At the moment LRP users are having a cry, how ever once the new SXX SPX comes out i think it will be on a level playing field again, only problem is they will need to buy a whole new speed controller where as we get the upgrades. Really tekin have got it right with software released for free, why would you want to buy a speed controller that doesn't come with FREE upgrades to make it superior to the competition?.
The upgradeability is a huge plus for tekin, team wave, and ko. In the case of the tekin I imagine it wont be long until they want to upgrade the RS/RS Pro's hardware to keep up with their software advances - I understand the RS now overheats when running 10.5 with the 203 software, even though it's rated to 8.5t motors.

As for LRP users "having a cry", I think the guys that are a bit disillusioned by the speedo war are the ones using non-timing shift speedos like the guy that started this thread because the difference between them and the tekin is pretty big.

FYI my 2c would be to buy a tekin too, I'm gonna try one out soon
