Default TEKIN Question
I am thinking about getting a Tekin system. I am unsure of which one I should get. The 1700, 1900 or 2050? I mainly run on a short track. The straighaway is maybe 30 feet long. Its not a track where you hammer down, its more throttle control. Help me out guys. Oh and I run a 4s lipo. 5600 50C.
Thanks!

On a short track, I would go 1700kv. Even possibly 1900kv. 2050 is overkill.

after hearing tons of stories and talking with a Tekin rep, I'm convinced the 1900kv is the best all around motor. I like options, and this one has them.


I'll get one someday

Depends what mount you are using. I would think it should be fine... short shank?

1900kv is what I went with after all of my research. it's a great motor for a lot of situations from what I gather.
