What do you think?
 

I am running Team Associated RC8TCE, RC8Be, and SC10 4x4 all with Tekin Systems, and there ain't no way, that the equivalent Castle Systems are as smooth, and powerful as mine on the same set-ups (not including Steve Neu motors). I used to run Castle, but now only run Tekin. There is nothing else like it that I have tried with equal performance and ranges of motors for 1/10th and 1/8th Scales.:lol:

Yeah bro I have to say ever since i switched from castle to Tekin they are miles apart in quality.My tekins are so smooth in my rc8t ce and my ve8 its unreal.Such a great linear feel of power.I will always run tekin.TEKIN IS THE BEST!!!!

well if you can afford the (1/8 tekin system) sure i like castle i havent tried it on the 1/8 scale yet but i am but i did run a (castle 5700kv) on my 1/18 scale and liked it its not the smoothest i whould say though lol.

i dont know about the, (tekin 1/8 system) though i know when they first came out in 09 i had a guy who i raced with that had tons of problems with it shuting off and i think burning up and some others that ran them had no problems at all.

the only thing thats weird, with the castle brushless i dont know if its just with their cheaper brushless systems but the one for the 1/18 scale loses its settings sometimes for some odd reason weird.

just letting you know tc5 man youre gonna love your truggy being electric as i drove mine the other day and it rocked.

well see i think i will like it though i know it will be quite diffrent from running a nitro powerband .
and not to mention i can focus on my driving and setups now .

can you drive a "e truggy hard just like a nitro truggy or do you have to be smoother with it ?

il be racing with nitro truggys the mains are 15 min max.

Yeah e-truggy needs to be driven alittle bit smoother than a nitro truggy but it definately is faster.:nod:

i can drive smoother, on the throttle thats the faster way anyways i never really had a mindset of driving hard and smashing the throttle like others raceing truggy lol.

baseily pretty much roll out of the throttle into corners and point in shoot ?

You're my new hero.:nod:

I also run associated stuff rc8be rc8t ce converted, however i run castle. Most of the guys at my track run losi and tekin. The tekin fails much more often then my castle stuff and if u set up the esc, radio settings and gearing then it can be very smooth. Something tells me u did not have ur setting dialed in.

I would rather finish every race then be smooth!!
Also I use the same esc's (MMM) that i used all of last year, just gotta make sure they are clean and the fans work properly

I ran a castle 2200 with a MMM in my old Losi E buggy and it was crazy fast on a 14T pinion and stayed pretty cool. The hottest the motor ever got was 150-160 after running 17 minutes. But it did cogg and wasn't very smooth. I switched to a Mugen ECO and went with the Tekin 1900. It isn't quite as fast but it is unreal smooth! It is so nice not to have to wait on the motor after a bobble or spin out like I had to do with the castle. Only thing is the Tekin is running a little hotter. After 12 minute main last weekend it was 175-180 which is hotter than I want. I still like the Tekin better though!

I'll be soon making the change to all Tekin ESC's!

When I built my vehicles, it was at the point when the RX8 ESC's were failing left and right. Since then that's been corrected and it won't be long before I'm all Tekin. I will have the same garage as you, actually. RC8BE, RC8TE, and an SC10 4x4. :lol:

Mine too ! Cause he is sooooooo smooth ! :lol:

Smooth is for people who can't drive, grow up and get a little finger control. I like to set my controllers to full cog and level 10 power spike, then completely destroy everyone on the track with a more expensive setup than mine.

How is the rc8be run. I wana buy one
