I recently bought a Tekin RS and I'm happy with it in a 13.5 2wd buggy. The fact that the firmware can be updated is great. I tried to find out of the LRP has that also, but I can't find any info on it even on their own website.
The only negative with the RS is that if you enjoy tweaking the software then you need a laptop or have a friend at the track with one.

Sometime all that adjustability can go wrong as most people do not know how or what to change....
I have always loved the smoothness and responsiveness of the LRP ESC's. Great feel to them. I tried the RS Pro when it first came out and it just felt dead so I junked it for a SXX and loved it. I just got back into 10th scale this fall and I got a sweet deal on a RS Pro, so I thought I would give them another shot. The newest 212 software has closed the gap quite a bit. I still think the LRP's stock software is better (for mod at least), but I am still learning to tweak the new Tekin software....Personally I run Mod and just like to turn it on and go. The Tekin programming to me is a bit of a hassle. Some things I just don't need/want to know. I just want to run!

Basically yes.
I don't really care about adjusting deadband, minimum throttle, minimum brake, boost, turbo what rpm it kicks in, current limiter etc etc or learning why I need to adjust them. Maybe it is too much for my simple brain! I'd rather focus on learning the track layout, tire and suspension set up...lol
Again I run Mod. I hear for any kind of stock racing the Tekin in the way to go.
