|  Tekin Fxr vs B1r
I just bought a new motor (reedy stump puller) And now i was thinking aboat buying a new ESC, I looked on the tekin FXR and B1r. The B1r is much cheaper, but is it good? I guess the only difference is the programming options. Or am I wrong? |

Im in the same spot you are. I have decided on a motor, just cant choose what esc I want. I like the B1R cause of the size. |

Almost exactly the same ESC..... biggest diffrence between FXR and B1R is the internal bec. Many Top Drivers are going to the B1r since they use external BEC's anyway. | |

I just had a B1R burn up on me. Got into a little bind and while trying to work through it, the FETs just couldn't handle it, let all the magic smoke out. Just went back to a FXR, don't think I'll go back. My $.02.

i've been through 4 B1-r's with problems and had them all replaced by Tekin, my bad luck probably. put in an FXR and have not had a problem since, and my MRC finally runs right. got a mini torque master when they were still available and i hope it lasts forever, awesome combo.

Cant go wrong with either the FXR or Mamba Micro Pro.  |

Not used a BoneR (!) but I run an FX-R combined with a holmes mini torquemaster (22T and 33T). Works superbly, especially with the hotwire link for tweaking the settings. ALways use an external BEC too. Love the FX-R. and its pretty small. I use a SR3500 RX, which is tiny, so next the FX-R they take up little space (both fit in the cab of my mini juice). |

I have used a CC BEC for years now on all my trucks. It insures that I get 6V to my servo and doesn't put any sort of drain on the ESC, so it can do what it is best at, supplying the juice to my motor. |

However I did notice it came with that big capacitor. But in the install instructions it doesn't mention what to do with it... Any suggestions on what I solder it to? | |

i have both MRC gc2 -tekin fxr -insane 370 motor -futabu 59551 race roller MRC pro -mamba micro pro -HH torque master/now losi mini-s motor -JR z590m havnt had any issues with out running a external bec. i like how both setups have very little wire(very clean) take up very little space witch is need being that space is very limited on both gc2 and pro chassis. electronics wise the best performance as far as power, smoothness, and agility is going to have to go with the gc2 set up. dont get me wrong the pro crawls amazing but i think it can do better with the electronics my gc2 has as far as b1r gos i here they only work well with mini servos... that dont cut it for me. i really like not having more wires running around for a external bec. i have enough of that with my 3 comp rigs. id rather keep my mini's simple |

I love my B1R its small and it pretty easy to adjust once you learn the two buttons! it gets warm after about 35- 30 min of running my mini tourqe master on a 2s lipo but never too hot, its a great little esc! IMO the fxr is over kill for this rig! the B1R has no 380 size motor limint. | |

i dont doubt u have zero issues with an external BEC wired up. but for my personal preference i like not having extra wire and hard wear to have place for. id rather have a esc that has a good enough internal to handle it all. but thats just me. true it may seem like over kill but b1r's are roughly $55-$60 depending where u get it. a ccBEC is like $21-$23, FXR is $99. i guess im paying and extra $20 more or less for cleanliness. might not be for everyone but to me its worth it     these are old pics from an old set up but its just to kinda show how i have mine. ill take better pics later but this is what i have for now. |

I have only run Tekin ESC from the 80's to the present. burned up a couple 4-20s in my drag car but that was along time ago before 1700's come out aka the (purple cells) i have now a used FXR and no problems at all Tekin is pretty good about replacements. my thoughts the are the top of the line hands down ESC and motors
