Not real sure. I ran around 15 packs through it with no probs and temps were always good. I was a couple of minutes into a run when the truck just quit and the esc started smoking. When I hit it with the temp gun both motor and esc were barely warm. I sent it back and Tekin replaced the circuit board and said it was of no fault of mine. Anyway, got it all hooked up and back together last night. It calibrated fine but shows error code of wrong motor type so I checked it and it is set to brushless then it lights up for normal opperation. When I hit the throtle the led's light up as they should but no power to motor so then I cut the power off at switch and try again and the whole things starts over with wrong motor selection. I had 3 guys at track (all vets who own or have owned Tekin) look at it and no one could figure it out.

What motor are you running with that esc?
The best part about those speed controlers is some of them perform just as well as the more "high end" electronics for a fraction of the price
Anyone see the 1/10 sensorless brushless system from orion that looks like a ezrun esc with orion stickers on it?

Either the LRP SXX TC Spec or the HW will both work with that motor. Actually running a V1 TC Spec right in my Sc10 4x4 and it's been great with both SC4X 6.5 and 4.5 motors. Have been running HW/SP in other crs for almost a year, very happy with it. Like Sym, I prefer the SP software, and it's also easier to find setups for. If you can find the HW/SP 120 amp 2.0 Pro, that's the best speedo for 4wd SC. Lower turn limit than the 2.1, but may be hard to find.

I left mine where it was before I installed the brace, have not had a problem. I do plan on probably loosening it some though...try to remove some drag. Just afraid to loosen up a hard used belt. I'm still on the same belt that I started on a couple months ago. It's got a lot of laps on it.
