Is the active breaking the same as drag break? I know it's a stupid question , but I gotta ask. Also are there some presets fr the active breaking, seems I read somewhere that there is .

The Rx8 Gen2 doesn't share the active brake feature from the RS Gen2/1

And you'd be wrong.

I've destroyed a few fans (missing/cracked blades) on two of my RX8's and it was one of my peeves.
The fan is similar however the connector has changed for obvious reasons.

for the fan breaking you can do this mod or just throw it if your temps are ok.. I never use a fan on my RX8

Tekin provides an awesome support. Whatever if you're a pro or alone in the woods

Picked up two at my local hobby shop. Installed one, it's randomly cutting out when landing jumps..

Well my first original RX-8 failed and was replaced under warranty, only that unit failed outside warranty and I've been without a working E-Maxx for four months, which is way too long.

Ordered a Gen 2 RX-8 with a 1700kV truggy motor! I'm looking forward to seeing how the 1700 feels compared to the 2000 I was running for over a year. I'm very excited.

My Gen 2 and 1700 kV truggy combo arrived today! It feels punchier and smoother than the 2000 kV I was running but it also runs cooler. I'''m very pleased with the white case aesthetic and look forward to playing with some of the settings to get it dialed in.
