Got a question about the Tekin RSX ESC and its max chassis weight rating of 4lbs. Bought this esc over a year ago, I'm super busy with two kids and a wife, job and life so I am just now installing it and while tying to see why some folks run the RX8 over the RSX, I happened to be checking specs. Unfortunately this is when I noticed something I didn't notice when I decided to go with the RSX. According to Tekin it's got a max "chassis weight" of 4lbs...I weighed my crawler in my hands on my scale and realized it's a pig, so am I, hahaha. It came in at over 8 pounds :shock:. So, will I have to sell this esc at a discount even though I have never used it yet? Does anyone know why an esc would have a max chassis weight if it can clearly pull the ROC 12 3100 if motor I chose? I am worried it won't work at this weight. Please help? I already emailed Tekin but it's Sunday and I know I won't hear back from them for a couple days.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am running a wraith with damage stiffy kit, VP Currie axels, their links, their 2.2 wheels, Tekin RSX and ROC 412 3100kv, super Shafty trains with 15t 32pitch....like I said, it's close to 8lbs :oops:

Thanks for the help people
