New Tekin RS Pro - Burnt Posts/PCB from factory?
Just cracked open my brand new Tekin RS Pro so I could go racing tomorrow, and find solder posts that look like they were soldered by a novice and a circuit board that's burnt to a crisp.
Is this normal and I'm just being nit-picky, or should this be sent back?
I should also note that there seems to be quite a mess of flux, which you can kind of see in the second photo.

You can tell it is new. There is no solder on the posts. I wouldnt solder it up until you hear from Tekin. Once solder is on the posts it is USED....

Send Randy Pike a PM and see what he says. I don't run Tekin anymore but that's not normal quality from them..the solder job maybe I can see, but the burnt board not so much.
