Fair question, and I would probably still go with the MMM. I've had the MGM and it's great but I like the programmability of the MMM as well as the "feel" of it while driving. I believe the MGM was much more efficient though since it was brushless only. Liked it's mounting and packaging better too. I see your point though and I think it's valid. There's not a lot to choose from right now.

I am looking forward to Tekin's release too and have seen them testing it here at our track with nice results on 4s. I think they will have a great product. I also feel that when CC gets the right parts installed their ESC will be great for 80% of the people wanting to get into brushless without spending $300 on the ESC alone.

Why be careful? Opinions on a forum are not going to damage their reputation. If anything has caused any damage, it's the MMM itself. We have a large group of conversion guys around here and we know what works/what doesn't. It's very clear to us that CC did not do their homework. No, we don't know how they did their testing. Whatever they did though, was not enough. Nobody's making up these stories about failures and for the most part, people have been very understanding. I don't know why everyone's so careful about being critical. I know CC has been a great company to us all and we're giving them a free pass on this one. Still, you can call the MMM what it is at this point...a big disappointment.

So when will we see this 1/8 controler from Tekin.After you have driven Nitro then crossed over to Brushless you never want to go back.How long is it going to take to offer a reliable controler that can take the punishment.This 1/8 Brushless market is going to explode and whoever can design a Speed control that will stand the test of time is going to be be considered the golden standard = to companies like Neu.I have been checking the Tekin website for any info on the r1mt and the link is gone.I hope they havent decide to pull away from this 1/8 controler market.I have heard alot of good thing about Tekin.

Tekin isn't better, R1 launch was a failure.
On the early day it was said a all round controler,
Then people start complaining about odd behaviour with some motor.
Lack of Punch @ start
Thermal shutdown
Going backward (!) or sitting duck.

Afterward Tekin slowly recognise the different problem.

The problem with 4 cells + uber large gearing on 1/12 which is mostly used in competion was never told until people start complaining.

That let me perplex about Team driver and RACE tested stuff.

I think you and I will have to just agree to disagree. I think people should always be careful about what they say - forum or not. Now if there's something of value that is solution based, great. If not, I really don't see the point in this type of gossip, and yeah, I do feel it can be damaging.

And this whole idea that CC hasn't "done their homework" or didn't test enough . . . please tell me how more homework or testing would have solved the problem of getting some bad parts.

All I can say is that I know what works and doesn't work and my MMM is working perfectly with my Neu 1515 & 6s 3900 :whistle:

no new info yet

No :neutral:

tekin i know you are here somewhere so release the rx8 already you said it was going to come out this month are you having to push the date back please do not say it if not than are you keeping it to your self cause it is so much fun come on give us some info already

I think since they've removed the r1mt page from their site, this means we're going to wait for some time now.

Yeah, noticed that aswell but the page has been changed from what it use to be

oh great

No worries, though. I'm sure Tekin will outdo themselves with the rx8.

Their R1Pro is a state of the art little thing and I'm really excited to see the monster version of this controller.

i wanna see the motor

No one really knows any info on the motor

Well, if you go to a thread in the rctech forums regarding the r1pro being used for over 3s, the prez said ( Well, as far as I've understood) that the motors are going to be designed on the bases of the Neu motors just like CC's.
