Here is a Quote from Tekin Prez over at RC Tech:

Made it tougher for physical abuse like the Silver State track. Beefed up a connection we had seen fail more than once. The rule is once we note it, twice we fix it. We had seen that connection fail twice and one of them cost me my main in Vegas after some hard earned qualifying, so I truly understand the pain. Actually the only 2 failures we have seen in months except a wire breaking off. We are confident it is now as tough as it can be and it is ready for the real world.

The circuit is solid and able to handle more power than the batteries can provide as long as nothing cracks or literally breaks off the unit. Soldering of the wires is really our biggest concern. Losing any of the wires can be bad if is jumps over and welds to the next post

Any news???? Anyone got an email that their combo was in the mail? Just wondering if these things actually went out when Tekin said that they were going too.

Well the Tekin team driver I know has had the ESC for a while now but he just got his motor this week.

so has anyone who is not a team driver gotten one yet?

RC-Monster Mike had one on display in his RC-M RC8T at the RCX show this weekend.

I too waould like to put one of these on order but I am wondering which motor is correct for my application. I have a Losi 8ight converted to an 8e cirrently using a Medusa mr-036-060-2000v2-5 motor mamba max esc and Thunder Power 4s 50000 14.8v lipo. I am using the losi plastic 45t spur and Robinson 12t pinion. I cannot get this system to start smoothly and want to go with a sensored system. Which motor and gearing combo is recommended. I run mostly on a small backyard track. Thanks.

I ran this set-up last year. It's not the motor, it's the Mamba Max. When I switched over to the MMM the motor worked fine. I'm not saying not to get the Tekin (I'm going to get one too) just letting you know the motor works fine with a better ESC.

For most 4s buggy applications I feel the 2050 or the 1900 is ideal. The 2050 is a bit under rated to be honest and is more like a 2200. I run the Losi 2.0 with a direct drive Tekno kit geared with the stock metal spur (48) and run a 16 tooth pinion. I can run over 15 minutes strapped and pull off with 150 motor temps and 4 led's on the speedo for only a few seconds. NO cooling holes in my body either.

The 1900 is butter smooth and can pull the 16 tooth pinion as well. It's great when traction is down and you need to have a very linear powerband.

What is the dealeo, is there anyone out there that had one of these on order that has got theirs yet? I just spoke to Amain and they are saying that they have not been given any eta at all!

From what I've read on other forums, they are shipping. It's all about your place (or your hobby store's place) in the queue now.

yeah I have been reading that too. I plan on racing at my local track in 2 weeks so I hope I will have one by then.

If not I will have to race my slash or go to the indoor track for 10th scale racing. Really want to get outside and do some 8th scale though.

why the hobby's shop does't have the controller only....?????or they suppose to be avalaible????

The first items to ship were complete systems. Followed up by motor and speedo seperates. You should start seeing them pop up shortly.

hopefully, I have been waiting a long time for my system. Need the 6s 1400kv system for buggy.
