As for as durability. Your experience may vary. These are esc's and they do fail. I went with the orion/hobbywing cause personally i have seen more tekins fail/catch fire than any others, and even though through the military discount i could have had one for a low cost, I didnt want to risk it going out. That and the cool carbonfiber tape wrap on the orion.
*Sadly* I was considering one of these as well. It also helps that Kyosho/Team orion sponsored driver is local to me, so getting help shouldn't be an issue.
I had 3 on my list, Tekin, LRP and Orion/HW/SpeedPassion.
I'm sorta biased on the Tekin since "EVERYONE" seems to be running it and I don't want to be a Sheep. The LRP is Sexy, but the price isn't. The Orion/HW is pretty nice. The HW/SP is appealing and since I have experience with the HW and SP ESCs and their programming etc, it seems logical. I just don't like the wait. The HW is affordable, but then there's the issue of warranty.
