Any 'spares' for the Neo?

Hey Randy,

Are these still scheduled for release this month - do you know if many are destined for the UK?

Thanks.

[Randy p]

These are on the schedule. Sorry no spared in time for the Neo. We are looking to have some of our team drivers there with the system so keep an eye out.

Not sure who's getting what to be honest.

Im thinkin of getting a rx8 for my conversion. Does anyone know if brakes can be turned off on the esc so i can run a servo for brakes instead?

Jamie.......

Awesome, now if only Tekin will launch a sensored micro motor to compete with the Mongoose my life will be complete.

there is an option, called Brake Strength (this is accessed through either onboard programming or the hotwire), you could turn the BS down to 0, which would give you no brakes at all.

[Jamie.T]

Great, cheers Steve. Dont suppose you know when the system is arriving in the uk do you? and also where would be the best place to get one from?

Jamie......

[DCM]

you would need to contact MuchMoore UK, or another stockist, the shop in my sig line can order it, so when it is out, they will get it from the states for you.

[Randy p]

Steve is on it! Yes I plan on running a setup with direct drive and mechanical brakes vai the Tekno RC conversion for my Losi 2.0.

Might be a silly question, but how do you use the servo brake then?

Do you just plug the 3rd channel on a 3channel radio?

[Chris Doughty]

I am no Tekin expert but I imagine its a Y cable so that the speedo and the brake servo plug into ch2 on the reciever.

then you set your radio so that the brake servo is right, then setup the speedo's high point and neutrel and stuff (however that is done)

[DCM]

you would set the ESC up with EPA for brake and throttle at 100% on your transmitter. Then you would turn the brake down to 0% on the ESC, use a Y-Lead like Chris said, then set the brake up on the car/transmitter.

[Billy]

Nice! Thank you guys. Mechanical brakes all the way! Adjustable also!

[Randy p]

I mix the 3rd channel on my radio system to use the servo. No extra harness and I can adjust it seperate from the esc. Works great.

[spenner]

Received my RX8/T8 system today ready for the Neo and compared to what i have seen of other 8th Elec speedos this really does look the part....

Looking forward to getting it installed and giving the car it's maiden run....

Big thanks to all you guys a Tekin.... i was sweating

[Dunc]

Good news John! - pictures please

[Randy p]

HA HA HA,

Sorry it took some time. We needed to make sure that the reverse setup software was good to go for the Caster buggy you're running. Get off the net and get to work!

Heard that some of these blew up at the neo ?
