We do not sell direct, other than softgood, discontinued items and scratch and dent on our cart. We prefer you buy from one of our dealers where you can make a friend and get some support if needed.

Not sure we really see the advantage in RC cars of SSR mode or any of the narrow band special modes many of the brands offer other than it only works with their products. Maybe in 4d helicopters with ninja pilots.

It is narrower band so they can send a signal more often, every 1ms, but the SHR mode is not exactly slow at 2.6ms. Normal bands in most radios are sending signals every 3 to 10ms which is plenty fast for RC car steering.

Inside secret... many top level onroad drivers actually turn the signal rate down to make the steering wiggle less due to constant correction down the straight and scrub speed.

That narrow band also means less resolution, less steps. This brings up another advantage of the technology in the Tekin servos. You can program the endpoints so you do not have to turn down the EPA in the radio to the 40 to 60 range. Most servos are set to travel 60deg each way with full radio signal range and most cars only need about 30deg of servo travel so you reduce the EPA to about half. If you set the endpoints in your car with our Hotwire program you can leave your EPA settings at 100 and have the full signal range for better resolution.

You can actually set our servos to travel more than 60deg. They have no physical stops because of no potentiometer and can travel a full 360 degrees. In fact they can travel up to 5 rotations both directions and be used for other applications than just steering.

These servos are truly different and innovative. Considering all the options available in the market it would not have made sense otherwise to offer them under the Tekin brand.

Not sure you have to be a pro to notice, but if you are just bouncing off the pipes you may not see the difference. Then again maybe some of those mistakes are not really you and more due to inconsistent servo response...

A few of our team drivers initial comments below.

"The first time i ran this servo (T-120) was amazing, i have never felt more in-tuned with the servo."

" Not sure how to explain it other than it just feels more connected. I do not have to counter steer in difficult sections and it does not seem to overshoot. I also do not have to trim the center each run unless I bang the pipe and actually move the linkage."
Thanks for the info ! Maybe I will give it a try
