i'm not sure how he sold you a tekin rsx...since tekin said it won't be released til later this month. maybe you bought it from a tekin team driver or something. but anyway...you should be good to go once you get to your track man. i run the nano tech's in my dex410 and the Nano Tech A-spec battery in my sct and i like them.

Just ran my DEX410 for the first time. Wow....I've laid my fastest lap with it so far and finished 3rd in the Amain. 1st and 2nd are very, very good drivers. A few guys broke during the main so that helped, but the buggy just felt great.
Only issue I had was on a few hard landings, my esc (RS Gen 2) reboots itself as if I turned it off then on. I'm going to cut the on/off switch and solder those wires together. I think the switch is getting jarred.
Temps were good with the RS and 8.5T neither above 130 degrees after 10 minutes of track time.
I find this buggy much easier to drive smoothly compared to my B44.2. Turn in was much better and it didn't push like the B44.2 does. Obviously the cars are both setup differently, but I think i'm a convert to the 410.

A few wires do now, but there were no wires over the esc the first few times it happened.

Usually, after replacing/swapping out every component trying to diagnose, I've had to end up sending it back to Tekin for repair.

also a good suggestion. you could need a power cap or BEC. i noticed my servo would cause my esc to cut out once in a while.

Hey guys, need some recommendations for a starting setup for a high bite carpet track. Thanks.

Whoops, wrong thread.

I have a question for everybody. I am running my V3 at our big race here and when I let off the throttle the buggy acts as if there is drag brake bad (there is no drag brake though). Anybody else experience this? It accelerates great and theres nothing binding, it rolls free. I ended up putting some push control on it and sub trimmed the throttle up till its barely spinning to help. Just wanna figure out whats causing this. Thanks!

Get the composite 6mm shock towers they are more durable compared to CF or aluminum shock tower.

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner. My battery wires were hanging over the program buttons. I removed the On/Off switch and when it still happened I just sat down and started to look at it. That's when I realized what was happening. So a few hours of thinking and deciding on a new layout has it looking like below. No more issues and it seems to work great so far!
