tekin rsx esc

Randy told me no, I guess its the weight of the truck more than the motor used they are worried about. With the Orion you can run basically what ever motor you want but good luck keeping a fan on it, Personally I went back to a Rx8 Gen2 in my Pro4, other than having to replace the case on occasion they have been solid for me and the footprint is a little larger with the RX8 but they are very light for a 1/8 scale ESC.

4wd SC is the highest load in r/c racing right now, don't take it for granted and try to run something that's on the edge.

The only 1/10 size ESC I have seen that can handle a 4wd SCT without getting too unhappy is the Hobbywing V2 (sensorless only though) and the Dualsky XC870TF (Small but chuck it in blinky mode and it'll run a 4wd sct all day.

I hadn't heard about anything on weight limits(but then again, I never weighed my Associated FT SC10 when I was racing it), but I'd still think if a gen 1 RS(non-pro) can handle it with a 17.5, then the RSX certainly should(but I've been wrong before).....
