Hey guys I need a little help here. I am helping a friend put together a
FT RC8BE. He has a Tekin RX8 with a T8. The wire that goes from the ESC to the receiver seems to be to short. The ESC is mounted so the wires are as close as they can be. The plug just pokes through the receiver box. I have double and triple checked the routing of it and there is no way its wrong or could really go any other way to help. I spoke to a tech at Tekin and he said it should be 10 inches long. I took it apart and measured it and it actually measures 10.5 inches yet its definitely still to freekin short. I thought about using a servo extension but I just dont like that idea much. Plus the plug is like half in half out of the receiver box. No good.

As you can see it allowed me to have extra slack through out the routing and I like that as it shouldn't wear any of the cables due to being so tightly routed around the corners and up and around things. It also allows me to remove either the radio box, or the battery tray one at a time with ease.

I wanted to share a few Excel Sheets I created.
In one I consolidated all the Data from the Hudy setup guide to one sheet for quick access.
The other I consolidated many of the published setups for the RC8B and this can be sorted by track type.
I hope some of you find this help full. I've gotten allot from this thread time to give back.

5s and 2650kv ought to be complete insanity
I got out today to try all the changes I made to my car and it really made a huge difference. The rear was completely planted. From the stock setup I went to black rear springs, the upper hole in the rear hub, the lowest inner hole on the rear tower for the camber link, and 3 degrees anti-squat.
