Viper R/C VTX1
Orion Vortex R10
Are they enough smaller that I would see a difference?
Will I gain anything else by switching to a different ESC?
Out of the 3, I am leaning toward the LRP. They make 3 different versions(stock spec, TC, and competition). I race 1/12 17.5 blinky. I don't want to add a receiver pack, so I need a 1S esc. Which one is for that car Or would one of the other esc be better for this car?
thanks
You will not notice any difference going to a smaller esc, if i remember right Marios car with a 1s hobbywing ( same esc as speedpassion) his car was 732 grams, thats 2 grams over the 730 minimum weight, so by going to a smaller esc your going to have to add weight to the car ( probably to the same place on the car that the esc sits cause their isnt much room on the xti) ,this would defete the perpose of going to a smaller esc.
