Do not buy their products absolutely have the worst customer service ever in this industry. Especially on a Friday just before your weekend of racing because they're closed. Send them an email on Friday today is Tuesday and I still haven't got a response. Don't try to call no voicemail no options to push nobody ever answers Just a recording telling you they're helping other customers. Is there only one person working? I have been buying Tekken products for decades now. From the early '80s. Battery chargers ESCs batteries will never buy another Tiken product again. Problem with that is is I have them in about 10 of my vehicles. I will be swapping them out and I will not be using theirs. Look on eBay you'll find Tekken products for sale.
The customer service is excellent. I had a problem with the product, but they resolved it immediately.
Very fast delivery and was very excited, but my other item that was ordered along with it did not arrived.
Great combo. Turned my Summit into an absolute beast
I have only had the opportunity to run one pack through it, but I have the same one in my tekno sct 410 2.0 and tekno Et 48 2.0. Love this esc. Have never had a problem with it. Easy to use and the 3.0 hotspot makes things super simple. By far my favorite esc. Only thing I would change is how the on off switch is designed. Only have a little time with the motor but it is a super powerhouse. The et48 has tons of torque and speed. Currently running a 15 pinion and will be changing to a 14. I will be adding a fan to the motor but a full pack on a 15 there was very little heat. Outstanding combination!
Reviewers generally rate the Tekin RX8 GEN3/Redline T8 GEN3 combo highly for power, torque and speed, with one owner noting it runs cool even when geared high and another praising its ease of setup via the 3.0 hotspot. Owners of Tekno chassis describe it as a favourite. Recurring criticisms are the on/off switch design, a plastic housing one reviewer considers fragile, and reported start/stop issues after a few months of use. One reviewer said it was incompatible with the Hotwire Gen 2 programmer. Customer service drew mixed comments: one reviewer reported a prompt resolution, while another described unanswered calls and email over several days. A few reviews concern delivery or unrelated items, and the sample is small.
- + Strong power and torque
