I'm currently happy with both my Tekin Rx8's and they have been running perfectly for the last couple of months so I probably won't be upgrading anytime soon. Just wondering what happens down the road if say I do blow one *knock on wood* and I send it in. Is Tekin going to repair it to Gen1 specs or to Gen 2 specs?

Newb new to electric what is this sensor wire and what does it do? Thanks

The sensors and harness allow for perfect motor drive at any and all speeds. This is beneficial for throttle control, feel and performance.

Ok I have the Tekin 4600kv and waiting for the Gen 2 RX8 what sensor wire will I need for my Losi 2.0 Thanks

You will need a long sensor wire. 250mm

Tekin

Is the BEC going to drop voltage down from 8.4v to the have a constant output of 7.4v?

do you know where I can get 1 amain only have the shorter lengths. Do you have a part #

While reading through the 2.0 thread there were numerous people saying you needed on in the 275mm range...here is the ones that amain has:

great, one more thing to buy....

anyone know how long of one i would need in a mbx6e tekno if i ran it under the servo wire guides????? i saw it somewhere once, but now don't remember....

270-275
 

Here is a link to great sensor wire I recommend them.

That's a pretty board question to answer simply because it depends on the servos, how many,etc.

In general the voltage should be above 7v under most loads when on the HV setting. Of course there can be spikes that go lower under severe loads.

In testing we've had no issues with brown outs running HV servos from various manufacturers on the Rx8 gen2 with multiple brand receivers and radio systems.

I can't think of any ESC that comes with a sensor wire that doesn't included a motor.

Did you have the occasion to test some savox HV servos with spektrum receivers? This is a well known combination for causing brownouts :sweat:

So I've never owned a Tekin ESC, but I just placed my pre-order for the Gen2. Is there anything else I need / should purchase, besides the hotwire? I already have a sensor wire...lol (silly comments about it not being included imo since no ESC comes with one...)

Also, where's the best deal on the hotwire?

Hey Randy, question about the EZ Access hotwire port. Will I need the hotwire adapter that's listed on Tower under optional parts for the gen2... if not what is that for? Can you just clarify how the hotwire access port works?
