Is anyone using a DX3R system with mechanical brakes and the RX8? If so, can you shed some light on the setup you are running? I can't figure out the channel mixing. Thanks in advance.

The modification was me cutting off the fan mount. so that I can either mount my own fan or use it fanless when it's not too hot.

I've been told by president of Tekin that doing such modification would not affect service.. yet I get this email.

Therefore, I received my motor on Saturday and called today asking where the RX8 is, and it wont ship till tomorrow. The lady over the phone tried acting like I was stupid when she said I received it two Saturday's ago and I said yeah thats the one that broke again.

I have been having a great time with my RX8 and T8. Many reliable hours on the system now, and my lousy driving skills means the poor thing gets the crap beaten out of it on a regular basis. All of my friends love driving my Tekin powered 8ight, and I can't blame them. This has become the most dependable car I have ever owned.

Thanks Team Tekin!
