Quick question
Is it possible to use part number TEKTT2514 to replace the solder tabs on my T8?
Or do I have to buy a complete rebuild kit?
Thanks in advanced

What's the RX8 do if the sensor PCB in the T8 motor goes bad?

My RX8 is beeping and ramping the LEDs in sets of three when I turn it on with the sensor cable plugged in. It's as though it's doing a factory reset over and over again. The fan also runs while this is happening....

When I unplug the sensor wire, the RX8 starts up fine, but all the settings are back to the factory defaults (ie. no voltage cutoff etc...)

Would this indicate the sensor PCB in the T8 is broken?

Hey guys, if you have a nice late-gen rx8 for sale for less than new (think TH + rebates as the current street price), shoot me a pm and price, I could very well be interested... thanks!

I still can't get my Hotwire to work. When I double click the icon, I get a little box that says update, help and exit. When I click "update" I get a message that says, "unable to connect to the internet, try again later". I have no other options to click, how can i get the window to adjust my settings, i.e, brakes, etc?

That means the hotwire is working but the connection the esc isn't.

So are you plugged into ONLY the esc, not a y harness,etc?

Does the esc display one red flickering led when attached to the Hotwire?

What esc is it? Does the esc operate in the car?

Only plugged into the esc.

yes, one red flickering light - the green light on the hotwire itself flickers also

it is the RX8, it works great in the car.

Those are definitly connectors, possibly self-made. It's not worth the time, you will lose to much power..not to mention they don't look very tight/secure.
