Tekin RX8 1/8 Scale Brushless ESC Thread
I also checked if it's the BEC but it's not, I connected the red wire coming from the ESC instead of the BEC and it's doing the very same. The other thing is that I didn't change my setup since a long time and was always running with reasonnable temps and had no problem at all for now so it's not related to a change of lipo, servo, BEC or whatsoever.
An interesting thing but it might not have any relation is that when I connect the RX8 with no external BEC the servo acts VERY slowly (it's a HV savox).
Now I will try with another T8 1400kv and with a "normal" servo (not high voltage). But there was a blitz before the ESC displayed the error message. It happened when I connected my lipo before I turned the RX8 on. So something must have gone wrong with the controller.

Thanks jimmy
I just checked them and everything is fine. I turned the ESC on again and the led 1&2 and 6&7 are blinking (error message of a wrong motor type selected) and the ESC is doing a regular little noise like a "t t t " with a one second interval. I don't want to accelerate with the transmitter as it fried my last RX8 when doing so.

Use a volt meter or a receiver pack to test.

Has anyone sent in a RX-8 when in has been out of warranty??? Trying to figure out the cost of repair for one. I have one left that is still running. It was run in a friends car and he told me that the BEC feels like it is going bad.

Mine with a bec and wobbly negative post cost about $45. Pretty sure there is a general repair price list on the rma or warranty page... somewhere.
I'd go to the source for this answer. Oh, that's right, everything on the internet is true!

I did a forum search and didn't come up with anything.
My question is what number values are associated with each setting on the RX8? It says Drag Brake 1-13, but what are the %'s? 1 means "OFF", but what do 2-13 mean? It's the same for Brake Strength, Limiter and Neutral Width. Is each number 5%, or 10% or ??? I really don't want to purchase a Hotwire if I don't have to. I'm only a casual racer.
I read and re-read the manual, and couldn't find it. Does anyone know, or know where I can find this information?
Or can anyone give me the corresponding #'s to the following set-up?
Drag Brake - OFF
Brake Strength - 80
Limiter - 80
Neutral Width - 15
Please give me the settings (1-13) for each of these, or something close.
Thanks
