I love how someone tried to mention Mamba when this thread is about HW and Tekin

I ran Tekin for a good 6 months when Vegas software came out before switching to Hobbywing and their 518 software and i have never looked back. No lap tops at the track and it has all the features and driveablilty of the Tekin if not more. If you can set up one you can set up the other IMO. At my local track there is no difference in lap times with both HW and Tekin locked in a 17.5 boosted battle.


As for warranty not everyone lives in the USA and can enjoy the superior customer service of Tekin. HW have excellent service as far as i can see with a few local racers having issues and having replacement speedies sent to them. Angelo will happily tell you they will fix your speedy as long as you pay shipping to and from China, You can't ask for more than that IMO.

If you can fit in a 120 amp speedy then do so otherwise the Xtreme stock at 60 amps is more than capable of doing the job in stock classes. I find the extreme struggles when it gets a bit hot at the end of a run but when you run in 35 degree ambient air temp everything gets a little hot and bothered. I would prefer to use the 120 amp but it will not fit in my Mi4CX with my extra large airtronics RX
