thats a bum deal. Hope this doesn't change your opinion of Tekin too much. I ran an original black heatsink RX8 in my Losi 8e a while back and now a newer unit in my RC8Be and never had a problem with either so hopefully you just had a bad unit. Better luck with the next one bud!
I know Jason, I can't believe it either. It seems to me like there may have been something wrong with it from the beginning. I had trouble with the lights even coming on in the beginning. First time I turned it on, I got no lights. Updated the software and I get lights. Doesn't make sense. More like something is loose inside and it's causing this thing to blink out. Either way, I'm not messing with it anymore since I watched smoke come out of it. If it happens again, I'll get it fixed and get a MMP.
