yup, $60 off a $300 purchase. I buy a lot of stuff though.

They have a $25 one listed on there site if you are not a member though.

Anyways I would of been happy to pay the extra and had it 2 weeks ago like most who ordered from a-main or stormer.

Default Tekin 2050kv

I have a NIB 2050kv combo if anyone is interested. I posted a seperate "for sale" thread a few minutes ago. I back-ordered two and they both shipped, so I have an extra one.

How are you RC8 guys gearing yours T8's 1900kv on 4S? or 2050kv?
For med/long tracks.

Im still waiting for amain to fill my backorder,but I need to order some pinions as well.
I was thinking 19 or 20 T on a 46T spur,but not sure.

This is the track I drive most of time,kinda on med size.

I have a 18 tooth on my rc8/4s/2050. For that track on the 2050 I think you are right on with a 19 or 20. For the 1900 you might want a 21 tooth in your arsenal as well.

If you end up needing extra runtime on that track you could drop down to a 17 or 16 and not suffer too much. The only time it looks like you can go wide open is on the straight. Nice looking track!

You were able to order it and have it shipped from Tower...?

I have had it on back order for over a month...Called tower and they said they did not ever arrive. They are due to arrive on Friday.
