I have ran tekin pros, had no issues...
Also had a couple holmes motors, and had no issues... I would recommend holmes just because of the top notch support you get on here, and the quality, I didn't run them long cause I sold the rig I had them on, but were very nice motors..
If it was me, I'd buy holmes...
Or another option is brood, also very good motors and support on here.

I know that doesn't help you much on a decision, but I know there are many Holmes & brood fans on here so more will chime in!
Good luck on your choice!

Can you order Tekin motor with option like stiffer spring, method of balancing or creamic bearing? I think the answer is simple, if you are not fuss with any options and their benefit, just order a Tekin, and hope that you dont run into problem. Otherwise Holmes and Brood will sure able to sell you a better motor to better suit your need and with better support here.

HH or Brood, out of 3 tekin motors all had some form of issues.

Brood 30turn is my xr comp crawler. Nice and smooth start up and plenty of wheel speed.

Holmes does alot for this hobby. I haven't seen Tekin as a tittle sponsor, or any sponsor of some kind in a long time. Go with one who supports what you do!

Agreed.. I put a Tekin Handwound in my son's scx10 cause I got it for a good deal. Well all I can say is that I am very disappointed. I wish I would have used that money to get a Brood or Holmes. I have Broods in my xr and love them. The Tekin is under powered and I have had to cut the comm well before I should have and replaced brushes way faster. Would have more $$$ in my pocket still if I hadn't gone for the deal!!!. Remember you get what you pay for!!!

I ran a few tekin motors back in the day and they all had issues and burnt up real quick. I've had better luck with the cheap integy motors. I have HH in every crawler and basher I own other than my wraith and have never burnt 1 up to date. All though a couple need a rebuild, but that's cheap. So its HH all the way for me. Plus the torque is unreal. I've broke some pretty beef parts with his motors.
