Oooh, I like. Hope they solved the problem with the output shafts being too soft. If they have even more power than the original motors, watch out!

This may have been the hold up w/ the SCX motor's ( Rotor being to soft)... then they just replaced the rotor and case. I hope they are faster, ...... then the rest will just have to watch as we Tekin user's pass by...

I can't wait till they hit the street, ..... or does anyone have an idea where they are going to be sold from. When we can get on a Pre-order list, .. again!

Look good, I like the Red, and the original Redline motors were good, and yes the rotors were a little soft, but once you realized that, there were no issues, and if these are better--this is gonna be fun..

I like the red too. looks like two different 540 size motors there (unless the little one is a 540 and the rest are 1/8 motors) what's the difference between them?

the littlest one= much needed replacement for the trx mini vxl motor
there are 2 different med. sized motors, my guess is sensored and sensorless
the big ones are 550 sized for 4x4 sct

The two other 540 sized motors to the left are the new Tekin Crawler motor!

Huge thanks to Tekin for letting us help show the new motors off in the TQ booth - sorry for the grainy picture, but not light in the hotel room, I will see if I can get a better pic posted tomorrow from the show floor.

I'm not a fan of the new look either, but if they perform, who cares. I liked the scheme that were on the old Redlines compared to this..
