The TC Spec ESC shown int he photo sis what we use for testing and racing with 3S and 4S. You do have to add the Novak BEC circuit and make a small modification to the circuit board.
We have found that the best buggy setup for an indoor or 1/10 track is a 1/10 controller with Novak motor and 3S battery. In a buggy this will weight just over 7 pounds.
In Truggy, the same setup will work but a 4S might be more suitable. Of course the setup depends on the track and conditions.
EDIT: I was not aware the the press release recommended the TC Spec ESC. In its stock form it is not recommended. Although I would be happy to tell anyone how to make it work.
