tekin r1mt

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Any updates?
Im guessing it will be around the $260 mark as the R1 Pro is around the 230 mark

The price should be a little less than the R1pro since it only has 2 pcb's instead of 3 and less fets. Small is always more expensive.

for more info check out the prez's post. hope this help.

under 200$ is what i hear too...

probably a tad more expensive than mmm ['competetively priced' is what they have said by letter].

[skellyo]

I think it will have to be priced pretty close to the same as the MMM for them to have decent sales #'s with the R1MT.

Although I really wonder how their sales of the R1PRO are doing. At $225 + the cost of the hotwire at ~$38 (if you want PC programming), it's a pretty penny for an ESC for a 1/10th scale vehicle. I think that's about $50+ more than most competitive 1/10th ESC's on the market (LRP, Speed Passion, Novak).

We can't deny the fact, though, that the R1Pro is quite possible the smallest sensorless controller in the market. Working on this thing( soldering and so...) is a breez and I can't wait to try it. My first impression of this thing is much greater than the Mamba Max.

I'll definately wait for the RX8 as long as it will handle more cells than the Monster, no matter the cost, no matter the wait.

I've asked Jim for a HV version and I think he'll probably try to make one after the Rx8 comes out.

Is the 1st video at a secret location? Seems to be hidden. Still no shots of the RX8 in the vids just someone playing with it Surely someone got photos of it at the event in the 2nd vid

That first video is at the Tekin facility in Idaho.

RX8 is a dreivative of the the R1pro with a heatsink and a Fan

Interesting...is this thing getting any closer to production?

I'm just sick of all the vaporware and backorders in RC right now...

Tekin make their own stuff, highest quality, hence the higher prices compared to other brands.

I will gladly pay whatever they ask if it ends up being the "bulletproof" controller that I've been waiting for. I thought "that" controller was here, but "that" controller is being fixed/replaced. The wait continues. Bring it on Tekin!
