I use by B4 buggy for bashing. Just mucking about with my son and GF and their Tamiya cars. I recently destroyed my Tekin P12, and need a new ESC.

I'm thinking about going brushless, but don't want to spend mega bucks on a set up right now (i'm in NZ, so our exchange rate makes an esc from the US or HK slightly cheaper than your average mortgage).

SO, the LRP is my first thought because I can use my brushed motors in the meatime until I can get a decent brushless motor. I read some comments that the A.I. is crap. Can anyone elaborate on that?

Option B is the Sidewinder. It's about the cheapest 1/2 decent brushless ESC i've seen. I can just sit on it until I get a decent motor, BUT can they handle something like a 10.5T with sintered rotor?, as I want more than 27T performance.

I'm using Hi-MH cells, and don't plan to change in a hurry.

Any help / advice / experience?
