so my new tekin rx8/pro4 has been ran for a total of 2 packs, one short course main then the other today on my street showing a friend. came inside to grab a quick drink and let it cool now it wont even turn on, no lights, chime, servo, nothing. tried 3 different batteries and still nothing. I didnt crash, no puddles, strong solder joints, so i have no idea what the problem is. anyone have this problem?

Make sure you're receiver is powering up and bound to the transmitter. The RX8 will appear "dead" if the receiver isn't responding.

The switch on the RX8 often goes bad (or in my case, falls out of the truck and gets ran over lol). You can always remove it or replace it. I'd check the receiver first though.

This was happening to my RX8 as well, it was the on/off switch. I haven't had a problem with it since cutting off the switch and soldering the wires together. Good luck.

Agree with the others. The switch is more than likely the issue.
