I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that the Hobbywing 3.1 is the best ESC out there. From the perspective of price and performance there is nothing better. The 3.1 stock spec is the best esc you can get in its price range and will run a 10.5 all day long. If you want to test the waters the Hobbywing Justock is rated down to a 13.5. Its $50 and is every bit as good as its nearest legit competitor at more than twice its price point. Things have changed, 10.5 is a lot of motor.
All that being said, I feel like a bit of a traitor. I really like the folks at Tekin and their service but their products just aren't as good. I want to buy Tekin but the RS doesn't cut the mustard and if the RSX is the best they have I'll have to stick with Hobbywing or Orion (which hobbywing produces). Hobbywing in the US is based in Los Angeles and has excellent service too.

Hi all,
Been out of the hobby for years and was always a hardened Tamiya Fan, seem though they don't have much on offer for 2wd anymore. Myself and a few friends are looking to buy a few B5M Factory Lites and run a 10.5 "stock"class.... Any thoughts on ESC or Motors, I see Speed passion and LRP have some neat combos.
Also want to ask where the best deal is for one at the moment, especially with black Friday tomorrow over there in the States.

I would recommend the Orion R10 Stock esc and a Reedy Mach 3 motor, pretty sweet combo!

Car's action after landing a jump
When my car lands it sometimes will kickout the rear end even when I am not on the throttle. When I jump it straight it will immediately turn to the left on landing. I have rebuilt my diff recently and I believe I have it adjusted properly -more on the loose side than anything else. I have the slipper adjusted on the loose side as well. Any thoughts on what I should be looking for in the car that would cause this kickout issue? Thanks.

I personally would not want that. mostly because the cause has been discontinued and is missing a ton up updates.

Thanks Gooba. This makes sense.

If it's a great price it wouldn't be too bad. The only Savox motor I have seen ran WAY hot. If I were serious about running 17.5 I wouldn't want to be running a 25C battery either. Also, if MC Ions aren't the tire of choice at your track then they aren't very useful either. I guess what I'm saying is we need more info about your situation.

Is the light kit good for mod?

I could find very little on Savox motors, their servos are everywhere but I didn't even know they made motors -- so that's very helpful thank you. Less worried about the battery as I have others that would be better in the long run.
Also didn't realize the team kit is discontinued. I'll have to think about it more I guess, the price is pretty appealing though.
Thanks for the feedback guys!

Just like the 22 3.0 is for those who own a 2.0
Unlike TLR. The good thing for AE guys, the CE isn't a "new" car. Meaning you can buy a Team or Lite car pretty cheap and it's still basically the current platform. Good deals can be had for those not absolutely wanting/needing the CE car.
