I will also run an rx8 in my Tekno SCT410 when it comes out.

3 months is nothing, wait a few months more
The RX8 even in its last version isn't the most reliable esc out there, and I'm saying this while owning it and loving all its features and tekin's support. I bought many of them.
If your RX8 fails you can always replace it for less than 100$ by contacting tekin. The brand is great when it comes down to customer service.
Best speedo for its features, just not strong enough. I compared it to many other ESC in various conditions
BTW if you think your RX8 is smooth, try a 120A Hobbywing or a MMP (with a BEC). They're smoother..and cheaper too
