BEST ESC AND 17.5 MOTOR
#16
I'm looking to buy a XERUN Stock Spec ESC Black Edition for mod. What's a good TURN to purchase for mod?

My advice to the op is to use different speedos for mod and stock.
Blinky software varies considerably from brand to brand. They're not all equal.
I've used a Black Diamond for many years but recently started to suspect I might be at a disadvantage. Changed to Tekin RS2. Half-3/4 lap faster on tight carpet layout. I was able to use more can timing without overheating so had more punch yet stable temps for consistency. Tekin simply had more raw power over the run which is what's needed with a 17.5.
In mod the delivery of the power is everything. So you're looking for feel and traction. Not outright power.

There definitely is a difference brtween the esc's in blinky. We have tested a few on a motor dyno and the HW and Castle seem to be the best in blinky. It isn't top rpm but in the torque they let the motor produce.
I recommend the HW 1s because of its program ability, it has a built in booster, it tests near the top in that all mighty torque number and it works well from stock to mod.

Yes you do need a programmer and a computer to put it into "blinky" mode. The computer is needed to change the mode in a V2 and between profiles in the V3's. Once you are in a mode you want the programmer to change settings within the mode/profile. It can be done with the button but that is a pain.
