How are the Rx8 & T8's holding up?

2mm is fine, the bearings are a slip fit on the shaft so thats where the movement is, anyway upon heating of the rotor it will expand around 1mm anyway, you dont want to preload the bearings, there not designed to take thrust very well

I HAVE A BRAND NEW RX8 ESC. ON EBAY NOW. THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IT IS BECAUSE THE 1700KV T8 WAS ON BACK ORDER WHEN I WANTED TO PURCHASE IT.MY LOSS COULD BE YOUR GAIN. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU GUYS KNOW

I don't run a tekin but I would think you can shim it up a little to keep it from moving.

20+ packs huh? wow im at about 10 now on my truggy motor in my buggy, we will see if mine holds together

Mannnnnn 4 Rotors! I hope Tekin will take care of it so i can drive my next Race without problems. For now they are out of Office till thuesday....

Now i'm gona test a 1600kv medusa on the RX8....

Got reply from tekin and they replace my broken rotor ....

Tekin Team Thanks!

got my 1700kv rx8 combo back from tekin yesterday.....put it back in my rc8t and went to the track....now....i put all of the original settings back on and had it geared 16/46 (my original gearing as well) and this thing was out of control :) !!!!! i think tekin fed my rx8 combo steroids when they were nursing it back to health!!!!....whatever they did it takes off like a rocket now...not sure what changed but i'm happy with it!!!!!!!!

are you shure you get a 1700 not a 2250?

[hootie7159]

Well the sticker still says it's a 1700...lol

Apart from motors, are there any issues with esc's?

No issues for me till now....

Appart from my loose magnets i'm very pleased with the system.

(Temperary driving RX8 with a 1600-36-60 medusa motor. Not the smoothest comparing to sensored but still power enough till a get my 2250 back)

[Kajman]

why not smooth? how smooth comparing to mgm or maybe mmm?

medusa's just arent very smooth on any controller, but my MMM 1y and MMM t8 2250 feels just as smooth as the tekin

new style rotor


since glued back rotors work ok, I wanted to put together rotor that came totally apart.

we will have couple guys with new tekin motors without the new style rotor and i want to have couple backup rotor ready for them if theirs fail and I think they will as so far 100% rotors failed (5 out of 5)

I hope the new style rotor can last as long my old neu rotor (2.5 years old) that survived even beating with a hammer when i was trying to remove stuck pinion

Nice Pic's....

I already got some 648LT from work and gleud my magnets 2 days ago.

It's a simple job so hopefully it will hold. This weekend i'm going to test it.
