Tekin Electronics are renowned for their use in everything from backyard bashers to world class professional racers. The Axial Yeti was needing some extra power, torque and control from a sensored system, so the Tekin RX8 Gen2 speed control and the Tekin Pro4HD brushless motor were the perfect fit! I opted for the 3000kv motor for this build being run mostly on 3s Lipo.
