Get over your depression and call Tekin. They'll give you an RMA number and get you sorted out. My RX8 was sixteen months old when a power cap popped so I had to pay like eighty bucks for them to replace it with a new three hole RX8. I was getting ready for a big race at the time and bought a RX8 for the race while I was waiting to get the new RX8 from Tekin so now I have a back-up speedo, which makes me sleep better at night before a big race. These eighth scale buggies are so hard on electronics that it's probably a good idea to have two of everything anyways...
