The revision date on that link is 5/7/08 & it says nothing about the RX8. Am I missing something?

For this motor, if you are running in Hybrid or sensored mode (not sure if the latter is available), if for some reason the sensor cable gets knocked free, does this damage the ESC or motor? I have heard that other sensored setups in 1/10 scale seem to get damaged if the sensor wire gets unplugged for some reason.
Also, have the same question about the LVC that someone else posted, as to when it will be able to be manually set to a custom level.

The LVC can be manually set on the RX8 if you use the hotwire.

Depends on how long your mains are. A 2050 on 4S 5000mAh may or may not make a 15 min race. A 1900 should make it more easily. Either should be able to be geared to be fast enough.

For larger tracks I tend to reach for the 2050 if the traction is average. If the track is slippery or smaller I go for the 1900.
Both are great choices for 4s. For most tracks the 1900 can get it done. Ty and Jim and myself all ran the 2050 at Silver State and felt it was great. I was only putting 3400 or so back into our 4s packs after a 12 minute main with 3 warm up laps.

For my RC8e I got the Tekin 2050kv motor and am running it with 2 thunder power 5000mah 40c's. And the gearing was 16/46 and I didn't time my runtime yet but I would say I get about 14-15 minutes on a medium sized track, but I am very pleased with the combo for the track I run at.

Tekin,
What exactly does the 1,1.5,2,2.5,3 and Y/D designation refer to?

Number of turns of wire and how they are connected in a Y configuration or a Delta (star). Lower turns are more more powerful and faster typically and delta winds are more powerful for the same number of winds.
