I took the R8 pro out for the first time this weekend and all I can say is this thing is super smooth and the brakes are amazing! I have been using the Tekin for the last year or so and I am very glad I gave this system a try. And another thing I noticed is the motor was running about 10deg cooler and that was with a little more timing than what the Tekin had. Just sold all of Tekin backups and purchased another Orion just in case, ( lesson carried over from owning Tekin's ) but hopefully this thing will hold up.
