The Hobby Shop in Dayton, Oh had eight in the VTA class today. This didn't include two of the regular racer that didn't run today. I can't wait to get my VTA ready to join them next week.

Favorite VTA ESC's?
I would like a few people to sign off which VTA legal ESC's everyone likes and why:
Lowest Voltage Loss?
Interesting Throttle curves?
Punch?
Lightest Weight?
Smallest Footprint?

It has so much punch when I squeeze the throttle. There are no programmable throttle curves to worry about. I learned that you can change some of the drag brake settings, but you need to purchase a separate programming card to do it. The Cirtix also has a smaller footprint than the Novak GTB and it weighs less too.

I've tried 4 different ESCs and my favorite by far is the Speed Passion Cirtix Stock Club. I've also tried using the GTB, Havoc 2S, and Mongoose.

Do you have to run it with the fan when your using it with a 25.5 motor?

Just Curious..... How many entries for each class did you end up with so far?

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make the Southern Nationals. However, I am going to try to make all of the Hurricane Series races, and maybe Snowbirds.
You can compare the stats to all of the Novak ESCs here...
http://www.teamnovak.com/products/es...spec_chart.htm
Main difference is that the GTB2 has a lower "on resistance", the Havoc Pro has the same but will be more expensive. The Havoc 3S can handle up to 3 cells. Then there is the Mongoose...... I think if you are only going to run 2 cell Lipos, the GTB2 or the Mongoose would be better the choice (I just bought the GTB2 for VTA).

Also using this esc, no problems with it what-so-ever, and great price!!

I'm using the speed passion cirtix now. I was using the old Novak gtb. I liked that you could adjust the GTB without buying a card unlike the speed Passion. But the only adjustments are for brakes, and that's what the boards are for anyway.

Mike's Hobby Shop in Carrollton, Texas was interviewed by NBC news to get the word out throughout Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding areas about Mike's awesome, one-of-a-kind in the U.S.A., R/C racing facility.
