Novak gtb2 with Xdrive ! Simple, robust, no cheating ! Only $115 (half the other's price), and runs cooler......
#3
I bought a brushless hobbies esc for 70 shipped. It's basically the same as hobbywing ezrun 120 amp only for half the price. Some had issues with the lt4 but just get the first gen like mine. I have had my hobby wings for 2 years and at times I've ran them 1-3 times a week without a single issue

V3 is very good speedo, does pretty much everything bar make the tea for you... But if your only going to run blinky, then I can recommend the Justock or Extreme stock.
Justock is like the GTB2, a blinky only esc (can't load timing software to it), whilst the extreme is timing enabled, but can put the blinky software on no problem. Plus, the Justock is only $65, and the Extreme $101, both from CRC..

I have had great luck with my Speed Passion Cirtix. Blinky only ESC, you can adjust drag brake and lipo cutoff that is it.
I just started using the Brushless Hobbies LT4, One in my 2wd SCT and the other in my F104. So far it has been a great smooth running ESC. You cannot beat the price and Brushless Hobbies is in Oklahoma.

I just started back to touring cars after 5 years and use the Mamba Max Pro set in blinky mode. It had as much rip and top end as any of the better guys but they just have a better overall setup and drive better with that setup but punch, speed and topend is not what I'm lacking.
Plus this speedo has room to grow with you and is capable of running in any class you decide to race because it has every feature from blinky, to boost, to torque control and so on. Price they can be found for under 120 bucks. I didn't have any problems getting it in my new VBC Wildfire.

Blinky ???
We are isolated here in Cancun, Mexico. I would like to know what the term "Blinky" refers to or means. I tried Google without any luck.
Thanks

I would use the Speed Passion Cirtix, a proven platform. Great price too. If you want to go a little bit cheaper, go Hobbywing Justock.
