BTW guys, I searched the Tekin thread for gearing suggestions, and I found this little gem (http://www.rctech.net/forum/5758689-post1284.html):

I ALWAYS recomend allowing some extra slack on the wires for movement. If anything like a chassis brace were to get go and the chassis flexed its going to allow everything to move.

I reccomend using the fan at all times. I'm not saying that you "need" it all the time but it's got a purpose. I've done a lot of testing without it but when I'm racing I have it on. I'd hate to get a DNF because I didn't have my fan on. I've ran back to back to back packs on the 2050 and 1900 bith without the fan and have only managed 5 led's with the ambient around 80. But come this summer I'm sure we'll see those 5 led's with the fan if I did the same test.
