What good is a setup that is a couple tenths faster if you are leaving 30 seconds of crashes on the track?




For the majority of the people on this site, you are right. That said, there are some of us that have been doing this a long time, and are actually good enough at this to take advantage of the features of the higher end products.

As for the batteries, it comes down to things other than performance. If a product from hobby king lets out the magic smoke, you're pretty much out the money. If something happens to a product from someone like SMC or Tekin, at least you can get it fixed/replaced for way less than new. It also comes down to the ability to communicate with the guys that work for the companies. Does turnigy have a representative that posts on here regularly?

One last thing, how old are you?
I've been in the hobby for going on 18 years now. Age is irrelevant. And btw, I run Tekin ESC's and motors, and am personal friends with the Campbell family. So I'm well aware of how they stand behind their products, both on here, and elsewhere throughout the hobby. VERY stand-up group of individuals there at Tekin
