How are the Rx8 & T8's holding up?

[mk351e]

my motor problem happened within the first 2 minutes of use. They are very concerned, and have the fix done, not that big a deal. Something was also wrong with the esc as well, but their tech support kicks ass! THESE people have it together! Anywho, it really doesn't seem like they're having many problems, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at all, and I do believe that my repaired setup should last a long time. FWIW I've been through like 6 MMM's!! Surely I'll use fewer RX8's!

Well 4teking motors were on race on saturday, 3 of them are already gone. We are waiting for rotor now, glueing it needs some practice (we are getting plenty of it).

since not living in states, it's not a minor problem, you have to wait quite long and racing season is on... I pulled mine yesterday, just checking who to write to... saturday race (which was actually going to be first electric race in Slovakia ever) is over for me... well. Hopefully next wave will be ok

apart from that - running great, running extremely smooth and on 2000KV geared for 60kmh in my truggy had just right temperature compared to Novak I used earlier

The rotor on my Tekin truggy 2000kv motor came loose in the first minute. I got a replacement that lasted only two packs before coming loose again. The next replacement was a redesigned rotor that has been working great for over 10 packs. It looks like they changed the rotor and fixed the problem.

I drove about 10 packs with my tekin combo and the only thing that broke was the Fan. My Rotor can move 2mm in horizontal, is this a problem?

I'm running a 2250kv

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

This morning i was driving on our local track and suddenly my car starts to stutter under acceleration. (11 Lipo Pack's for so Far)

After a check of the settings with hotwire a went to the Track again and hit the Throttle. I heared my motor turning but my Car wasn't moving at all. I think the magnets has come loose from the Rotor

Team Tekin....HELP ME!

I going to sent a mail to support service

My magnets let go as well. Called last Monday, got the new rotor Friday as promised and so far so good. Give them a call or e-mail your info and they will replace it. Very friendly service.
