If its got the smoothness of the stock spec or TC spec, it will be above and beyond any other 8 scale speed control. Looking foward to running it!

Did you guys read the description under the photo?
...best in brushless racing technology comes together in this speed control that features pluggable connectors and cooling fan, and is suitable for use with 2S to 6S LiPo batteries.
Looks like the just removed the fan for the picture.

Yup, just like their 1/10 speed controls the fan screws down onto the cooling fins. You can see the small lines that act like threads on the two outermost cooling fin grooves....
Looks nice, hopefully the $325 for the esc and $270 for the motor comes down a little bit as new tekin systems can be had for half that....

usually, team associateds msrp, or retail is double the dealers cost on the item. Im not sure if that gives you an idea what street price will be, but my guess is the esc will be just a hair over 200, and motors in the 160 range. Comparable to tekins pricing, but i hope they come out with a combo

That is why I find $199 too much money while You buy for less a Speedpassion Arrow2 for 120USD or a Xerun 150A for less than 110USD.

Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!
Bonus points for anyone who can name the movie....
Seriously though....Tekins, Novaks and Castles are either made in China or half the parts come from there too, so your argument is invalid.
Oh, and the motor you run, the magnet is from China.
LRP has a longer proven track record on the world scene than any other ESC manufacturer. I love my Tekin....but I love my LRP more. Blue is better!
