TEKIN, the Tekin ESC is just better. However even though its not up there Id go with the Quark 33a Pro-Car and the Dynamite 8000 KV motor.

How is it just better?
Does it have programmable throttle and break curves?

How is it just better?
Easier to setup, easier to adjust the settings, you can change things quickly on the fly, where you need a computer to easily change things on the mamba. The case is sealed so debris doesn't enter. Ive spoken to many people who own each, and after examining others with the systems I determined the Tekin is a better ESC. Also, take two vehiles stock and stock; install a tekin and mamba system of the same KV motor, and I guarentee the tekin will be faster.

The tekin DOES have more power but a racer will choose the mamba anyday because of how ajustable it is if they own a laptop

Sure its adjustable, but its not as fast and as hassle free as the tekin.

Honestly, I'd go with the mamba... but not the 8000 - Get the 6800 or something. My personal opinion was that the 8000 sucked, even when the pinion and spur were set correctly it would cog.

Mamba for me as well
I do like Tekin stuff, hell ive been using it for about 15 years on and off[X(]
I really like the USB lead, enables me to set up some great curves for throttle and brake settings.
I decided to stick with CC primarily because of their exceptional customer support.

Wait, the Tekin has more power? I was under the impression that the motors were identical.

Anyway, I haven't had any problems with my Mamba. It comes down to whether you want a fine level of adjustment on the computer or a smaller number of on board adjustments.

That was in referrence to the esc...

My vote is for the mamba as well. You can beat its adjustability, and I've never had issues with mine. The teking esc is cool too, but it doesn't have a computer programming option. Also, I've had two quark 33 esc's burn out on me when I was running well within the specs, so no more quarks for me.
