The smaller size is going to be a god send to a lot of the TEKIN die hard fans and to others who had previously looked away because of the g10/g11 size

Looking forward to these coming out a lot!

Looks like the lowest on resistance of any esc. Wonder what the weight is.

The weight will probably be similar to any other small top of the line esc (around 18 grams) I just placed my vfs 1 pro up on the screen to compare to the size and this Tekin esc is about 5mm wider i think.

They look very good, but why only 5volt? And can these be run with 4 cell 12th scale?

Yes I think it does also known as "roll" by some. I spoke with Jim in Vegas and he said that the new speedo would have that feature built in.

I've never head of that before, whats the best way to set this on the radio? turn up the trim just 1 step before the car starts to crawl?

I cant find sizes on the ko site but the twister 2.1 specs at 28.0 x 25.0 x 14.4mm compared to the tekin at 25 x 20 x 19 overall its smaller.

But do tekin require us to use caps and big diodes?? or can we save even more space?

I am not sure as yet about the BEC, but I shall find out for you asap.

Power Cap, probably will have to, but the Tekin power cap is a small unit, selected so that it will sit on top of the ESC, the reason for this, is you can keep the leads very short, which also allows a smaller value capacitor to be used. The Power Cap is also a high quality unit, not a cheap 'off-the-shelf' cap.
