How are the Rx8 & T8's holding up?

Brushlessboy16's Tekin rx8 bit the dust- BEC works fine, along with the leds and hotwire. Just doesnt turn the motor. What causes this and how do we fix it/

Indeed, I'd like to know what soldering has failed so atleast I could try to fix it. I think Tekin should already know whats the problem with the ESC because all the RX8 stop working the same way now. Well not all but most of them.

Glad that they have 120 day warranty, because I haven't had any replies from their support yet. Only one automated message that I should wait 48 hours.

So any information about how to fix it without sending to Tekin. Just because it seems that their support must be doing something else than helping us out.

edit: As soon as I get some reply from support I will send it in. However if another issue occures I'm going back to Castle Products. This is just bs with all the dead esc.

Same here.. sort of...
I have probs with my RSPro. Seems I have a dead BEC. Emailed support a couple of times last week and still no response..
It would appear they've all gone on holidays... Have to say I picked a really bad time to make the jump to Tekin.

Is it me, or is there a sudden increase in these motors/esc's going wrong,my rotors seperated,and now my esc has developed a fault,i cannot fault Ty at Tekin,he has been very helpfull,but these are not cheap units,especially so when you live in the UK/Europe,when these go wrong there is normally a minimum 2 weeks before you get replacements from the US,it is starting to get a little frustrating,especially as i was talked into getting the Tekin combo instead of the cc mamba combo,they do not seem to be suffering anywhere near the same amount of trouble/failures,no doubt Tekin will get these issues sorted, but a bit hard on the people,who have laid out a lot of money to get these items from the US.

Which is why I asked about who pays for the postage fees when I have to send my dead esc back.

Don't know the answer yet, I really dont mind the waiting although its a bit pain in the ass but still. Oh the postage fees are aroun 70$ from Finland if I don't want to wait up to 30 (!!!) days to get it delivered to Tekin.

Talking about "What if's".. wish my ESC was second generation or even working properly so I wouldn't have to worry about these things.

Who do you think we've been trying to get help from?? Santa Claus? (j/k)

Seriously... I've had an email conversation with Randy re: v200 firmware and raised my issues with him already and the only response I've had is email support.

I've since got a response from Ty this morning asking me to re-flash the ESC which I've done many times since.. but did it again anyways, just in case.

No help from Tekin yet .... I re- sent the email this morning....

I got a reply from Tekin - I have to send the ESC back ...
