With two options in very different price ranges, the Speed passion setup and the Tekin RX8, curious as to what people are seeing between the two. Based on the following info:

- Using 4S motors only
- Need performance similar to Neu 1512 2.5D/F 2050Kv for Buggy and Truggy

How do the two compare? I really like the fact that the Speedpassion has an LCD programmer included so you don't have to bring a laptop with. But is it worth it versus what Tekin is offering?
First of all, Speed Passion doesn't make the ESC. With that said, the version of the Speed Passion is the Hobbywing 80A 4S and a fair comparison would be the 150A 6S one. Now the RX8 might only need a LCD programmer like the one used on the Hobbywing units (I should've patented that one instead of just giving the idea away lol) to be a really top of the line ESC. Not many has a laptop so the handheld programmer would be a must. Now, we've all heard of a few Hobbywing 150A 6S failing and all I've heard of the RX8 is how good it is. The RX8 is smaller then the Hobbywing (Speed Passion) ESCs. Now, if someone has both, it would be good to see how well the Hobbywing works with the Tekin motors. As of now, I really don't think Tekin has any competition....yet .
