Just to clear up the 'some of these blowing up at the Neo'....
I managed to install the RX8/T8 in my car Thursday night minutes before the Neo guys kicked me out for the night.
We went out in practice and having never run an Electric 8th before i didn't know what to expect.
I managed to over jump the large jump in the centre of the track and after a heavy landing the car stopped. Remember i hadn't done any settings or anything it was put in and go!!
When we plugged the car in on the pit table one of the caps blew... nothing major. Due to the heavy impact this may have worked loose and caused a small short. Remember this is why Tekin have been testing them to make sure YOU the end user has the very best. The speedo is not fatal and will be back in use very soon.
I ran my second RX8 for the remainder of the meeting to good success putting the car in the A main, small car issues resulted in a not so high finish after the finals but i can say that people will not be disappointed in the RX8 system... The sensored system is unique to anything else and helped with me being able to apply smooth throttle out of corners. Speed was out of this world... I ended up runnning the 1950kv motor on a 15 tooth pinion and there wasn't much keeping up with it down the straight.
Just like the RS Pro the RX8 is top of it's class... and the T8 motors well.... looks and performance!!
Jim and Randy were always available to help me through the Neo as i was running a reversed software due to the Caster running the motor at the front.. With there help i was able to get the car sorted. Once again showing that Tekin support is 2nd to none.
I will be at various meetings including 10th Off Road Nationals and i will have my Elec 8th with me complete with Tekin system for anyone who wants to try it out.
All the best
John Spencer
