"Tekin v200" refers to the version of software that is allowed for the Tekin RS and RS Pro ESCs. Any software versions over 200 (like v203) are not allowed.

Jeff & bvalistic, happy to hear you'll be joining us this series.
The RCGT Showdown is a free series. All you pay is your normal club racing fees. No need to pre-reg. Just sign up on the day of the race.
We still have number panels leftover from Series 1, courtesy of HPI Racing. We'll distribute them to the RCGT Showdown participants at the warm up races. There should be enough for everyone... maybe.
