I also back ordered the 1400kv system. I am going to try it on 5s though.

Thanks for the opportunity to lay it out. In short we make great products with personal commitment, offer them at a fair price and support them.

Currently we truly do stand alone with the only high power system with 40mm multipole motors that are sensored and run sensorless for perfect response in any situation. In addition we really have done a good job with features, size and performance. You can adjust almost everything right on the unit with few quick button pushes and the hotwire lets you really dial it in.

Like all of our products no compromises have been made right down to the dual contact, self cleaning power switch and servo plug that is best we could find for fit and signal quality. We use gold plated solder posts for tight installs and low losses. We have a small PC for a micro that gives us the ability to update and improve the unit ongoing. We buy leading edge components and use super heavy copper power boards. The fan is quick and easy to replace since we know they will break at times and the housing is made of tough Polycarbonate instead of the typical ABS. The Rx8 is the smallest footprint, handles as much power as the batteries can deliver with control and feel.

The Rx8 has a ton of user feedback with the 7 leds to show error codes and help diagnose issues. We show you if there is no radio signal, or we do not like the signal, or it is not changing like when a spectrum receiver will hand us the default neutral when it is not communicating with the transmitter. We have a real time temp monitor so you can look down and quickly know your internal temps and drive off again. We even have a sensor checker that allows you to see if all the sensors are working correctly. The top 3 leds light up with the sensors and you can turn the motors slowly with your fingers and watch them tick away.

It is also backed by Tekin, which means support by people that are as passionate about the hobby as you are. In the near future we are confident it will speak for itself in terms of performance, reliability and overall satisfaction.

Buy Idaho!

what will the warrenty be on the rx8 system?

will teken still warrenty the system if we are useing it with nue 1509 motors?

The 1509 is a smaller motor than our 4030 or 4038 and I see no problem.

Tekin warranty is 120days on all products. We are starting to get stricter on receipts and causes because people do try to take advantage of our good nature. Growing pains that come with broad success. Fortunately our warranty issues are impressively low on all products. This product is going to get beat up a little harder than most.

Have you used beta testers with a variety of real world applications? I mean everything from hardcore racers to hardcore bashers?

I love my MMM, but CC's biggest mistake was lack of beta testing with a variety of setups and uses. With the issues worked out it is a keeper for sure. I have interest in the tekin for another vehicle though.

What are the restrictions and/or suggestions for setups using non tekin motors?

I wanted to clarify this last question. Is the controller setup to run 4, 6, or higher pole motors smoothly? What are the limits in these areas? Has testing been done with any outrunners?

thanks for the update. I look forward to putting one of these in my 8th scale. Already put the system on back order. Now just make sure Murphy doesn't break anything else on you, before I get a system. :)

We have beat on it pretty good in many setups. Time will tell, but we think we have done all we can to be ready.

Should work fine with any motor including the Neu, CC and Losi motors and all the sensored 1/10 scale long can motors.

We have not done any testing with outrunners. The system does work fine with multi pole motors. We have tested with up to 8 pole motors.

We are going testing tommorrow to get ready for the RCpro series Cabin Fever Race that has a 1/8 buggy class. We set up another new buggy today to add to our test fleet.:na:

thanks for the updates and let us know how the testing went!

speaking of spektrum, has there been any issues with compatability or calibration? I'm running the DX2, and sometimes other escs have arming issues without a programming card. could you speak to that at all?

How many s. lipo can it handle

Up to 6s.

[QUOTE=teamtekin;265627]We have tested with up to 8 pole motors.QUOTE]

Where can I get an 8 pole motor Jim?

[QUOTE=lutach;265867]align 600xl and 650l are 8 pole ( still my favorite motor! )

[QUOTE=Semi Pro;265868]Align 600XL and 650L are outrunners first of all and Jim stated he didn't test the ESC with outrunners yet. Also, from what I've been told by Align the 500L, 600L, 600XL and 650L are all 6 pole. To my Knowledge so far I've only seen 2 8 pole inrunners. Neu 17 and 19 series, Plettenberg can make them as well as a 10 pole (Bolido or the 370 line of motors) and there's a guy in Germany (Not surprised here lol) that has made a 8 pole and a 16 pole inrunner (I have pictures of them somewhere, but I can't find it).

Testing went very good although we had a lot of silly car issues. New car shakedown and all the typical stuff that someone forot to tighten.

We have not seen any issues with radios or binding. Many of the recievers do seem to need an additional cap. It is always best to keep the reciever wires away from the motor or battery wires for best range.

Turns out it was a 12 pole sensorless motor that we tested with to make sure we could keep up. We did, but it blew up in our Emaxx thrasher in the video on the web.

We are really happy with the 4pole design for sensored and sensorless operation. Everything really is working extremely well and I am very happy at this point.
