not very happy with tekin at the moment...
ordered a gen2 combo and after two battery packs the esc just stop working and went into wrong motor type mode, where the 1st two and last two LEDs were flashing, after a reset the esc smoked, contacted tekin and it should be with them now. This was less than 2 weeks ago

This Friday at a practice for a national event my gen1 goes up in smoke after 3 years of service, i still have no clue how it happened but im beginning to think its cos i set the lipo cutoff above 18.v as i run 6s and tekin say you shouldn't as it may cause unwarranted damage to your esc (which is kind of stupid as 18.v on 6s is 3v per cell, which is the discharging limit on lipo cells). Anyway nobody in town had stock of tekin at such short notice and i had to buy a castle esc (which im surprisingly happy with).

Tekin I'm the one to sing all your praises in my city and i was nothing short of embarrassed this weekend.

considering moving to castle now, and selling the new gen2 they going to send back...
