Still waiting on the new RSX ESC & Motor to hopefully make it by this Sat (last indoor at my Track). I was hoping to see a bit more activity in here and get some tips and tricks, but it appears all the RSX owners are too busy driving

I soldered everything up and was disapointed with my ESC and wiring layout,I took a break and did some online research and found that Randy Pike has a how to write up with pictures of an RSX in an XB4. I'm very happy I resoldered my wires and copied his set up and was even more impressed when I drove it down the road, thing flies

It's not. It's an upgrade over an rs pro. Runs much cooler with low turn motors.

Some one have the dimensions of the fan? Mine is broken from the factory and I can not find anywhere (tower,amain). The # is TT3833, if some one know a decent replacement fan, I would like to know. My esc came back at 145 and motor 120 after 7-8 minutes running no fan with timing profile #2 everything else is stock and a tekin redline gen2 6.5T. I think I need a fan on my RSX.

Fred,

Hit me up with a copy of your receipt and your shipping info, a pic of the fan. I'll make sure you get a new one.

If those temps are accurate, you're not going to need one. But you deserve to have a working one regardless.

Anyone have any gearing advice to start with for a sm/med indoor 70-80' straight for an XB4 running the RSX / 6.5T combo, I'm not sure what a good starting baseline is.

Running an RSX with Tekin Gen 2 5.5 in my 22-4 and looking for a starting point for setups. I've searched on RC tech and Tekin's website and can't locate a starting set up for this combo and this car. TIA!!

I too need a fan for the rsx.... Thermalled out on Saturday in an A main with 45 secs to go...... But this is just my gearing and setup I think.

Noticed though that one of the fan blades is snapped off..I think this added to the heat as the fan was unbalanced and must have stressed the bearing, generating heat...

The dimensions are 7x23mm.... Bygone know where I could get a fan this size that will sit on the rsx????
