Blinky ESC
 
I want to update the ESC in my touring car.

Any preference between these brands, they are all around the same price - Team Powers Radon MS, Orca OE101 or Hobbywing XR10 80a.

Funny thing is with blinky all ESC's should be the same.......

Not true,yes all have the legal zero timing requirement but can feature different adjustability and also power output due to the internal components

Yes, FET's do come in all kind of specifications and people want the best but on paper it looks always more than finally experienced on the track, that is why 120A and higher are popular because they most of the time used FET;s with the lowest resistance.
But you are searching for tolerances on the best side.

And yes, there are still things different like the feeling of throttle and brake but at the end on the track the differences are too small and the laptipmes comes more to the setup of the car and the driver driving it.

Put a Pro Performance esc in and say that

I hear that all the time, but they're just a rebadged ZTW. So is Team Powers, one of the ESCs mentioned in the original question.

ZTW is an odm manufacturer for esc’s. Them and HW are the 2 largest esc manufacturers in the world and they make esc’s in accordance to each company demands so it is not “just a rebadged ZTW”

I have a ZTW LCD program card, will it work with the Team Powers ESC?

Maybe but you might need to flash the Team Powers firmware onto it.

The PCBs and firmware are largely identical. ZTW don't redesign from scratch each time, they have a few base templates for different size categories. What do you think Pro Performance RC demands that ZTW won't offer to the other companies? It has a slightly beefier BEC but lower rated FETs compared to the Team Powers.

Actually due to contract with our odm manufacturer there is exclusive designs implemented internally along with the firmware in Pro Performance esc’s. We also honest rate or even underrate the spec on every product offered regarding your statement on the FETs.

The ZTW esc’s are faster than the HW why the top brands are using them now. Dakotah Phend has been absolutely on fire since he switched to the Pro Performance esc’s from the hw esc. There must also be reasons why he stayed with the Pro Performance instead of the Trinity esc in his quest to become the next World Champion and his results speak for themselve and the Pro Performance esc

No but nearly every major race the past couple of years such as the Stock Worlds and Offroad Carpet Champs etc. has had Pro Performance esc’s at the front in Blinky stock classes too. That’s definitely saying something about their esc’s in Blinky
