Well that made me all tingly!

I'm assuming it'll be a hardware update?

what size are the mounting screws for the RX8? And how deep may they go into the ESC?

I've asked this once also, no response.

The holes are 6.3mm deep and Ive used 2 different types of screw's before, Small plastic threaded screws and 4-40 with varying length's pending if your running the Kyosho Gel or a couple layer's of servo tape for Cushioning.

morgoth

I it seems that you can't screw them in too deep. Expect is you force them and the case cracks. Just screw until they feel a bit tight, but don't force them.

Mounted my RX8 yesterday with some padding between the esc and the tray.

alright so i got a little problem i got an rx8 that gives me flashing 1,3,5 led's lipo cut off or thermal, the ecs is not hot, nor is the battery dead i can run it but then it reverts back to the cut off, i double checked to make sure it was on 4s, even took lipo cut-off off, and it still does it, havnt had the system its in a rc8e im thinking about buying. can anyont shed some light on my, i looked around and could not find anything.

morgoth

Meassure you lipo with a multimeter. Maybe a cell failed? Are all the solderjoints good?

Does your rx8 have 4 mounting holes in the bottom or 3?

What's the entire setup being used?

talked to our local tekin guy and he filled me in on the problem. its the plug between the two boards, so ill be sending it in to tekin soon.

TY@TEAMTEKIN

Just to correct any misinformation, that plug has never given us any issues and that is not what is causing your problem.

If your ESC has 4 holes on the bottom you can send it in for upgrade.

morgoth

Is it true that if you send in a 4 hole case used ESC and pay the 40$ fee that you get another 6 months of warranty?

I tought it was useless for me because the ESC is out of warranty, but if you get your warranty back...

Randy_Pike

iTrader: (6)

Yes, if you pay for the $40 upgrade your warranty is renewed to the original 120 days.

morgoth

Cool! That's worth the 40$ for sure.
Can I ship it also to Tekin in Europe for an other case. Or do they just forward the ESC's to the US?

I have my next race in a month I'd like to have it back within a month then, but I don't know if that's possible? And is it a problem that I don't have the bill anymore? The ESC is out of warrenty anyway and I guess you'll guess know what a genuine tekin product is
