The RX8 Gen 1 and Gen 2 BEC is switching.



2 choices, 6.0v or 7.4v.



Will be shipping this month.

Will be shipping this month, huh? I guess May 31 is still this month. This anticipation is killing me!

Now June 8.

Not sure why people thought the amain date meant anything? You have randy here saying we'll let you know when they ship. He hasn't said they shipped. Pretty hard for amain to sell something that hasn't shipped yet.

This sucks because I have a brand new Serpent Cobra 811e 2.0 sitting on my shelf sans electronics. I would rather race it than look at it!

It wasn't a ETA, I have one on backorder with them, it actually said "this item will be in stock on May 17th" but then on Friday they erased it, now it says June 8th I believe. Either way, this sucks, I have a new RC8.2e Factory Team collecting dust. I'll wait till the 8th and see what happens, if it gets postponed more, I may just get something else for now so I can run my car! :D

Got to run one of these yesterday in a SCT410 and it worked flawlessly on a large outdoor 1/8 scale track. The new BEC was great and power delivery was extremely smooth. First tried running the BEC at 6.0 and was able to remove the glitch buster capacitor. Bumped the BEC voltage to 7.4 and it still worked perfectly without a cap. Great job Tekin.

How does this gen 2 compare to the viper vtx8?

Gene158 05-19-2013 08:51 AM

It's a shame this esc is taking so long to ship. I've been waiting almost 3 months for an rx8, originally the first gen which wasn't available. After the gen 2 was announced, I figured I'd wait for that. But as I said, I've already waited nearly 3 months and I can't wait any longer so Viper got my business.

Damn Gene. If I knew that I would of sold you my viper. :lol: I ordered it then the next day tekin announced the gen2. So I sold the viper on here still new in the box. Now I wait for a gen2 so I can have both tekno's running.
