Thanks for the info, 2wdMod. It looks like I'll pick up this ESC. Embarrassingly, the reason why I selected it is *because* of the purple color. It's intended to match the color scheme I got going on with one of my project cars. The thing is, these days, you can pretty much find what you want, with the specs you want, in the color you want, too. I wouldn't go with a specific-colored ESC unless I was sure it had similar quality, reliability & performance to the more common-colored ones (*ahem* blue or black).
