I don't post much there, but I do check in just to see what those kids talk about and have a few laughs.

I was just checking it on Tower and it looks like they backed back down to 3s rating on the Pro.

The R1 and R1Pro are in stock at Tower now.


EDIT: oops... just the R1 is in stock. The pro is still backorder only.

Can anyone tell m why should I pay $194.99 for the R1 and $224.99 for the R1Pro? In the past, Tekin was the the product to have mainly because it was original Tekin. I'm not sure if that price is fair.

The pro has no motor limit, and I *think* less resistance

I think thats all, I just know the motor limit is the main thing

But whay the high price. I would expect high price from the old Tekin, but not the new one. Specially when there are great BL systems out already. I'm pretty sure the controller I have will out perform the R1 and R1PRO.

Im sure it will....The r1pro, and r1 is just meant to be for racing, but for us

one time on the traxxas forum i said "i may use a plettenberg bigmaxximum"
and the reply i got was "what's that, some kind of tire?" :rofl:

That is funny.

I had to throw in my .02. Signed up just for that!

Some people might just be joking or was that guy for real?

looks like tower has the r1 and the r1 pro in stock now (limited quantities)

I remember reading that, it was pretty darn funny!:lol:
