The Rx8 is always in dual mode. So as long as your'e using a sensored motor, harness,etc yes it's reading the sensors.

also 70/30 ratio meaning for EXPF/EXPB?

thx !!!

The throttle ratio is defaulted to 50/50. Not sure why.

If you read the manual it states that with anything other than a BLS servo you should run "normal" mode. At least on the 4pk+ manual.

See how is says "Charging cable" that means no data lines in the cable. No worky.

Thanks

right and thx! but just want to be clear, you mean the team typically runs with EXPF/EXPB at 70/30 throttle?

Yes. Nearly all competition radios are defaulted to 70/30 instead of 50/50.

EPA's or "Travels" should be 100/100.

Looks like control board issue - you can try factory reset, procedures are in the manual or you can look on Tekin's site. If that doesn't work, it'll have to go back to Tekin for repair. I just had to send mine in for the reset issue after a hard landing. Good news is that Tekin service is pretty quick and it'll be in great shape when you get it back.

We'll need to see it. It may just be a power board.

Contact [email protected] or [email protected] for an RMA# and get it sent in.

Randy, just curious...

Is it possible within the firmware to make the CL time adjustable? Like say I was at a low grip outdoor track and wanted it to take 2 or 2.5 seconds to ramp up to uncorked power. Maybe just one second on high grip.
