I would look at the LRP or the nosram (LRP too!). Also consider novak speedies, except for the gt7, they are bulletproof (when not abused)

All should work good for 23T or even 19T. I would probably go with the GM out of the 4 you have listed. Why? The king uses GM speedos.

My favourite ESC Manufacturers are Nosram (LRP), Novak and CS Electronics. With any of their products, you should be right with quality. M-Troniks are just plain BAD NEWS. I've heard of one guy blowing 5-6 of their speedys cause he wanted to buy cheap!!

I have been using a GM V4R (reversing) for a few years, and I've been happy with it. My current motor is a 15T, and the ESC handles it perfectly without ever getting hot. It's also a fairly small and light ESC, so I would recommend it.

It isn't ideal for endurance racing with pitstops, though. Instead of a setup button, it uses an automatic setup every time you switch it on. It works, and it only takes about a second, but that's still very annoying during a pitstop, when your adrenaline level is high.

Make sure you don't get an old version, as these had some problems. The newer versions have an on/off switch, the older ones didn't.

I have no experience with the other brands, sorry.

Don't get the cheap one co'z for sure it will just give you a headache but if your not into hardcore racing then get the cheap one but if you really want to get the best one and can also be use in racing I suggest get the LRP IPC sport.. I usually use the novak esc.. sorry I don't have any idea on the other esc that you have on the list...

Cool

thanks guys for the info. my buddy was leaning towards the LRP IPC Sport as well just because its a more "trusted" brand.

came across another esc which is of similar price as well, JR SC-1. what do you guy think about it?
