I've got some information About R1 from a french forum. It's that R1 work really well if you use there motors (sound logical ...) , There setup is a lot torque based, on 1/10 th scale you need to gear like x1.5 taller than other brand (novak/lrp). Some problem of overheating have been report when used with lrp 4.5.

I will give you my point on there motor soon, I want to try one with my MM

All i have read on RC Tech, was that it was the higher turn sensored motors suffered cogging. The novak type 10.5 was ok on the old firmware, it was the 13.5 and up that had troubles. Haven't heard anything about non sensored motors. Does anyone know if the Tekin Red line motors are slotted or not? I bet not if they're motors work without problems

So basicly, those who run the esc with low cell counts and low turned- sensor based motors are the ones who are having problems with it.....

Ok I did order my Tekin redLine motor, I will let you know my point on this motor.

Yes, the new software is nice, the mod motors dont have issues, the 10.5 still has hiccups, and the 13.5 (IMO) is still a no go

OK, got new today on the Tekin Monster system and it looks as if its name is changing. Its not much but it is better than nothing. MMM will still be out before this will. Maybe.

Hi. I have been awaiting and trying to figure out something that no one in the RC world is aware of. When is the MT coming out, how much will it be, and what will the specs be, ect, ect, ect? I goto the website often and still I wait for the Monster to be released. Please if you could shed some light on it I would appreciate it. Thanks

I am going to say about 4 months. We will be releasing the RS next month and than we will finish up the MT I believe the name is going to the RX8 or R8X. I have no idea on price yet. I know it is going to be a beast and is suppose to be able to handle up to a 6s Li-Po pack and will be compatible with motors like the Neu motor etc. and will be compatible with the Tekin Hotwire. . Other than that I do not have a lot of information

If the R1PRO handles 5s lipo, then I hope the RX8 does more then 6s, but I guess even a true 6s esc for a nice-ish price would be good

Tekin is also planning to offer a 1/8 BL controller and motors very soon. We just finished the pcb layouts and are headed to proto boards. We might slip out a concept drawing pretty soon. All the same great features as our 1/10 controller including a sensor plug and switchng BEC. We did go with a top heat sink and fan for extreme power ability.

We have already had success with our R1pro in 1/8 scale also. We have raced it competively with no fan in buggy and truggy with 4s lipo. Just shows how over beefed that controller really is. Not recomended, but you guys rarely pay attention to that anyway. With the kind of mods you are doing to the MM by adding fans it handles it easily......

Tekin Prez

Good good. Sounds like he has been visting RCM secretly, judging by some of those comments.... :whistle:

the prez actually is a member here, so I am sure he checks in to see some of our comments. anyways good to see some for info on there system. Now the qustion is which one will get my $$$$. The mmm, rx8 or novaks new system when that comes out.

From my understanding - it will only handle up to 5s, correct?

there 8th scale one will be made for up to 6s.

Are you sure? The last I heard was they didn't feel they needed to produce anything over 5s. Can someone help out with more detailed info/specs?

Here's what I recall:

I am sure but give me a few minutes and I will find a link for you.
