I run 8 scale primarily and I'm running the rx8 with the scx4 5.5 and it's plenty fast. I'm running 62/16 and the motor and esc come off around 105-110. I did run this at night when it was cooler out but I don't think it would go up to much. I'm running on 2s with the current limit at like 80. If u go to tekin website there is a setup for the sc10 with a 4.5 motor and just go from there. Another guy at the track runs a Lrp sxx tc version 2 and it's alot smaller and he has had no issues. Hope that helps.

1) Tekin RX8
2) Motor - Undecided, but possibly the Tekin SC4X 550 (6.5T)
One more Question, will the RX8 run on a 2S LiPo pack without any problems, or does it require a 3-4 or even 5-6S pack?
Again any help would be awsome, and this may already have been answered in another area of RCTech. I just figured that since this is the SC10 4x4 thread that you guys could give me more defined and specific information... Thanks!!
