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.

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.

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?
