Default building 1/8 buggy, time to pick ESC
The buggy for bashing and some speed runs and I want to get some input on ESCs. Have narrowed it down to these ESCs capable of 6S.

Mamba Monster waterproof
Xerun 150A
EZrun 150A

I like that the Mamba is waterproof although not sure if I really need it in So.Cal.

I'm a bit concerned with Xerun since I would have to solder the cables to ESC vs other two which come w bullet connectors already attached to cables and just plug in vs soldering. I'm decent at soldering and use Hakko station and soldered bullets, deans, traxxas with cables up-to 8awg.

My concern is that when I heat up the ESC posts on Xerun to solder my cables, if these are soldered internally would that solder melt and possibly short something internally. Or am I being paranoid here?

Anyway, I'd appreciate some thoughts on these ESCs:
