Back in the day, I used GM racing speedos.. They had the best brakes of any speedo back them. Great throttle, and could handle any motor. I am sure the products are still top notch.

Those chargers look nice and would love to see one in action. Not sure I would use all those features but must be nice to have the option.

lol bro i do not miss brushed at all, well maybe it is just the Nimh batteries I hated. But one or the other sucked lol

How do you program your ESC with the charger ? That is pretty slick regardless lol

I ordered the same 10.5 combo from tower. Had a steering servo that shorted internally and ESC never came back on. Tower exchanged the part no questions asked. After that a customer support guy from oppenhobby called me and had me explain exactly what happened and told me if I had any problems give them a call. Getting the replacement ESC/motor combo in the mail today so hopefully it was just a bad egg. Anyways great customer support from both tower and open hobby on this one.

I have been following Graupner on their airplane products and got a transmitter. They have some nice products so no reason these would be different

Default graupner combo from tower

I had to snag one of those 80r turbo combos from tower , seemed like a good deal to me. so far so good , i have not rung it out at the track yet but i will this weekend and report back. anybody tried to program this thing without the ''box'' yet ? $10 to ship a $25 box seems a little crazy to me . wonder why tower don't carry the programmer is beyond me

I found the program box on amazon for about $8.00 the shipping was free with one of those amazon offers. Programing withount the box is a PITA.

The charger looks nice but it seems like it doesn't measure IR like the iCharger. The combo together with the power supply looks good though
