I agree with Platgof. I currently have 3 rx8 esc's and they been super reliable. The first one I got, I bought it in mid 2014 for my 4wd sct and I can tell you that its been tru hell. I burned motors(testing), puffed batteries, even plugged it wrong(reverse polarity) for like half a second and did not burned. I also own an rxs, an rs spec and a rs gen2. Great ESC's. I don't really like the 1/10 scale motors tho. seem to be weak. My trackstar 7.5Tv2 has more cojones than the tekin gen2 7.5T. Just my opinion.
