Tekin made a racing system for 8th scale brushless racing and one that brought back a 4 pole sensored motor which is already a selling point. As for marketing, they would be better by stating a higher AMP rating like many do, but Tekin is better then those other guys, so the brushed setting on the RX8 does nothing for the product. The R1/RS Pro could pretty well handle those several medium-power brushed motors if a project needs it. I see more and more people just using brushless and don't get why a brushed setting in a brushless ESC is needed. Tekin already has brushed ESC on the market. Now I don't know how much space on the software a brushed mode takes, but it could be space for other option that could improve on the brushless side.
