I don't own a Teken system myself, but a mate does and he uses the current limiter when he's running on wet tracks. I should figure it out some time.

I'm now running a Castle 2200kv combo in my 8ight and I have too much power when acceleration on lose dirt.
We're racing under a brige and it never rains there, so the ground is very lose.
Would it be better to set my timing at 0 and increase a teeth on my pinion to loose some torque? Cause there's just way too much wheelspin.
Punch control is a nice feature, but I don't like when there are jumps. It's harder to control the car over jumps/in the air with punch control :(

EDIT: This is a quote that I found on Rctech, so yes, it seems like a real current limiter. I think that would be a very nice feature on the Mamba Monsters!

I had the same issue with punch control. Worked great for controlling wheel spin but took away all the ability to control the car in the air. I could never bring the front end back up if I was too far nose down! I had to move it back to zero.

With that said, Tekin does have a current limiter on their rx8 that works very well especially if you have overly punch lipos. For instance, my car works well with a pair of 5s 3300 rated at 30c. However, I have a 5s 4000 rated at 40c that I use for mains. The 40c pack is significantly more punchy than my 30c packs and screws up my timing on the track. The Tekin current limiter will make the 40c pack feel exactly like my 30c packs
