Look at the second picture, it appears larger than 1.3" x 1.0". Not saying it is, but it looks like it

Tekin R1 size
That digital scale must be small but I can assure you the R1 is TINY. I am a Tekin team driver and have two of them and when I got them, they were actually smaller than I expected. I mounted one in my B44 and there is a ton of bare chassis showing. Gives lots of mounting options. Compared to my Novak GTB it is roughly 1/2 of the footprint!! If I recall the measurements said it was supposed to be 1" tall too, not really. If you include the solder posts, sure. The case thickness is nowhere near an inch.

man this is funny.. a place halfway around the globe has it and tower's reporting 'early jan' for arrival. just blows me away.

The manual folded up is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" (more than likely). Just visually comparing it to that. It just simply looks larger than 1" x 1.3" that was advertised. No doubt its small compared to a GTB. The old mechanicals were just slightly bigger than the GTB LOL. What motor you running with it in a B44 by the way?

I'm pretty sure I can order it from my LHS before tower reports availability.

have anyone tested it?

I've been lucky enough to run one. I ran a prototype of the R1 w/ a Tekin motor around a year ago--in a 24 hour race.
Zero malfunctions. No accidental reverse. Just lots of clean, consistant SPEED.
It's been a long wait. But the Tekin product IS worth it and will (as always) make believers.
BE HAPPY damn it!

I'm waiting too.

does anybody know if you can get the r1 pro in the uk also can you use non tekin brushless motors for example orion vortex which i think have the sensor connection on them will this work sensorless or not.

Yes the R1 can run sensored motors, you simply do not need the sensor harness.

If you say sensorless itīs just for the ESC. For the motor itīs not important if there are sensorwires or not as a sensorless ESC canīt make use of them.
The Orion motors (as the Speedpassion and GM) could be run sensored or sensorless so I donīt see why a R1 couldnīt run them.
Canīt speak for other ESC like Mamba but GM Racing do proof since a long time you can make a sensorless system what wonīt go backwards if you donīt want to.
