buying one for my revo or 8th scale buggy. I have 2 of there rs's right now and prefer it over my lrp comp or novak gtb's that I use to run.

Randy Pike says that the RX8 isn't to far away and to get your 1/8's ready

[jhautz]

They are ready....

What does "isn't to far" mean? Days... weeks....months...? Last I heard they were talking early 09. A xmas present would be nice though.

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

They wont say exactually. They have stopped work and every thing else and are now 100% concentrated on getting the RX8 into production and we better have out 1/8's ready

[gixxer]

That is good news. Then I can have a tekin in my revo to go along with the one in my rb5 and zx-5. I do hope they allow us to change the timing on the esc itself and not need a hotwire. I already have one but really the timing is the only thing I use it for.

Just because sensored hasn't worked out well with conversions (so far) doesn't mean it will NEVER work. Sensored smoothness for my big MT and 1/8 truggy sounds very intriguing to me.

You are not reading right. It will have sensored and sensorless support, much like a traxxas vxl esc.

[jhautz]

Yea. Its like the the Tekin RS 1/10 product. it will run any motor, sensored or sensorless. If you want to run a standard 1/8 unsensored motor then you just dont use the sensor wires. I personally like the flexability it offers. A bit of nice forward thinking IMO.

[lutach]

So we all seem to like the Hybrid technology. I hope to see more companies with it.

Hybrid is sweet. I want to see a 6s or something HV sensored

Especially the Tekin hybrid mode, starting up in sensored, and swapping to sensorless once its going
