Tekin RX8 1/8 Scale Brushless ESC Thread

LED's will ramp up on ESC like normal rotation if you run motor type 7. Don't need to reverse throttle direction in radio.

It seems no matter which mt I use (3 or 7) I need to reverse the throttle channel on the radio to get the desired result. My radio is futaba 3pl. Does that sound right?
Edit: I searched around and it seems with futaba you need to reverse the throttle channel in the radio.

I just installed a Futaba also with the same issue.
I did have a Spectrum in it & was fine. I had to reverse both steering & throttle now it seems half power in forward. When I switch it back so the brake is throttle I get tons of forward power.
My question is, do I now have to reprogram the ESC with the hotwire ?
I believe now it is using the brake profile as the throttle profile, & vice versa.
OR
Do I have to reverse rotate the motor direction in Hotwire & go back to normal setting on Futaba ?
I checked epa for throttle is maxxed..

I don't run futaba but a few posts back it seems you reverse the tx and run the esc normal.
Simple question, but I didn't see it mentioned so I'll ask...
Did you recalibrate after all of those changes?
When on throttling forward, does it go immediately to reverse and from reverse to forward there's a delay?

Recalibrate the ESC ? No...
I read those posts a few times...
I did just notice and figure out to adjust epa you have to pull the trigger.. Doh !
That may be it, will have to try it tomorrow..
Thanks fq...

May be as easy as that.
Settings on radio when calibratting should be:
Throttle trim zero, throttle & brake dual rate zeroed out.
Throttle and brake end points max.
Throttle and brake expo at zero.
No curves, no tweaks, just a neutral setting for everything trigger related on the radio.
Once you calibrate you can put your expo and whatever back to how you like it.
No need to reflash on hotwire unless that doesn't do the trick. If no help maybe a reset on the esc... forgot how that's done but it should be in the manual.
Happy motoring

No problem eh
My son did a test run while we were reworking the track & it worked great.
We had a race this week end and the runtimes with the T8 1400kv were incredible.
I'm running a 6S 3300mah lipo and had still 3,7V per cell left after 16 minutes of racing on a BIG track with the RX8
My gf ran a 5S 3700mah lipo with the same motor and had the same voltage left running a MMP.
It means we should reach 25 minutes racing with a standard lipo (about 500g) which is GREAT. Love the T8 so much, massive gain in runtime compared to all the motors we've tested before. And the temps are very good too: 140 max temp on the T8 and 110 on the RX8 (no fan) after the last final.

I have a question, I got hit so hard on the side of my sct that it pulled my rx8
off the 2 sided tape and pulled a wire off the motor. I re-soldered it and I noticed the fan would move a hair and stop after I turned it on. Doesn't the fan run a few seconds after you turn it on then stop or I'm I thinking some other brand esc when you 1st turn it on?

The fan will run until the esc arms...
Ok, so dont know why i took a brand new in the package rx8 out of the package about a month ago, i put a castle bec pro on it cause im runnin hv servos, anyways it was glitching real bad today anyways it ended up not working any longer the esc shut off and wont turn on its getting sent in monday hopefully tekin will fix it for me not having good luck with eletric. Haha thanks for being a big help tekin i highly appreciate it.
