Anyone know what a used Tekin 8.0Kv system is worth?

[olds97_lss]

Well, I have a tekin 8.0Kv brushless system that came in a mini LST that I got off a friend. I don't have a need for the kind of power/speed that it puts out and I've swapped back to "normal" motors. Well, one normal motor at the moment...

Regardless, anyone know what it's worth?

Kind of pricey when it's new...

Depending on what kind of shape it is in, I would probably pay $85 to $100 for it. The best way I have found to determine the prices is to hit ebay and see if anyone is selling them used. It is a great setup so I would imagine it will still fetch a decent price. Just my opinion of course! Good luck my friend.

It pretty much looks new. The guy I got it from ran one pack through it. He did all the upgrades and stuff during the winter and ran it indoors once just to make sure it worked. I ran 5... in a parking lot.

100.00 is about right. Seems to be what all the Mini systems used are going for.

IMO keep the ESC and get a 6.5. I'm running the the 6.5 and it has plenty of controllable power. Your other option is to loose a cell and run on a 5 pack.

Keeping ESC and going with a smaller motor is a great idea. The Tekin setup is really nice. I also run the 6.5 in my 18T and it runs great.

What are you running it in? What kind of run times?

Thanks.

I would again agree with the $100 sale price. As far as run times go, I get about 20 minutes off a 1400 mah NiMh pack with a Mamba sport setup i(6800 kv) in both my RC18t and 18r.

Wow! Maybe it has something to do with the 8K motor. Or maybe the pack really was on it's last leg... before it melted.
