    New Gadget from Tekin



    it seems like it would be a big help. But at the price?
    If you ask me they are just to late with this. Lipos are taking over.

      I think you're right Steven. That would have been great, back in the day. LOL
      I sure am enjoying the time I used to spend managing all those sub Cs, doing other things.:)

        I have to agree. Tekin jumped out of the game for to long...now they are behind the curve. I hope the catch up and don't forget about us former tekin marine customers. the 432M was a great esc. A new generation tekin marine esc of that quality would be a beast for sure.

          you guys manage your C cells!? :D :p

          To little to late tekin....

          Side note: I did once have a tekin ESC. I liked it a lot, it was a old RC car unlimted motor limit ESC. Never got hot ever.

            I saw these at prototype stage over a year ago. I also had the 8 cell discharge trays 1 year before the public. You have to remember that the rc cars is the largest market. Roar pulled back on lipos so they race alot of four and five cell stuff. For every boat(other than sv) there are probably a hundred cars sold. It seems people are interested in this stuff, I don't race cars anymore but am consulted by my good friend who does the prototype work for them. I will let you know if anything interesting is coming out.

                Jeff the backyard car bashers outnumber roar racers by huge margins. I see tons of the backyard guys switching to lipo. Its only time before a gp3300 pack will be worth more as a piece of history than a pack. UNLESS someone quickly comes out with a reliable cell. And that doesn't look like its going to happen.

                  Yes Steve you are right but it is the racers that spend, er waste money on usless stuff. I was going to sell Brian Kinwald toilet paper at one time. The slogan goes WIPE YOUR A$$ WITH WHAT THE PRO'S USE!
