It's just a rebadged hobbywing. I had an 80 amp and it was junk. It was ok when it was working but I have had nothing but problems with it. It fried after about 7-8 packs with a 1600kv motor. I sent it in to china for a total shipping price of $55 and they sent it back still broken. They at least refunded my $33 shipping cost from them to me. Also it's HUGE.

Is this the one that is sensored as well? It claims it's rated for up to 4 cell lipo? If that's the one, it's real good. It is big but it will easily handle 6 cell lipo. A buddy of mine has them rigged up in a HPI Baja 5B:

He also put one of those ESC's with one of those big blue can 1600kv motors into a Losi 2.0 Truggy. It flat out wails! Blows tires off, makes me cringe everytime. The diffs just have to be screaming as it wheelies and the front tires spin twice as fast as the rear. Motor heat was a serious issue, it was get to 170 degrees in 5 minutes. He designed a huge heat sink out of brass and now it no longer has heat issues. Runs quite cool now. Anyhow, those ESC's crank, downside is they have a bigger foot print than a Castle or Tekin. It would fit fine in a Losi buggy though.
