I thought lifetime warranties went out when they released the spheres? Did they bring that back?

Actually thats the biggest summernats ive seen in ages, which is probably because they didnt have weird rules. Overcast weather probably didnt help much either
As with regards to the current question i've run the tekins since they had the original R1 (or tried to run the R1 :P).
Terkin are what i like to refer to as a boutique company, and they are very progressive with regards to development towards race performance and are not afraid to release software updates.
Sometimes this can be bad with regards to buggy/quirky software or risks in changing the characteristics of esc to such a point that you can blow motors. But if you follow the threads or ask around you will be fine. There are enuffs Tekins around these days that there is probably at least one person at your track who can help you out with questions.
At the moment the adjustability is so vast that things are a little confusing and hit and miss, so you will probably need advice getting it going initially.
But ultimately, we dont race to come last. Technology is always changing so its not possible to say which is going to be the best esc for the future, but in my opinion the RS is the best option currently available coupled with an existing record for a willingness to develop and provide updated software to improve performance (although i dont know how much more they can squeeze out of the thing!).
