The pro performance is great for stock and MOD compared to HMX and HW XR10 G2. Also pro performance is great for support and services Brian Mills is a great guy he can help you how to set up your ESC also if your Radio Sanwa/M17 their servo is great up to date i can feel the difference from my MKS servo, protek servo. Pro performance servo feel more connected to the car it seems i was inside my buggy very interesting if you bind in steering to SXR take advantage for racing.
Tekin is behind in terms of recent escs and motors, the Toro is a rebranded SkyRC, Orion is gone but the R10.1 and HMX are good, but he HMX is massively overpriced ($385 anyone?), XR10 pro G2 is the safe option.
What makes the Pro-performance ESC better than others? Its only 150A so less than most for mod but plenty for stock. Its also $210 so more than the XR10 Pro G2 Elite ($200) and the most expensive esc mentioned on this list besides the Orions (which aren't even sold anymore). I'm sure the customer service is decent since its a small company but its a ZTW. Can you explain the actual performance benefits? Also I can't find any information about a computer software for them so that means you have to do all the programming on the LCD card which is a pain. I'm sure they work fine I just don't see why should cost so much with nothing special to offer.
