Official Tekin RX8 GEN2 ESC Thread

Cut the switch off and solder the wires together. The switch will fail eventually so might as well save yourself a DNF.

You can but I'd suggest finding out why the cap is blowing in the first place. This is often the sign of weak batteries, or a shorted motor.

I have a 87/24 gearing and the motor is overheating after about 10min driving,
"thermal protection", but the RSX has never been warm at all...
I use a new Nano Tech 5,1 saddle pack for battery
I will try to go down on the pinion,because the 410 is flying with a 24T pinion,
I belive there will not be a BIG loss in speed from a 24T pinion to a 20 or 21

I'm very disappointed with this Tekin, I though that it will be a product of better quality, I bought the RX8gen2/4030 1900KV motor combo, and after just one day of practice the ESC is now giving the 'Wrong Motor' error. I just sent it to Tekin for warranty, now the waiting game... I bet it will take at least 2 weeks to get it back.

Once we receive them in, they don't stay very long.

Has anyone had a issue with intermittent throttle on their RX8 Gen 2,I've tried 2 different 1900 T8's with the same results.Was running on a very slick track. Would just loose throttle but had steering and it would come back after a few seconds. Checked all wiring

Radny, i'm just curious: is it possible to add motor thermal cutoff into ESC firmware? Anyway ESC can see motor' temps (logging it), why not add adjustable therm. cutoff with 'no limit' value to esc?
