I saw that today and couldn't believe it. I'm assuming they think club members will use the club perks an still think they got a deal. I'm a club member but its not worth it. I back ordered one today through amain.

Tower is like that - their price is always higher than other places (even with club discounts) until the item is in stock and old stock is sold off.

When the RX8 Gen2 combos were first available on Tower they were $389 while the Gen1 combos were only $339. Now that all the Gen1 combos are sold out on Tower, the Gen2 combos are $339 (which is $289 with club discount).

199 on stormer hobbies

Yup it will work with the pro 2 as long as it's not in a heavy rig.

tower has adjusted their price to match amain.

any word on the App? :)

Stormer > amain

Comparing specs to the RS gen 2, Im not seeing much difference only in the ability to run lower turn motors with the RSX and the obvious heat sink body. I run the sc10 and usually only run a 9.5 at my track, but may throw in an 8.5 every once in a while, so should I go with the RS gen 2 or the RSX?

I run a 8.5 in my 22-SCT and not problems at all. You can go either way with what you are running but you do not need an RSX. The RSX filling the need for a pure mod speedo for lower turn mod motors.

Is anyone running the RSX in mod at IIC?

Anyone from Tekin have an ETA on this yet?????

tower says late October!!!

Amain has moved the date up to 10/23. If true.... the RSX is only a week away.



.....and STILL not a single word from Tekin about ETA. Good lookin' out for your loyal customers, Tekin! :rolleyes:

tower has moved back their date to November for the esc only. Systems say late October still. I'm going to wait until tower has it so I can use the member discount.

Probably will be cheaper to get it from stormer , towers prices always seem high to me .

stormer says 199 where as tower and amain are 229, but if you are a tower member the price is the same as stormer. So, I usually will order some other parts that I need to bump up to the next discount and I save more.

You can't go off what the sites have listed for an ETA, they are guessing and will keep moving it back until they receive stock. Patience, grasshopper, it is coming. It performed excellent at Worlds and IIC last week. Team Drivers will start seeing them very soon.

Bummer got a 4x4 buggy I was looking to put a system in for the fall racing season. Had my Gen2 in it with a 13.5 but the other guys were running me over down the long straights.

Drop to a 7.5 motor.

this!

Not with the gen2 RS. Motor limit is 8.5. You could get away with an 7.5 in a 2wd buggy but not 4wd.

I'm done with a dead car and the refusals to help us with a rough ETA. It's becoming clear the RSX won't be here until next year.

You've proven impatient on more than one occasion. We will not give a date until the units are packaged and shipping out, period. Nobody is refusing to hep you.

We're not willing to risk a date based on outside factors that are times, outside of our control. We can however share a date once we are actually shipping units out the door, which let's be honest is the entire point right?

We want everyone to enjoy the RSX as fast as we can.

I think his point is that 1-2 weeks notice is too short. Tekin does not want their feet held to the fire with a firm date. I was surprised when TLR said 4 weeks the buggy will be here and it actually happened. Most companies have issues and miss the estimated ship date.

My frustrations stem from Tekin leaving me without an esc for pong periods... twice now. RS pro stock was depleted long ago. I would gladly buy one today if I could. I love tekin, want to run tekin, but am stuck with a dead car and no racing all because i want to stay with tekin. Is this being viewed as a legitimate problem within the company and what exactly is wrong with saying "We are trying for a _____ date". No product, no help, no eta, no running car.... is becoming routine.

There you go. Have a good day. BTW it took all of 30 seconds to find one in stock on google.

The problem with giving a date is if customers don't have that product by that date then they start whining on the internets and claiming they have been lied to or ripped off. Most companies don't even tell you what they are working on. You just find out when it hits the shelf.

What is the lowest turn motor I could put in my B44.2 using my RS Gen two without over working it????

the rs gen 2 is not rated for a 4wd application

You keep posting this info and it's simply not true. Not only can you still find RS Pro's in stock but I too have sent you links to places that had them, for good prices.

We never failed to tell people the RS Pro would be phased out of the way for the RSX. Show me another esc company on ANY public forum offering me the level of support we do? I've already told you that an ETA will be given as units are leaving out the door, that's your ETA.

Nobody is holding you back but yourself. Please knock it off.

This can depend on a few factors. How much bite you have, esc settings, gearing,etc.

I've ran a 10.5 in one with some boost that was reasonably fast but it still isn't a 6.5.

Used RS Pro's are easy enough to find as well as new ones. It'd be a great back up to the RSX once they're out.

Believe the limit on RS g2 is 8.5t

I definitely can't disagree. I've been reading the whole Tekin ESC "roadmap" on this forum for months. The scope of designing, testing, sourcing, production and distribution of basically a whole new ESC product range is no small task. Gen2 RS, RX8 Gen2, Gen2 RS spec, Gen2 RS one cell....

Can't wait for it to be out and all can just laugh at how they acted on this thread. Let's get back to enjoying this great hobby and hanging with friends at the track.

The 8.5 is in a 2wd, I was asking for a 4x4 buggy, which won't handle a a 8.5. A friend of mine is loaning me a Viper to go with my 7.5 Gen2 motor. That will get me by until the RSX ships out. I tried a 13.5 in the 4x4 and the other guys were literally running over me down the straight, and I don't want to tear them up. I realize the RS is not really made for 4x4's just using it to get some time in. I geared it safe and kept the temps around 180 on the esc using the 13.5.

Would you recommend this for a 1/10th 4wd touring car running a 4.5 on a large track?

This is exactly what the RSX was made for.

I have five tekin speedos and three motors, I've only had an issue with one motor and tekin handled it very quickly and professionally. I'm looking forward to getting the Rsx. Thank you tekin for always delivering high level products! :nod: The Rsx will be worth the wait :tire:

No one is complaining about Tekin's support (or the needed time and r&d on new product like the RSX).Not sure why you would even go there. You also didn't send me any links. Regardless, I support my LHS.... a Tekin dealer...not some 3rd rate shop in some obscure corner of the internet that someone bragged about finding. A quick google search will show anyone how available the RS Pro is not so let's please not act like I'm the only one "holding myself back". Tekin should be happy to have customers who support them enough by choosing to have a dead car, no racing, and frustration over being forced to switch brands. It's a choice in Tekin's favor but I guess they all should "knock it off". A ROUGH eta or general time frame could help ease the pain and most companies are prepared to address that. ESPECIALLY when making a new product announcement.

does sometime soon count as an eta?
