tekin r1mt

[gixxer]

tekin finally posted a video of there r1mt esc in an e-maxx. doesn't list the motor or number of cells though. Atleast it shows that one exist though.
http://www.teamtekin.com/video.html now which ever one comes out first, the MMM or this I will pick up.

That could mean a couple things, either the production comes out first, or the betas come out first.

[gixxer]

probably but at this point i will just get what ever one is out first.

[squeeforever]

I think that Tekin's ESC will be out first. If you only remembered how long the wait for the MM was...

Id really like to see a picture of what the Tekin MT will look like. The no heat sink thing on the R1 kinda has me a little worried about them. Is the R1-pro out yet? Its supposed to do 5s.

[SilentMonster]

Oh believe me I remember. I still think the production MMM will be out first IMHO.

[gixxer]

the r1 pro was listed at 5s put according to tekins website its only listed at 3s or 12 cell nimh now. http://www.teamtekin.com/r1.html

The Tekin add in last months RCCA still listed it at 5s. See even they know that 5s with no heatsink is stupid.

It seems the old features of the R1 Pro has been passed down to the MT version.
It makes more sense now.

Whichever esc comes out, I'll never care.

They've deeply failed me.:019:

I've spent three years of ma own life dreaming of the MMM that would do 6-10s lipos with ultra hi current.
And Tekin is only copying the CC car escs.

Gimme a break.....:030:

Guys.... word on the street if you haven't heard before.... let's just say that Castle is "involved" in the Tekin products. ;)

I'm expecting to see some very curious similarities between the Tekin and CC stuff.

I have been blasted on another forum for suggesting this by a Tekin zealot, but I believe that more or less, Castle is building Tekin's stuff. Castle won't admit this if you ask... but they do give the classic "I can neither confirm nor deny" which pretty much means it's true like 90% of the time? :D

I also believe this a big reason behind the delays the past few months from CC.. for the MM updates etc and the MMM... they are busy building twins. And maybe they are feeling the heat of Tekin to get their's done? hee hee who knows...

This is not to say the products will actually be the same or look the same... but I expect the basic foundation will be the same unit.

The Tekin has it's own unique features and programming ,etc for sure...

Then again, maybe I've been misled completely and there are no ties between these companies. ;)

[zeropointbug]

Looks pretty good to me.

[captain harlock]

There's a very high possibilty that you're saying the truth. Quite funny, though. The real FOOL is going to be none other than the customer, if what you are saying is right.

I do however find it hard to believe that castle would design a controller without a heatsink.
I find it more likely that castle has licensed there technology to tekin for them to use in there products.

If the ESC is made with enough FETs, the resistance is lowered and power dissipation will be lowered as well resulting in less heat. Also, there seems to be some evidence that Castles has quite low pulse rise time, further lowering heat dissipation. If done right, a heatsink shouldn't be required, although I'd still put one on there for peace of mind. Plus, you KNOW people will be pushing the ESCs beyond their intended uses...
