Why are the RX8/1900 combos never in stock?

^^^ I'm waiting for one of those also. I ordered it form my LHS knowing it was on back order. That was almost 3 weeks ago. Hopefully I have it before April lol. I can't wait to run it, and I heard the products and the service are amazing

It seems that this stock must be going somewhere else They were in stock at Amain for about 5 min last week! Maybe they are using this stock to replace the broken ones!

Randy,

I got my scte all set up, (Rx8, Pro4 4600kv, Airtronics 94780)
First thing I did was update my Rx8 (hotwire: lipo set to 2s) out of the box ran it tonight anytime the sensor wire pops out or hard landing, it won't run it just cogs turn it off back on ran like a champ, did this 4 times. But the power is very smooth when no issues

Go back to 212. Sensorless mode was inadvertently left off in 222. Otherwise get a new sensor cable.

Also, try putting a few layers of parma servo tape under the electronics to help cushion hard landings.

This was one of the reasons why we pulled down 222 from the site. Please read a few pages back. Going back to 212 will correct the issue.

I mean I used to have a CC MM 2200kv x 4s system and my Tekin 5s is so much more beasty! Wheelies with ease yet is controllable, its amazing seeing my truggy fly past me and the front tires looking like cookie cutters and like they are barely are touching the ground.
I'm having one problem though, I'm running a 5s 30-40c 5000mah pack, my runtime is very horrible to say the least. I have punch setup to be as aggressive as possible, full timing, 20% initial brake, 50% reverse force, 50% max brake strength. Truggy is a Tekno MBX5T 17/46 gearing. I bought the battery used, could it be time for a new lipo? If so 6s here I COME!
Neither battery, lipo, nor esc gets warm so why aren't I getting more than 5-6 mins run time?

Anyone?

Will the power delivery still be as smooth?? The reason I ask this is we have a huge 1/8 jump on are track, there's two other trucks excatly the same as mine. There on 212, but my truck cleared it every lap smooth they could not get it.

Thanks for the help lookin forward to the revision of 222

Are you really sure the are exactly the same? I have seen differing shock setups make a big difference when clearing things like you have explained. Radio setups also can make them different with exponential, etc.

Same system, Bce chassis, Tlr tuning Kit, same springs, and also both running Airtronics M8's

Youre forgetting "the driver mod". Are you driving the other chassis too to see if its the chassis or the driver?

Everything's the same except he has 212 and I have 222, could be the driver though putting 212 back on mine to till 222 is fixed
