In that situation you say...

"Officer, I wasn't speeding with a 3cell lipo, I was 5 MPH under the speed limit with a 2cell lipo.."

Well put, thanks for the help. ;-)

Nice write up on the ESC. I am more intersted in the old "Ati Rage" heatsink on your servo. That is a badass idea. I have a milk crate full of old video cards and such that are begging to massacred for this purpose. Nice job on the heatsink.

Thanks for checking into that!!! I'm going to order one of these soon!

Kaetwo.....Great review, Thanks for taking the time to share all this info with the rest of us!

I'll find out for sure on that ;-) Personally if you where a little concerned about the warranty I would just get the FX-R Pro. It has no motor limit, 3 Cell capable through the full motor range, and it has more forward amps. That may just be the ticket. However I'll find out for sure on the FXR warranty.

LOL!!! Ya they work great to cool the servo and protect the case from damage "thumbsup"

My pleasure ;-)

I also appreciate your review. I've checked the vendors on the board and can't find anyone who carries the FX-R. Do you know of any vendors here who carry it? Thanks.

You lie! :flipoff:

I swear to God I just searched Stormer before posting. :x Thanks EP.

NIce write up K2! We appreciate the review and I am glad to hear the results. It sounds like my kind of ESC. I haven't been keeping up with Tekin and didn't even know this ESC existed, I've honestly had the Rebel 2 on my list to get next but looks like this one just beat it out!"thumbsup" Thanks for the info K2.

Well I just talked to Scooter at Tekin and he said that we have Tekins blessing to run the crawler motors (35x1 on down) with the FX-R and a 3-Cell Lipo. They will even take care of the warranty issues should they arise. For those of you runing 19 turns in your rock racers and such, I would highly recommend the FX-R Pro.

Now that's service!!!!!

Wow Kaetwo, nice man! Glad to know it works so well for crawling and such, I can't wait to finish my trail rig and get some good FXR bashing in!

Just an FYI, yes I am part of Tekin, Service Department Manager is my "official" title, haha, but I do it all! Any questions you guys have, feel freel to email me ty@teamtekin.com.

Hey welcome to the board "thumbsup"

It's good to see Tekin on the site. I just picked up another FX-R for my trail rig and can't wait to get it installed and running.

On a side note, I've got wind that The Crawler Store may soon be stocking the Tekin FX-R line as well ;-)

Well hey, if it's cool with you, heh....I want to use your review of the FX-R and a pic or two of your ride. You did a great job and I feel bragging about how well the ESC performs for crawlers!

Not a problem.

If you need images different from what I've posted here, just let me know ;-)

Sweet! Well, check it out then!

We busted that one out real quick and got it live, I can add an overall pic of your rig too.

I just sold my Mamba Maxx and bought one of these and i must say it is a sweet esc! I love all the settings you get when you use the hot wire software. now i just need to get the drag brake set right, i was running 100% on the mamba and i could still roll down a hill nice and slow.But Im set at 43% on the FX-R and it is way to much it just lock's them up when you let off the throttle. But the size is great and is perfect for my tuber, Awesome product"thumbsup"

Very nice "thumbsup" I'll send over some more pics by email ;-)

I have mine set to the Number 3 setting for drag brake and it works great! Try setting it a little lower and you should be good to go.

I'm glad that you like it.
