Default Novak or tekin?

I currently have a novak gtb and was wanting to upgrade to a esc that I can tune on the computer because its sort of hard to see the flashing lights when you have the esc installed in the car. So I was thinking of selling my gtb and old velocity motors for something newer.

Thoughts on tekin RS pro vs the new novak kinetic esc

tekin motor vs the novak balistic motor.
-I do like how the sensor wire on the novak is pluged in from the side instead of the end.


Thanks.

Get a Team Wave. They have brought a new speedo out call the RB Stock. It has twin turbos and is perfect for stock racing.
Wicked speedo for stock racing.

If you buy the speedo direct, it is only £85.00 BARGIN

Dont know about there motors though, have never used one.
What about the new Lrp X12 stock motors coming out, they look good?

I am racing at the moment the Tekin 13.5 Redline series motor. Very good motor. Adjustable timing aswell

I have not had a problem with my Tekin RS Pro and it's be superb. Having said that if I was to purchase another speed controller I would go for the Speed Passion route. My only complaint with my Tekin is that it ran hot with the Losi 7.5 motor in my Cat SX at our club. However with my LRP X11 6.5 nice and cool (soon to be the 6.5 V3 I won at Petit yesterday (not my driving the raffle! )

I'm planning on getting slower motor for the season ahead to work on my driving as I was terrible at Petit.

i think the Speed Passion is slightly cheaper than the Tekin too..

Haven't decided what I'm doing with my cars yet so may change to a Speed Passion this year if I ditch the Cat SX and B4. For the Losi XXCR the Tekin is a perfect fit.

The hotwire software is very good and easy to use. Also non of the Losi problems I hear about with regards to flashing the wrong firmware (sorry but any company that writes software that can flash wrong firmware onto hardware needs to be shot!)
