+1 on that question

Picked up two at my lhs, installed one, it's randomly cutting out when landing jumps..

Noticing the same thing with my Castle in my 8ight 2.0, i bought two GEN2's and a couple t8's though. going all Tekin, i am already running two other Gen 1 RX8's with two t8's.. I figured i would try Castle but man, it's just not a Tekin, i noticed it big time today on a high bite indoor track.

on/off switch screwing up

A lot of us are using this gel mounting tape. The sudden shock can make it stop working for a few seconds. This is a common problem on the Gen 1, too. Since we began using this gel tape, it has never happened again.

well i got two gen2 and the one works awesome but the other went up in a ball of flames soon as i hit the gas the first time im really hopping tekin will replace it for me. that was 200 bucks gone in about 5 secs. i have two of the gen1 and never had a problem once with them in two years.

Ive never had that problem with my other two Tekins but ive seen that gel before, i may try it..

Make sure you don't have any wires routed over the buttons. On a hard landing they can press the button & send it to program mode for a few seconds, just long enough for a marshal to get there, pick it up, & fiddle with it for another 30 seconds costing you a lap (ask me how I know).

220 Amps according to FET manufacturer spec sheet.

Got my wondering, you guys at the factory must have data about how much it can really handle over certain time?

No

Please list the following:

Battery? Connectors used? Radio Receiver? Servo? Motor? Setup?

Is there a chart for each LED value for CL without Hotwire?

Sorry if I missed something but that link only shows how to adjust CL using hotwire. I'm wondering what the values of the 13 different LED settings are when just using the buttons on the RX8. Or are there only 13 settings total and if you go into Hotwire it will tell you what all the values are? Sorry for the dumb questions just trying to learn.

Protek 100C 4S 6700mah / Deans / Futaba / Savox (BEC set at 6.0) / T8 2050 / Running your setup from the Tekin page pretty much with a little less drag brake.

It's not wires bumping anything, the installation is very clean.

Only thing i can think of is the BEC board or it's thermo-ing and kicking back on, the buggy (losi 2.0) it's in, is not actually mine but i race with the guy and we both bought one, he put his in, ive yet to put mine in yet. The bad thing is, he is not a very good mechanic yet so i will try and run his buggy Wed and see what it's actually doing.

I am going to install mine tonight..
