I would not say the Tekin RS is "preferred" persay, as there are lots of speedos out there that are popular. Lots of people like the Tekin because it is small, but you will have to use either a booster or a receiver pack with it. Also, lots of people complain about the throttle feel with Tekin.
Other good options include the Hobbywing 1s speedo, which is larger but doesn't need a booster or receiver pack. The Viper 1s speedo is a great choice, as it is nearly as small as the Tekin but doesn't need a booster or receiver pack.
I would personally look at the Viper or the Hobbywing before I used a Tekin, but I know others will differ in opinion.
Novak isn't bad...but is "lacking" when compared to the other options. I will leave it at that.
