How are the Rx8 & T8's holding up?

Hey guys, I finally got an RX8 System so I thought I'd post up a few comments, answering a few of my own questions in this thread...

• I bought my RX8/2050 combo from A Main last week. As soon as it arrived I opened the motor to see if it was a new style or old style rotor, it was the new one.

• Fit in my Losi was great but the Servo lead was too short, an extension is needed if you are mounting it where the ESC is designed to go on a Losi 2.0 conversion.

• I raced it hard yesterday. Ran wonderful. Very smooth, considerably smoother than the Losi I had in my buggy. We run 12 minute A mains at my track, took home the win! (2nd place was also electric...3rd was nitro...)

• The 2050 buggy motor ran great but geared the same had a little less kick than the Losi 2100 I replaced. I'm not dissatisfied at all, just making an observation.

• I bought the Hotwire but aside from Timing changes, I'm not sure one actually needs it. Nice to have but the LEDs on the ESC are like nothing I've seen, very slick.
