I am considering one of these but the warranty procedures will decide if I pull the trigger.
Anyone care to share their good or bad warranty experiences with Trackstar esc's?
It does not cost $50 to ship an esc to China... If so, you are doing it wrong, lol
Buy from West Coast USA Warehouse, return to West Coast USA Warehouse. Very simple. I have personally gone through about twenty Trackstar esc's and only had one dud. I waited too long to test it so it was out of warranty. I've never had the others fail on me. I also don't have a history of poor soldering techniques, shorting out, pushing electronics to the max, or generally just plain killing RC electronics. If that describes you, give Trackstar a shot. If you are the opposite, spend 3X more on Tekin and their staff will hold your hand through every mistake you encounter.
I did buy a set of dud lipos from Hobbyking before. The RMA process was simple, pleasant, and fast. If you feal squeamish about spending your money on this brand or from this store, simply don't. Spend 3X more on Tekin or whatever other brand.
Or buy the Toro version from another certified retailer like rcmart.
And to answer the other question, I haven't touched Win10 yet. But I'm pretty sure that's a basic question of how to use compatibility mode.
