i'm concidering the brushless system noone really wants but we get because it's cheap. hobbywing 60a + 5.5t brushless motor for about $100

has anyone here used the hobbywing 60a for racing? is it reliable? i really like the simple program card.

is there a better quality brushless programmable speedo in same price range...say under $70?? are there any cheapish brushless speedos with program cards/pc link? i really like having programable options.

thanks

You get what you pay for.

most of the time.

the only thing that comes to mind is the castle creations sidewinder...

One of the guys at our club has one in his B4 and it is a WEAPON!

We race fairly casual, so it's not up against the top-end gear, but i'd say it will be fine until you are good enough to feel the difference in fine tuning options the top gear would provide. I am only a beginner to racing, so I haven't been caught up in all the marketing hype of the top manufacturers

Mind you, i'm happy with a Sidewinder ESC and 19 turn brushed

I had a MM, the only resone I sold it was to get a RS pro.

be sure to turn off the car, then the radio, castles escs glitch when they loose radio contct and go to full throttle

Regardless of brand, I think that falls under the "always has been that way, always will be that way rule of thumb sort of things.
