Team Tekin R1 Pro brushless speed controller

I have faith in Tekin. I love there mini rage esc; I have pushed that little 25a esc on 4s with internal bec for about an hour with a 6800 motor. Temps at the end of the run were around 150f on the esc with no heatsink....

But on an esc with a heat sink, you at least know you can add a fan blowing on the esc if there are heat problems. If its in a closed plastic case, you cant even blow a fan on it to keep it cooler.

I talked to these guys at the iHobby show. They have a cool feature on these ESCs. There is a built in temp monitor like most ESCs, but this one has a led that blinks to tell you how hot the esc is. If its blinking faster its hotter. Now if there wasnt going to be heat issues, why would they bother with that.

Its still a cool feature...


EDIT: another thing I jsut noticed. The specs say its 5s capable, but the highest LVC setting is 12.5V. Why wouldnt they have a 15V cutoff if its 5s capable?

Maybe they rated their voltage capacity using the same method that Quark used to rate the 125B as 6s? :005:
