Tekin RX8 and RC8Te

OK, I was lying. It actually turns out that the internal dimensions are 145-146mm X 49-50mm. Still all the Turnigy 5000mAh 40C and 30C soft packs will fit. Here are some pics of the Turnigy 6S 5000mAh 40C pack in my RC8T.









Can you see over in the right corner where I had to trim a little bit so that it wouldn't press against the battery wires? It's a 10 second job with a hobby knife.



Maybe you can see what I mean in this photo. You can see the black wire is right in the corner and would have been pressing hard against the battery box if I didn't trim it a little.

I hope that helps. Sorry, as I am not the best with a camera but hope that clears up a few things for ya.


What cell count were you thinking of running in your RC8T Ivan? If you are going to run 4S I am certain that Gens Ace 4S 5000 40C hardcase packs will fit too. They are a great battery.

Thank you. You help me soo much. It´s clear to see that the battery could fit inside the tray and you don´t need to trim all of the rear side. And this truggy with 6S should be insane...
Thank you for you help...

i ran a tekin t8 2000kv/hobbywing 150amp esc for the rfirst time today in my rc8t. i really liked the sensored feeling over unsensored castle mamba monster/1800kv. 46/15 gave good topend speed with nice smooth bottom end. temp checked every 90 seconds or so and it ran cool as a cucumber
i am using the ae conversion kit,my 5000mah 4s fit perfectly. to fit my 6000mah nano i had to spin the esc and go the hack on the esc shelf and battery tray. now they fit perfect . am looking forward to getting it on the track and see what sort of runtimes i can get out of this 2000kv
