SC10 4x4 Thread
Makita is my favorite too, but I got this little Ryobi for around $40 and a spare battery for another $10 I think, and it works great for RC and it's easy to stash in the tool box without needing yet another case to haul down to the track.

It's absolutely the Godsend of... Godsends when you work at a Hobby Shop and have Cars come in 5-6 times a day and they want it 'now'.
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?

+1.
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.
I've got to pick up some Double Dee's for my truck. Falling behind because I don't have any!

If you go with that, You won't get any help from us, because we buy quality. (not trying to be a douche', only trying to warn you respectfully)
In that case, I like to gamble in the new year:

Gimmie 20a ffs.

Edit: Support being: Something's wrong, take it in and swap it out. Or Talk to an American in Texas who mails you a new one.
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.
If I could rely on my LHS having the parts I need in stock when I need them, such measures would not be required, but for me that is never the case.
