That is awesome! Counting the minutes till I get mine!

Any current monitoring capabilities?

As data logging is a new feature, additional features will be added as soon as possible. Current was mentioned as a future update.

When will the RX8 2250KV Motor/ESC Combo be available and will it include the Hotwire with the Combo?

Not an official answer, but...
Strong rumors (from people in the know in this thread) have hinted (given the name for) a new tekin motor, t8i. I don't expect to see an "official" package until those are released. Some online retailers will probably make their own packages with the current t8 though. I have yet to see a package from tekin that includes the Hotwire (rx8, rs, rs pro, or rs gen2). But, again, some retailer might package it up.

going to hook up a T8 1900Kv motor. can anyone tell me the amp draw of this motor? I want to buy the right batteries as I have been seeing people run 20 c batteries at my track and looking to make sure its enough.

Mark. I run a cheap Turnigy battery for most races with mine. I think it is 30-40c rated. Works great. 1/8 is so over powered you should not have an issue. Also the battery has not puffed after more than a year of use. My experience may vary from yours though. I have run it @ J & S, Pasco, & Cabin Fever--it worked great. I also have a Reedy 60c. To be honest I would have a hard time distinguishing between them other than the weight difference.

Hi everyone

First post here


Does anybody know if the new RX8 gen2 will be included in the up in coming combos from A-main or towerhobbies? or should I just buy them separately to be on the safe side.

Yes they are selling as combos when they come out here is an example go to the link and scrolled down .

are these shipping next week?

I hope so.... but I wouldn't hold my breath I was told from one retailer that they had more pre orders then in coming stock

I am going to be refreshing amain every few minutes on "The Day"

Think I'm going to have to get a Viper VTX8 to run with my Tekin T8 motor since I have had (2) RX8 Gen 2's on Back order at (2) different places and my RC8.2e FT is collecting dust
