There are plenty of other esc's out there too, that get a lot of praise. I used to have all Tekin and I never had a bad experience, but this time around I couldn't spend Tekin money.
I actually like my Speed Passion Reventon Pro 1.1 more than my Tekin RS Gen2 FWIW. It takes a little bit of thinking to get the right firmware, but once that is done, it has been a sweet ESC. I think they look better, they can handle anything you can throw at them, the brakes feel better (to me), it is a nice ESC. The PC interface isn't as nice as the Hotwire, but works fine for my needs. At less than half of the price of Tekin products, I will be using Speed Passion as my Tekin stuff ages.
