Was just checking on Team Tekin, it looks like some good feedback hopefully as I thought. Let's see...
you dont take the reading from the top, as that is just the control board and BEC circuitry, all the FET's are on the lower board (R1) and lower 2 boards (R1 Pro). take the temp reading on the solder posts. Also, they have found if you are getting thermalling, running 6 cell and low turn brushless, two caps are needed and possibly a fan, also, have cool air passing over the solder posts, so they effectively remove the heat.

Just to let you guys know, I just took delivery of the RS speedo, exactly the same size as the R1 and the LiPo cells, and lovely they are too!!!
