Looking into getting a new esc for my truck........ should this one suit the sc10 4x4 well with a reedy sonic 4.5 550 motor?

Good. F@%^ing. Luck. Buy a mainstream ESC. If it goes bad, at the least, you can get it replaced. I would suggest the Tekin RX8, or the Mamba Max Pro. I went with the Tekin, just in case if I bought an E-Truggy. :sweat: I've got to pick up some Double Dee's for my truck. Falling behind because I don't have any! |

Support is nice, but when you can get something for half the cost you can afford to have a spare instead :) much better to have "instant support" sometimes

That's Bad business and inside that logic is what is keeping jobs in China producing that crap.
Edit: Sorry... but that logic is what is destroying the "Local Hobby Shop". I do buy good equipment because most of the time it's not viable to have spare quality parts around and I don't want to DNF due to equipment failure, so I buy the good stuff to begin with. But, when you can get something that works for you at half the price, and your not racing so it doesn't matter when it dies, only that you don't want to wait 2 weeks to get something fixed, cheap backups work well. |

We do dozens of special orders every day. 2 day delivery and no shipping costs for the customer. And more. :( |
