Here's what I run:
RC10B44.3 - Trackstar 120amp Turbo ESC - 5.5t Trackstar "Redcan" - TS920 Servo
SC10.2 - Trackstar 120amp Turbo ESC - 7.5 Trackstar "Redcan" - TS900 Servo
RC10B5M - Trackstar 120amp Turbo ESC - 8.5 Trackstar "Redcan" - TS920 Servo
I also run Turnigy Nano-Tech lipos in most of my cars/trucks too.
I don't care what anybody says, you can beat the price vs. performance.
EDIT: I've since swapped all the ESC's out to the 120amp GenII ESC, I find that it is much more responsive and a bit smoother than the Turbo ESC's.

Converting to Electric? DO IT! No mess, no tuning, no noise... it's great!

The ESC is made by Hobbyking and as far as I can tell it's a Toro knock off. It's a really good ESC. My buggy was wicked fast last year and the motor and ESC ran super cool. Around 125 degrees if I remember correctly.
As you can tell from my posts and the others on this thread, the Trackstar stuff is pretty good. I know the super low cost may throw up some flags but, I'm now a die hard believer in the products. I run it exclusively as well as Trackstar Pit Lights, Pit Mats, Lipo Bags and any other Trackstar stuff I can get my hands on.

It can take them quite a while to get some things back in stock. The last genII 150a I bought, it was over 3 months before they came back in.
They are both available in the International warehouse. Since they don't say in transit for either of the US warehouses, it would be quicker to order from the the International and maybe select a quicker shipping option.

This one is smoother than my genII 150a, and in stock in the East warehouse.
