The instructions should be under the foam in the box along with decals,etc.

I double sticky tape my Rx8 right to that plate, done.

My question is.....when I opened the box, there were no instructions included. I have been to the Tekin website and found a manual there, so that was helpful, but what size screw does the motor take to mount it to the motor mount? The Losi electric conversion kit comes with screws, but they dont fit and I think they are made for the Xcelorin motor. also. My Tekin didnt come with any wires to make a battery connection, just wires to solder the motor to the esc. Is it supposed to include battery wires?

and just one other thing. How am I supposed to hook this thing up to my PC to utilize the hotwire program? Nothing was included for that either.

While I am happy with my Tekin purchase, I am fairly dissapointed that it didnt include instructions, battery wires, motor screws or a hotwire adapter. One would think that if they spent $330 on a motor/esc combo, those items would be included

Oh, and one other question. what is the best way to secure the esc to the supplied battery tray that is included in the Losi conversion kit? There are pre-drilled holes, but it is designed to fit the Xcelorin esc. Thanks in advance.

Couple of questions; The Hotbodies manual tells you to deactivate the electronic brakes, so do you do this by turning down the BS and DB? I'm mixing the third channel for brakes.

Does the fan run full time or on demand?

What is the latest RX8 firmware, 198? I have the Vegas software on my Hotwire for my on-road toys.

Make sure you are using metric screws.

Can someone tell me where I can pick up a red version online from a US vendor other than sleezebay?

Tower is out of stock
Amain is black
Stormer is black
Waiting on others....

Thanks
