I personally supremely dislike the Novak solder tabs, and it also has to be programmed via a computer (no programming box). Same holds true for the Tekin. I don't typically like to base the merits of a product upon how many "fast" people are using it, but it is also a little disconcerting to see that very very few people use Novak. I know Dustin uses Novak for TC, but I don't think I have ever seen a Novak in a 12th scale (on-road, oval may differ).
Tekin is very versatile, there is no doubt. With that said, I find the throttle feel definitely to be a little on/off. If you are running mod you just need to be sure to have a fan blowing on the solder posts and be sure to pay attention to temps.
