RX8 IMO
Pros for HW:
Cheaper esc
Cheaper programming card
Cons:
No warranty
No customer service
Pros for RX8:
Outstanding customer service
Great warranty
Prob. one of the most popular esc's out there today
Cons:
Little bit more expensive as well as for the programming card.....
So IMO I'd def. go with the RX8, they offer a 6 month warranty and even if its out of warranty and something happens to it tekin will fix it for a cheaper fee then buying a new one.......
Can't say which one will give you more power since I've never owned the HW one, but with my RX8 pro4 4600kv motor I have all the power I'll ever need and that's even with the settings very low (timing, etc).......
