This has been discussed in the electric off rouad forum for almost two weeks now. There will be no RS Pro Gen2. That I beleive where the RSX will come in.
And NO, your buddy doesnt have one yet. only team drivers do. You will se it at Amain before your LHS gets it. Tekin will fill the most demanding orders first.

I believe the 'RSX' is supposed to be a different ESC altogether from the current lineup.. And correct, there will not be an 'RS Pro Gen2', however from what I hear, there might be a completely new ESC to fill this void!

Got excited. In the market for a new 1/10 scale speedo. Loved the specs (especially the bec), UNTIL I saw the 8.5 motor limit. Not liking that.

Hmmm, Tower has them listed already as order pending. Hopefully it wont be long. Think I might want to sell one or two of my current ones to try out the new version.

Currently 8.5 in my T4.1 & 2wd SC10. Don't like running an esc at it's max handling capabilities. Plus I might feel extra manly and throw in a 5.5 and show everyone how fast I can dnf due to breakage. Lol! At least they'll be releasing a mod version. Just hope it won't be too long cuz I'm hoping to buy soon (once my wife gives me permission ).
