I know who's car that is... maybe I can get him to update the pic link somehow with new pic. I think he fixed the fan a long time ago. But if you like, I can post that pic as often as possible
I haven't been able to find a clear answer.. so with the T8 buggy motors (4030) the dimensions says it is 71mm long. Does this mean the motor can is 71mm long or is the motor including the shaft 71mm long? If its just the motor can how long is the motor total including the Can and Shaft? Thanks Ethan
The buggy motor can assembly is 71mm long(including 2mm of sensor recepticol sticking out the back), with shaft it is approx 89.4mm in length.
The Truggy motor can is 78mm long (including 2mm of sensor recepticol sticking out the back), with shaft it is approx 96.6mm in length.

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

Well, my RX8 ESC gave up the ghost today during practice. No smoke, no flames, just no power to the motor. No LEDs lighting up either. Still have BEC power to the receiver and steering. I'm thinking that having it solidly mounted to the chassis behind the battery tray just physically beat it to death until something mechanically failed on the circuit board inside. Ordered a new one from Amain today to gaurantee having one for next weekend, and I'll send the old one back to Tekin later this week for replacement. Back to mounting the ESC on a plate behind the center diff, on some more shock mounted foam. I'd say these ESCs should be potted inside, but then they'd be disposable and non-repairable by Tekin. Not to mention the extra weight and heat dissapation issues.

idk if its just me but removin it with a hammer sounds like a good way lol jk

I must say I am impressed with the RX8. This is my first time driving it after nitro and IT was sweet. I ran 50/16 in the rc8te with 2000kv and the tires were ballooning. I guess I need to do some adjustments. Much props to Tekin and i am glad I left the nitro world.
