I thought the r1pro was to be for more cells? It's like the MM now? Rated 3s Lipo

it does 4s and 5s with the bec disabled tough.

Quite small in comparison to the Mamba Max!
The MT version might just be as big as the Mamba Max then.

I emailed them about a week ago, and they said that the only info they can give is on the website. But... there is nothing on the website, so...

well what i can say is, the r1 and the tekin redline motors were a blow for racing, 7 guys went from the whole tekin setup (and there sponcered by tekin!!) went to a lrp worlds tc spec ec and the lrp motor

no one liked the esc =( i hope the r1mt is a good basher esc

Wow, I'm really surprised. I expected the R1 systems to be a big hit. Maybe they'll work better for the bashers or offroad racers.

lap times went from 13.6, down to 13 flat in some places, just u can tell th elrp was SOOOOO much smoother then the tekin

heat wasnt a issue, just want the best race (onroad anyways) system

i still have big hope in the r1mt tho

and btw, thats with just the guy dropping in the lrp on race day, i watched him as i wanted to see the brand new lrp speedo... just dropped it in, wired it up neately, and dropped in a batt, and afer that the other 6 switched lol.. made some money from that

Ah, that's on-road...not the same animal...

I emailed Tekin about the R1MT and this was their reply:

We are just getting ready to get back to it. That was an
early rough test that we really did not expect much from.
We have a few Nue motors to use now and will be getting the
trucks setup in the next few weeks. We have to get the 1/10
stuff out the door before we move on. We will know more
soon.

any progress yet???

Just like CC with the MMM. They just talk about it. I remember when Tekin used to come out with some amazing brushed ESC, but now they just talk about releasing something and then nothing. I think people have moved on to other Brushless ESC, specially when they offer ESC that can handle up to 10-12S lipos and gave up on the good ol' Tekin. I used to be a Tekin faithful guy, but they blew it with all the talk. In a few days I might post something right here and in the MMM thread.

Designing a brushless esc is much much difficult than making a brushed esc and when it comes to rc cars, I think we should wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait an.................
