Looks like Tower finally got some in. My order from May 3rd is processing but my not my other order from the 10th.

My order from the 7th hasn't changed, still says "late June" :(

RPM, Voltage, an temp are very good streams to follow during a run. While I agree amp draw is and can be important I'd argue that mah use vs. run time is simply and effective as well in regard to competing.

that would be AWESOME if there was an update to log amps and mah use. i have the 150a eagle tree logger that does amps, tps, volts (watts obviously since it does amps and volts) and mah. only problem is it read 178a on asphalt with your pro4hd in an scte and Eagle Tree said don't do that again.

is there currently something in the esc the can read amps? or would that be a hardware upgrade?

Im in the UK and looking to order one of these. I have been following the thread and just read back from page 1 to here.
Looks like i will have to wait for UK stock or order from the US when one is available ?

Tekin - can you advise if any have been sent to the UK Distributor RCDisco ?

Thanks
Ben

Any news on this "better than a program card" upgrade? Im converting over to tekin with the new RX8, but don't want to drop another $30 for hotwire if something else is on the horrizon.

Hi Bob when will be you getting more RX8s ? also might be getting a motor esc combo for my truggy .

178 amps sounds kinda ridiculous, likely a current spike during a hard start,etc.. This is part of the issue with data logging amps. The average Joe may not know what to do with the info.

Don't worry about buying the Hotwire at this time, we've secured it's future with our "other" option.

And that would be?

@Tinman

If I was allowed to tell you exactly what it was, I would have. Trust me sitting here at my desk knowing what it is and not being able to share it quite tough to do....

timannnn6 06-18-2013 09:31 AM

Fair enough. I guess we'll just have to wait.
