On the other hand, the Just Stock esc is only able to handle the ampreage that stock rated motors put out. If you tried to use the Just Stock with a mod motor you would fry the ESC.
So, if you are thinking about possibly running mod classes in the future, you should think about getting an ESC that can handle mod motors while also having a blinky setting to give you flexibility in the future.
Hopefully this makes sense!
It does thank you. I do run a Just stock esc with my 21.5t USGT car with no problems. Could I do the same with a 17.5t.
