I run the Hobbywing v3.1 Stock Spec and don't lose anything to the more expensive ESCs (Tekins, LRP Flows, Orcas, etc). The 3.1 Stock spec is 40g I think with the fan.
Almost nobody on the on road side at my track runs Tekin any more. Everyone has moved to something else.

I know for a fact that a Tekin has less punch from a stand still than the black diamond and hobbywing in stock racing . not sure about the new rs gen2 spec . but the older rs&pro had softer punch from a dead stop. Also the orca spark has a even worse dead stop punch ...

You might want to consider that that your setup may need to be tweaked a bit or that the line you're driving may not be advantageous for punch. It took me a while to see that a better setup car allowed me to hit the throttle earlier. The car felt like it had more punch, but didn't. The set up allowed me to hit the throttle that fraction of a second sooner.

The Orca vx1 is hands down a badd azz speedo with plenty of punch!!! Also theirs no need to purchase any boosters or receiver packs well worth the cost!!!

Orca and Hobbywing are pretty much the ESCs to run these days. They're the easiest to set up and are just fantastic ESCs.
Btw, an ESC isn't going to find you another .1 per lap. That's all you.

Don't worry about using Hobbywing stuff. They've signed some of the biggest names in RC recently, and don't forget that Atsushi Hara and Andy Moore both run Hobbywing.

I think you read it wrong. You were wondering about which ESC is best. and questioning Hobbywing's quality. All I said was not to worry about that aspect of it and just get one if you want it.
And no, I didn't contradict myself. An ESC isn't going to magically get you .1 secs. That's conmpletely true. I think you're way too absorbed in trying to get the best hardware that you blame the hardware for your shortcomings in races rather than your driving ability.
Also, unlike you or I, THEY get paid to race, when we have to pay to race. For them, it's income. Whoever offers more $ gets the racers. To a certain extent, however, you still need quality products, which Hobbywing DOES provide.
