Even with how long the Tekin has been sitting around? Its been in a box, melted, for like a year now. Also, I didn't buy it. It came on a truggy that I purchased used. Honestly it may not be worth it regardless, as my new Truggy setup will also be getting the T8 2000Kv motor for more torque and less speed. So thats $160 for a new motor plus $120 for replacement RX8 plus shipping to Tekin for the replacement ESC. To be honest, $320 for a whole new setup is about the same cost, plus I cant do it right now, my new project will be taking place sometime later this summer after I move to Seattle.
