Questions about 1/10 4wd ESC
 

Whats going on fellas. So I am deciding on a new Esc for my 22-4. After research and obvious discussion I have narrowed down to either the SMC-170 2s or a used Tekin rsx. The tekin would be purchased online so slight-moderate risk? Any suggestions

I'm running the Hobbywing Xerun 120a 3.1 on my 22-4 and like it a lot. Runs cool and like all the adjustments I can make.

Both great esc's, if money is no issue I say Tekin.

gad if your haveing brown outs then id add a ubec to what you have now ..just remove the red wire on esc to rx plug... castle pro.. i run 2 1 in my b44.3and the other in my shoe.. 4x4 buggy on clay track.

ESC's are not the usual cause of brown-outs. It usually comes down to Spektrum radio gear or savox (power hungry) servos. All ESC's mentioned are all good. Comes down to money.

What about a little on the money saving side

The SMC Rf-170 is an excellent bang for your buck ESC. Can be used for any 1/10 class imo.

I really like the reviews on this thing, Im guessing the 1s is the better version right?

The 1s version is for Any class that requires 1s lipo. You want the 2s version for your 4wd buggy

Bump for the night

I'm having good results with the HobbyWing Justock in my Schumacher K2 for the 13.5T Super Stock class. My car is one of the fastest with this setup at my local club.

Hey guys hopefully this is my last bump I have changed my original post completely

Well you always take a risk buying used. But I've had good luck so far with any ESC I've purchased used. But with the SMC, you get great support straight from the source and any questions asked, the SMC reps usually only take a day or two for a response and sometimes it comes much sooner. So you either get a full warranty with the SMC, or no warranty with the RSX. Though I believe you can still send it in to Tekin for repair at a cost.

If you want a great speedo for a super affordable price and great service check out RCJUICE and their HobbySTAR Comp. Turbo 120. Their line of Comp 540 motors are stupid excellent. 149 shipped for the speedo, programmer and choice of motor. They look great as well, not that it matters. I know a good amount of fellas running this system and it has worked like a charm. I myself have been using the motors and have been more than happy as they are just that damn good, plus John at RCJUICE provides great service

Have a Tekin RSX along with an 8.5 in my new B64 (and both of my 2wd buggies). I have no complaints and feel that Tekin is one of those, you get what you pay for, products. Their customer service has been top notch every time I have had a question. My only "problem" was when my Hotwire would not operate with my computer. It turned out that the issue was not a Tekin problem, but a problem with my computer. With that said Tekin customer service walked me through a solution, step by step over the phone. I won't own anything other than Tekin because of their excellent customer service!
