I was still using A standard size hitec digital servo, and the thing "sucks", It can't center at all.
So I bought ko's 949, and what A difference that made, It was just point and shoot!
After A while playing around the car came to A dead stop when hitting some other guy.
I took the body off and saw that the casing of my speedo was open. That wasn't too serious, I could easily "click" it together.
I checked if it still worked, accelerating went good, but it doesn't break anymore. So I guess my break fet's are history.
I'm planning to buy A new one, since this is A pretty old speedo (nosram dominator, compare it with lrp's quantum pro sport) so repairing it isn't really worth it.
But I'm not sure which esc I should buy, Any suggestions?
$139 VS $169

i had a LRP Quantum Prosport paid $139 for it , it had problems working with 4 cells especially at the 6-8 minute mark in a race. called AE and complained (website specs shows it is supposed to work with 4 cells), got to send it in and trade up. so, i used a Novak GT7 from my TC until the LRP came in...it worked great and solved my problem. once i got the LRP Quantum comp in from AE i put it in the 12th because it was smaller and had no problems with it either.

anyway, i would take the above advise and get up with NOSRAM.
also from what i have been told....the top of the line: NOSRAM's, Futaba's and LRPs............are basically the same ESC
