We find here they are ok for 4wd SCT and marginal for 1/8 Buggy. For 1/8 On Road, despite their "rating" they are, for what is a $300 esc here and 120 day warranty simply unreliable.


So while I respect that some people swear by their Tekin, and in some instances they are ok (my RSX has been sound in 21.5 blinky) In my opinion, and an opinion shared by many where I race, they are a no go for 1/8 On Road period.
