It will be interesting to see how the castle 3800kv copes in the Tekno, I know it will be fine in the slash as both Pete and I ran the same combo and it was awesome in the lightweight slash.

The Tekno however is a different beast, its a lot heavier and may or may not give the esc and motor a bit of a hard time? If it copes it will at least keep power in a decent range and not make it SO FAST its undriveable like some of our setups LOL Slow is definitely faster in my opinion.

Hobbywing do some really good ESC's which wont break the bank, I think the SCT pro combo is 150amp ESC and 4000kv 4pole motor and thats about the same price as the Castle kit I think at around £115 all in. Karlos and Pete both run HW motors and they are very very good for the money. The ESC didnt last long in petes car but we do believe it was the monster 550 4.5t Trackstar motor that killed it.
