I'm not biast to any company, but Hobbywing ESC's, tekin Motors/ESC;s, Tenshock motors, are really reliable. 
I can't say the same for novak ESC's and Castle ESC's

I ran my new viper esc this weekend. Didnt try the 5150 motor as i just ran the tenshock 4600 ive been running. I didnt care for the standard profiles in the esc so i borrowed a programmer from a fellow racer and made some changes.....seemed better and i drove pretty well the rest of the day. Only other issue is my lipo dumped at 7 mins so need to figure out some more runtime.....runnin nano 6000's

I run the MMP/Tekin 4600 with zero issues. Very reliable and cool temps.

Anyone getting problems with their bearings?, I was changing the diff oil and noticed 2 of the 4 bearings are already going out, this is after about 12-15 packs, also the outdrives are showing some wear and are being eaten lightly by the drive shafts. (so far I only looked at the rear)
Also what bearings should I replace them with? (brand wise)
I am in Mexico and everything takes two weeks+ to get here, what additional stuff should I get to be ready?

I am thinking about picking up the HD shock bodies and was wondering if they give any performance increase or are they just for looks?
