$38 for all the parts, minus bearings. pretty awesome. wish touring cars were that cheap.
i for one am glad its not all mod class. would be very unfriendly for beginners and there would always been a handful of fast guys winning every race.
most escs will have a stock mode though.
if you get one of the newer ones im sure you can run it in any class you want with the right setting, just double check the roar approved list before buying.
of course, depends how serious the racers in your area are about that. not all clubs are roar to the letter.

The Tekin seems to work well in EVERY class. With the advent of "Blinky" for stock, all the speedo's are supposedly competitive. I would just make sure whatever you get is able to download updates. There's nothing worse than having to ship an ESC off to get the current software.......

So your positve the RS pro and lrp sxxv2 will do fine in all 13.5, 17.5 and mod TC, 12th classes
Thanks

Tekin RS is good for any on-road motor down to 5T. The Tekin RS Pro has no motor limit (it sits taller due to the extra bank of FETs. The latest firmware includes blinky (a pulsing led to show blinky is on, hence the name blinky).

Blinky = no timing boost, no ramping and no turbo boost. Only timing is in the motor.

Blinky mode class does not have electrical timing but there can still be mechanical timing on the motor. For a "true" blinky class like the old stock brush locked timing class, you'll need fixed motor also something like the Speedpassion Cirtix system.

Ive had a number of AE cars over the years and really wanted to pick up a RC12R5.1.... but the lack of damper tube conversions put me off. And jeez, there are sooo many quality 1/12th kits available these days, that it is hard to choose.
But with the Speedmerchant damper tube conversion available, it put the final nail in the coffin. Im going with the 12R5.1
