The custom LVC settings on the Rx8 are NOT per cell! They are total voltge settings.
You will know when you hit LVC, the car/truck has no power and often feels like it hit a wall! LOL
If you're having an intermitent issue I STRONGLY reccomend checking all the connections and solder joints. I can't stress enough about this.

Yeah I'm on stock settings. 4s led 4.
If you want a safer setting try 12.8v.

Randy/Ty/hopefully someone...I plan to call tomorrow about this.
First race day of the season, had run plenty of practice (half dozen packs or so) throughout the week, and have had had no issues. Suddenly today right before racing starts, I get LEDs 1,2,6,7. The RX8 manual says this is motor type, or bad connections. I like to think I have good soldering skills, and all the joints look well-flowed, but just to be sure I re-wired the whole thing, including battery connections. Same deal.
Since I don't have another T8 motor to test with, can I test with like a 13.5T Redline from a 1/10th scale car to eliminate the RX8? If so what's the procedure? Should I use only a 2 cell pack, or can I plug in my 4S for a quick initialization? I would think this shouldn't be a problem unless I try to run it at full speed, but you never know.

Yes you can test with any good BL motor. If the esc arms with another motor take the rear endbell off the T8 and look for a cracked solder joint at the lower part of the solder tabs. If there's a crack you can reflow this with a hot iron.

I've just been taking a break from troubleshooting, and finished wiring up my Cougar SV Pro with RS Pro/13.5 combo. Sweet setup, though it was far easier to wire up after I decided to switch to 14ga wire. Hopefully since the leads are only about 2.5-3 inches each that will be fine. Should be, since I see people doing triple that length with 12ga in 1/8th scale and this is just a 13.5 1/10th.

I had several problems with my RX8 1700 truggy combo ... (had to wait for the repair/replacement for about 3 month (including shipping to germany) but now the esc + motor runs strong in my sons car (traxxas summit 
) and I switched to a MMM 2200 in the truggy.
Loving the smooth motor of a sensored ESC I will give Tekin a second chance for my buggy. So my question is : which combo is the best for a losi 8ight 2.0 buggy ? Actually I am using a MMM 2200 with no problems at 4s. (I am limited to 4s here in germany because of racing rules.... ) Is the RX8 / T8 2050 (buggy) the best choice or is the truggy 2250 version the better choice for longer and cooler runtime ?
How can I be sure to receive a motor with a V2.0 rotor and a bulletproof ESC ? (Tekin : Please send me a PM if I can buy a strong combo directly from you )

Why would you need the fan on all the time? Right now we have no plans to add that feature.
