I dont think theres any argument that tekins software version 203 is the most flexible of all the speedies going round at the moment, allowing you to tune the settings to ur needs taking into account heat, straight length, motor wind etc, im not a tekin fanboy, i was a novak guy then a losi esc runner, but its all in the software now, so i have just fitted a tekin to my 4wd, and will test it on the weekend. As others have said, make your choice, for me, i race against a bunch of talented drivers, many of whom are more talented than i, so i wasnt going to run the risk of them beating me on the straight as well as everywhere else, lol, but if the question is asked which is the best speedy for spec racing right at the moment, the Tekin is the most flexible and best suited speedy/software for spec racing at the moment if you are able to use a pc
