If you have a castle buggy side by side with a Tekin buggy and have a controler for each of them in each hand and gradually accelerate from Zero, you will see the difference BIG time.

If your very blippy and heavy on the throttle in turns you may not notice the cogging on a Castle ESC/Motor (most gas to elec converts are at first). But if your an offpower or light power into the Turning type person you will notice a smoothness difference, especially on small tight tracks when you have a sensored Tekin (many Elec guys become this way after awhile, since blimping the throttle is not really as necessary as gas and since it burns AMPs like crazy over the course of a long race). Remember Tekin RX8s are dual drive so they are sensored on the low end for smoothness but go unsensored once the RPMs go up and its not needed.

I just assembled my new MBX6T last night OMG was up till 4am. You just keep telling yourself you'll stop after the next step but it never happens, I'm actually running my old castle 2200 in it at the moment since my primary racers all have the RX8 Tekins.

I'd have to agree with Marvins "Budget vs. Better" set up that sounds about right, except of course I'd get the Elite motor mount.
