Sick of waiting, as soon as 2000 comes (without bugs) ???????? Since i had my 2 RS esc there has been 184,189,198,199 Have i missed any. Me thinks the entire Tekin user base have been beta testers. A product that was released too early is probabley only now up too speed.
I have sold both my ESCs for a horrible loss and Changed too LRP SPX .Might be proved wrong in the long run but sick of the wait and computer updates that dont work properly.

Ford ,GM ,Toyota , Chrysler ect.... all have software updates to fix known bugs in new cars. Microsoft has daily updates.
I like the fact that you can ,if you want try different updates for your speedy
I just wish Tekin would make a simple interface like Speed Passion did to make timing changes in the field without having to drag a POS $500.00 XP Laptop around. Yea I still run DOS ,Windows 95,98,2000,NT just not 3.x windows.
A windows Mobile version for making adjustment's to the Speedy would be great
even better if it was written for Linux
I understand that I would still need a XP system at home to do the Full Update to the Speedo.

The Tekin RS has won a lot of races against all other speed controls so I wouldn't say it was released too early. Thats like saying the LRP Sphere should have never been released because the SPX came out. The firmware just takes the latest learnings and allows you to update your ESC rather then replacing it.
I think what people need to remember is that these updates are free. They don't cost $200 like a new speedo. The updates can come at anytime based on need. Tekin does not have to wait to update their ESC's only when a new product comes out. All pluses to me. So lets say 200 or whatever future releases are better than an SPX...what will the converts do then?

Plus I suspect Jim owns stock in some netbook company since he is probably driving a lot of their sales.

As yyou want to update your GM, you must send it to GM and pay money for shipping and for the update.
Tekin gives free updates and is going faster and faster.
Also the service of Tekin is nr 1.
Try to contact LRP with a problem.
GM takes weeks to get it repaired.
Also have I seen several burnt SPX speedo's.
The GM has much bigger bugs. I have seen several GM drivers that didn't start a race because there GM wasn't working. Even starting to burn after a few seconds before the start.
I never didn't finish because of my Tekin RS Pro speedo.
The nr 1 national Belgium stock driver, drives every national championship with a new SPX. He loses power in his speedo's.
Mine Tekin is still on full power and goes only faster and faster by the new software.

It just cracks me up that all these tossers are going away from Tekin because the SPX is faster, for now. It's excuse making, as far as i'm concerned, for poor driving or poor car set-up. If you are TOP LEVEL driving, yes the difference in software will affect your placing, but I doubt many of the whingers about the current software are top level.
The other thing that pisses me off, is these updates are FREE. When the RS came out, it killed the Sphere, so LRP came out with the SPX, and everyone (not with Tekin) went out and bought it to beat the Tekin. Now a few months later (yes months, not years), Tekin are coming with an update that will kill the SPX. For Free!

I am looking at Tekin at the moment but won't be changing anything over until I can prove to myself that on the track it can match or better my GT2.0. I would suggest everyone else does the same before you get upset that you are being hard done by for waiting a week or two for a software update.
