I was looking at the QC3 as I liked the QC I had, $85 was the cheapest I could find around.

Also considering the Futaba MC230 (90A) / MC330 (200A)

Any suggestions? Looking for something small so I can fit under the small side pods as well.

Thanks!
Lots of us are still hoping Tamiya sees that we need to be running 21.5 brushless in these and not silvercans.

With any luck, their brushless stuff won't be worthwhile anyway and they allow ROAR approved combos for everything, no timing of course.

I picked up a couple speedos from RTR Losi Strike Short Course trucks that are for their 12 turn brushed motors and also have lipo cutoff.
They are working great in my silvercan Tamiya cars, FF03 and F103 and 104s.
Got em for $20 each brand new.

You can probably find these or other similar RTR speedos not being used for the right price if you, like me, feel that buying an expensive speedo for silly $20 silvercans is overkill.
