Because it would have cost more? :D I understand they didn't modify the board, added a led and changed the case just for this.

Now I need to remove the red annodizing on my motors to match the new color scheme. lol!

I'll paint my M11X also :lol:

It's the good time for a new speedo, good job Tekin

I assume they ran out of blinking lights to assign. But this is not something you would change often, but you would need to buy the hotwire or fine someone with it. The funny thing is, I know a lot of guys that run the tekin rx8 in sc and 8th scale and none of them have a hotwire. I suspect they dont care about fine tuning and just run it blinky with the current limited. If your not using the boost features, the hotwire is not a great thing aside from firmware updates. I am sure someone in town has one and updates the firmware for guys, no idea who it is though. But it would be nice to be able to see what the voltage on the bec is set too. Is there a way to reset to factory defaults from the esc alone? I only say this because of the used resale market. If someone has it at 7.4volts and sell it to a guy that has a 6v only receiver and servo, it could fry his electronics. If they could just reset to factory defaults with a long press or something, then that would be nice.

That is a sexy looking radio. Seriously, nice.

+1 on the hotwire, if you own a RX8 it's a MUST HAVE. The TEKIN software is so advanced it really makes a difference on the track.

you can do a factory reset by turning on the esc and holding inc and mode for about 3 seconds then the leds will ramp up to confirm

well there you go. if you buy one used and dont have a hotwire, do a factory reset before using. aside from the BEC voltage, its good practice. That is a very nice feature to have btw.

what is the amperage provided by the BEC?

So...i received a new/refurb rx8 from Tekin a few days ago. It has the black anodized heat sink also, does this mean anything? No white case tho...so probably not a Gen2.

probably not

where is the easy access port? I just see the sensor port. Just curious

it's a Gen1 for sure, they put a black heatsink on their last Gen1 RX8 because they had no stock of red ones anymore ;)

Does the BEC provide 7A under 7V? That's massive :)

nm. wow, 7amps...that is a lot. Now savox needs to make a servo that pulls 10amps so we can fry more things, lol.

Is that the new iPhone?
