ESC question. Is there a ‘must have’ programming feature the RX8 has that the Losi/MMP or the SCT Pro don’t have? I am already familiar with Castle Link programming and all those features.
Thanks.

Personally i like the current limit of the RX8 and can help control heat issues but i paid as much for my Hobbywing SCT Pro and HW 4700kv ESC/MOTOR combo as you will for the RX8 so depending on what your budget is...can play a roll but my gear keeps up with the Tekin and im more than happy with my decision and would do it again, only downfall is warranty from HW but no problems here.
ENJOY

How would this combo be in the scte? Also, how would it compare to the rx8/pro4 4600kv performance wise?

But with the LCD programmer there is roughly 10 settings total

I know a few people who run a tenshock and a hobby wing ESC and have been doing pretty well.

Others have suggested the tenshock sc401 but I'm wondering how it stacks up to the pro4 and what esc to pair it with.

Hobbywing SCT Pro and HW 4700kv here on 13t and loving it, plenty of grunt even with punch on 1, thats what i have it set on and paid just under $200 shipped from FalconSekido.com Comes with programmer, 2 pinions, wiring and all that jazz
