The number one 1/12 driver at my club has a tekin. The number two a hobbywing. Fact is the number one driver is a very good 1/12 scale driver with number 2 in very very close persuit. Not so much to do with the esc but more with driving skills. Maybe this year it will be different. The fastest 1/12car on the straight that blows all drivers away is using a GM75...go figure.

On our 1/8 track the tekin and hobbywing have the same topspeed in the tc 13.5t open esc class. In other classes it is the same.

Sorry to say but LRP with it's profiles is sooo 2008.
