Questions?? Small ESC for TC3

Hello all, I'm looking at getting a new ESC for my TC3. I am running Lipo's and brushless, most of the time it will be a 13.5. I had been running a NOVAK GTB, but took it out to put in something else. I'd like something smaller than the GTB, for sure no bigger. And being that it's a TC3 an older chassis I'm not needing anything way expensive, however, I understand you get what you pay for. Thank you for any information you can provide me.

I'm a Novak guy so I'll never buy one but I'm pretty sure Tekin has the smallest BL esc out right now.

I know what you mean. I run the same ESC, and it takes up a lot of space in my TC4. But I love it.


Anyways, here is a comparison of the two.

Tekin RSpro= 24.5 x 33 x 15.25mm

Novak GTB= 35.8 x 52.8mm

Great thanks all. was looking at the Tekin because of it's size, it has a ton of programming too, but the cost it a little much. But like I've said you get what you pay for. again thanks.
