Tekin RX8 GEN3/Redline T8 GEN3 1/8 Buggy Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (2650kV)
I have the 2250kv Truggy combo in my Tekno ET48.3, so when I ordered my SCT410.3 I figured I would go crazy and drop this 2650kv combo in it being I had just bought a bunch of the Protek Graphene 4s 6500mah LiHV batteries, and it's obviously way too much power for a 4wd short course, but man is it fun! Throwing 8 foot dirt roosts and getting near 25 minute run times at the track is awesome. Tekin is the only way to go...

UPDATE: I ordered the Tekno EB48.4 and swapped this combo into the new buggy. Wow, this thing is crazy on 4s. It was completely overkill in the short course, and I can see why most guys use the 1900kv motor in the e-buggies. I'm going to order that combo for mine then use the extra RX8 for the SCT410.3 and grab the Tekin 4300 HD Pro4. These things make ridiculous power. Ove never even hit full throttle on the track haha.

This combo was placed on Xray GTXE.2 kit. As I had no idea what kv is suitable for 1/8GT, I choose fastest one. Tekin items is so useful for me. Setting is also easy to start. I am very happy to enjoy my GTXE.2. But it is too fast to control completely!!
