Depends on what you want it for. I've got a SCRT10 (similar to the Nexx 10SC) and it is one of my favorite street bashers. I'm thinking of setting up another one for an oval class our track runs. I wouldn't use one for racing off-road but that's because I have an SCTE that I think is better. But for $100 I would say it is hard to go wrong.

I've never tried 3S in one of the OFNA cars. I had a SCTE 1.0 that I ran on 3S with both a Castle 2400KV motor and a Tekin 2700KV T8i, basically geared to go the same speed as other guys running 4000+ KV motors on 2S.
What I see as an issue with the OFNA trucks is that the cross-pins in the dog-bones are only 2MM diameter and they wear faster than the 3MM dog-bone/driveshaft pins that the SCTE uses. There are tools available to replace the worn 3MM pins and they can actually be replaced with a vise and other stuff without buying tools. They are big and sturdy enough you can press them out even when partially worn. I haven't had such luck trying to replace the 2MM pins in the OFNA dog-bones.
Not sure whet "conservative 3S gearing" would be for you, but I'd be concerned about long term dog-bone drive pin wear and also drive cup wear. Then again, the replacement bones aren't that expensive, so maybe it doesn't matter.

I've got SCTE 2 and SCTE 3 and I think each is a better off-road race car than the Nexx 10SC/SCRT10.
