Input Voltage: 4S - 2250V / 2000kV
5S - 1700kV / 1550kV
6S - 1350kv

Make sure to get the Truggy (4038 ) version of the Tekin motors.

I have a 1700 I will be putting in mine. Will run 4s and 6s with it.

thinking try a viper 1/8 set up in it

First off let me start off by saying I am new to the RC world and am about to buy a Yeti XL kit. I am considering three motors and esc's. 1. Mamba monster 1/8 2200kv. 2. Tekin TT2325 2250kv with the RX8. 3. Novak Activ8 2200kv with the V2/HD8 esc. (The Novak is not releasing until March.) With that said I plan on running 4s batteries and like the Mamba and Novak versions because the esc's are sealed. I really want the Tekin but I would have to be careful to keep it dry. What I am hoping for is feedback from other would be XL kit builders/owners to chime in on what they plan on installing. Im also interested in hearing about servo considerations.

Here is what I bought. Very impressive value! Only downfall is waiting on the shipping

Can the BEC on the MM2 deliver enough current to support a high torque servo (like a Hitec HSB 9380TH) without an external BEC? Thanks

You will need a external BEC regardless of the ESC you use. The Tekin RX8 will support 7.4v I believe but it's still recommended to run an external BEC.

Kinda what I thought, just needed to hear someone say it :-)

sanny that 1900kv is a buggy motor...recommend a truggy or 4038 style from tekin .... I actually purchased the 4038 motor in 1700kv and plan to run double 5s lipos....

[chewie]

running one servo from the tekin gen2 esc .... its designed to handle more...no external bec needed.

This is a solid and waterproof combo http://m.ebay.com/itm/321668199832?nav=SEARCH

Cafeful, I just got blasted for suggesting this ESC a few days ago lol.

Seems folks on this forum have made their mind up and will not try Hobbywing.

Up until a year ago I was a Castle fanboy and I had a reason. Because they work great. I was a little tight last year and tried a Hobbywing Xerun 150a and all I can say is wow! It blew me away with its powerful internal BEC and smooth powerband on even sensorless motors. I had to fine tune my Mamba Monster 2 to run without cogging, but the Xerun 150 worked great right out of the box. Ran cooler too!

Only time will tell if the Hobbywing stuff will hold up long term,but for now I am planning to install the motor combo below in my Axial Yeti XL kit.
