Perfect - thank-you!

"Properly specced motor" is my middle name

1350-1550 geared for ~75kmh gives me mostly 80A absolute peaks with an occasional 100A

Tekin Prez, when can we expect new esc? Any rumors?

One more question, is RX4 and RX8 software the same in terms of low end start?

I was about to service my T8 GEN3 1900kv motor and replace the bearings, but I can’t get the rear bearing out :/
anyone has tips to get it out when it’s really stuck in there? I put a cylinder in there and tried to tap it out, but it doesn’t move at all.

When I swap the bearings in my nitro engine, it put into the oven. Would that help when I use 80C? Or will I damage something when I put the sensor board with bearing in it?

I tried this. With a small nutdriver on the bearing and tapped it lighly with a hammer. The bearing didn't move half a millimetre :/
I didn't want to tap harder, because when I screw it up, I can't race this weekend, so the rear bearing is still in there. I still spins smooth and without slop, but it's kinda dry so I'd like to replace it. The front bearing was getting sloppy but that one is already replaced.

But did you put f.e. plasticine or something simliar there in the middle?

You can try using a bolt/nut/washers/and a range of sockets.
Bit hard to explain but use an oversize socket on one side to catch the bearing (sort of like a cup).
Use a suitable bolt that the head doesn't completely go through the bearing (the head works against the inner race) but it has to be long enough to have a washer and nut on the other side of the socket.
The bolt is on one side of the bearing, the socket the other to catch the bearing, the washer and nut outside the socket.
You then just hold the nut and tighten the bolt.
It should push the bearing out without you having to use any force which might damage something.

Thanks for the tip! This is a good idea.
I will try this after the weekend.

I have used this method and it works well.

The Rx4 is detuned a little since its job is to go slow and the Rx8's job is to go fast... No one spends much time in the first little bit of throttle on a Rx8 like they do in a Rx4.

We are always working on something... New products or improvements to existing platforms. Rx8 is a pretty solid hardware platform that we do not intend to change physically anytime soon.

I connected the fan that came with my RX8 Gen3 to my receiver (to free up the ESC fan connector for Hotwire use), with BEC voltage 7.4V. The fan ran for 2-3 seconds, then stopped, then a tiny puff of smoke came from the fan. Is the replacement fan that Tekin sells different from the fan that comes with the RX8 Gen3?

The fans we sell seperately are the same as what comes with the Rx8. They are only rated to 5v but should have worked fine on 7.4V. We have even tested them on 8.4v 2s lipo and they seem to work fine. Must have been something damaged in that one if you saw smoke puff and now dead. Perhaps a broken wind in it.

I've found that fans run only one way... if you reverse the power to them, they will let the magic smoke out...
