And for a guy like me that does not own a laptop, a tekin will cost me as much as 2 BD's.

Tekin+Hotwire+laptop = 2 Advanced speed controls.

It is a year later and the same conversation is still going on.

And it gets even better when you need more than 1 ESC.

2 Tekin RS ESCs: $320
Hotwire: $38
Netbook: $220

Total: $578

2 Black Diamond 1s ESCs: $698

Since I currently use 2 RS ESCs not only did I save $120 but I still got a netbook in the deal
