I may have over looked this, but does HW 2.0 work until HW 3.0 is released(PC)?

Thank you ! We really do put out heart and soul into these products and consider every customer part of our family. We are one of the few companies left that is family owned and operated and really designs the products that keep the technology moving forward instead of just picking a color...

The HW3.0 with Blue tooth is very close.... We have had a few unexpected delays.

How close? Like April close or ... Q4 2017 close? And will it work with on iOS and also with Gen 2 ESCs?

Thanks

Yes, I'm using the 2.0 with the gen 3 right now.

I'm working on some updated info guys. We know this is a big deal for you all and you're looking for info.

Stay tuned.

Just wanted to hop in say say that I've never used padded tape under my rx8's or gen 2 rx8's. I use the 3 screw holes. I've never broken a single esc. I also know how to solder and drive though. If I broke chassis braces, a servo and my esc in one race I would retire.

My single complaint would be a better switch housing. I use the single screw side mount but the plastic is thin and gives up eventually. Switch works fine though.

Lucky you. I was lucky like that with one out of the 4. Fortunately for me I switch to HW and no issues in over a year running them.
Even not finishing qualifiers due to ESC failure I still locked the A main in both classes with over 150+ entries in the class and 50+ on the other. I guess I should retire like you suggested. LMAO :D
I can solder as well. And I am good at it too, that's why I am still getting a paycheck every week tho. LOL ;)

It seems if you are able to use the ESC without padded tape or gel, great!

I've noticed with at least the RX8 Gen 2, that as I was learning to drive if the chassis slapped really hard and/or after a bad crash.. the ESC at times would blink out. When I moved to mounting the ESC on a plate with the Kyosho gel, those problems went away. Having said that, my driving has also improved.. but I've kept the plate and gel in place.

Kudos to the Tekin team for the new HD posts.. it has made soldering immensely easier and I'm much more confident in the durability of the Gen 3's as a result.

Oh crap. Did I accidentally post in a hw thread? ;)

I don't know.... You said that you can drive and solder... Now, how is your reading comprehension skills?

Knock it off guys. This random banter is what ruins forums and turns most people off.

For every one of you that post, 20 more will read it.

streetsports 04-13-2017 11:19 AM

Sorry randy. I won't post anymore in your thread. Don't want 20 more people to read it. Great job on the gen3.


"Something about winning attracts losers with opinions......"......this probably isnt needed. May turn people away from tekin.
