I don't like how short the warranty is, I don't care for sensored motors, and it costs quite a bit more than a MMM combo but it sure is tempting to try one out. I'm building this one to be an offroad-only basher (my TQ is onroad, so the PCR will be offroad) and all I really need is enough power to bash with and stay cool. I like my stuff overpowered but I think with this I'll take a more reasonable approach so it'll be easier to bash.

Having used both the rx8 and the MMM/Neu now, I can say without question that the rx8 is leagues better. The throttle control is just beyond belief. The MMM is smooth, but the rx8 has ZERO cogging from a standstill. You could go rock crawling with this system. It is the best of both worlds. The MMM low power start up isn't even comparable to the smoothness.
The case on the rx8 is way more durable too. You can screw the case down to a mounting plate and it doesn't need zip ties because the case is held together with four screws in very good plastic, not the cheapo plastic tabs like the MMM.
The motors are absolutely top notch and I think a tad more powerful than the Neus. The solder post prevent the wearing out of the windings that occurs so often on Neus, not to mention direct soldering so you don't have to worry about the bullet plugs coming undone. The system runs cool too.
Tekin has absolutely done their homework on this ESC and Motor and all I can say is that they have raised the bar to a new level.
Not to bash the MMM, as I have owned five of them along with countless variations of Neu motors, but the Tekin takes the best off it all and puts it in one package. The MMM/Neu setup is great, but I think they are going to have to do a few tweaks to put it on the same level as the Tekin (particularly around the case design).
