So how exactly do shops in Hong Kong get the R1 before places like Stormer, Tower, etc? 
Every two weeks, the expected date at Tower slips two weeks.
I gave up waiting and bought a Spread Spectrum enhanced Novak GTB.

A comment like that is because?????
If you understood the technology you would understand that sensorless is not a problem.
In industry 99.99% of systems are sensorless as it is more efficient, more powerfull.
All Tekin products are exceptional quality, I have 10 year old Tekin products that I use still today and I wouldn't replace them with new equipment as the Tekin products are still better. I remember when Tekin went with a tripple regeneration circuit in there ESCs and how people said it will never work. Yet after 6 months everyone was using it as it provided a significant increase in run time.

(Things like the car taking off backward and/or cogging...I believe they said it was moreso with the higher wind B/L motors and some of the 4 cell stuff.)
TEKIN has always had great products - and even though this B/L speedcontrol seems to have taken WAY too long based on announced estimated release times, etc...I'm sure it will be a very good product.
One of my favorite old ESC's were the old 411G's, and I always LOVED the way the TEKIN "Torque Limiting" worked back in the day of batteries that could BARELY make a 4 minute run. (Wow did that provide an advantage)

Hmmm, It's my understanding that there is/has been a problem with the sensorless...which is why I understand TEKIN is currently working on a SENSORED B/L control.

I will agree that 'politics' probably has a part to play in the sensored as well...
I know, I'm a part of those politics for OVAL racing...our B/L rules are only allowing the use of SENSORED ESC's. in NON- Open Modified classes.
We have offered or allowed for the past 2 seasons the use of SENSORLESS B/L stuff in our OPEN MODIFIED class, but nobody wants to go that fast on the oval anymore.
We did have someone last year give it a try with the MAMBA MAX system...and the car went BACKWARD about 90% of the time off the line...and it bacame a problem with the car was backing into the car behind it...or failed to even move off the line.
...I can say, I am wanting to try/test a TEKIN Sensored B/L ESC when they come out...currently I have both LRP's and NOVAK's...so I'm sure I'll have a TEKIN too.

Tool? That's harsh. Though not too bad if I keep in mind it's the name of the best band of all time.
I was just pointing out that, in this situation, RCMARKET guy did a poor job running his retail business.
Now, remember that RCMARKET just posted what he was told, Tekin was actually in control. A little bit of reasoning gets you a rough estimation of what I think of Tekin's job.
Oh, and Tekin, you might want to put some effort into convincing us that the R1 can do as good a job with all the sensored motors out there as the GTB and TC Spec. If you want to capture more than 5% of the racing BL market, that is.
