Is his tekin still under warranty? If not he can still send it in to them to see if they can fix or replace it for a cheaper fee then buying a new one.........

+1 on the send it in to have it checked out.
They have great customer service!
If it is shot though there are some great deals on lightly used Tekin RS's in the for sale section!

the motor he used sensored or sensorless?
what is the number of turn?
using timing or blinky?

hobbywing xerun 60A (up to 5.5turn) or 120A (up to 2.5turn) seems like a cheaper choice..whatever you setup is..
there a lot of choice out there...please be specific on your request..
