i've read the thread for KO BMC, SP GT2.0, and SXX but still confuse which one is the best for 3.5r motor.
i also read the similar thread few pages back but people suggested Tekin RS pro which is not in my list. so i make this thread to limit the comparison to only those 3 ESC.
please help me to choose.
thanks.
If these were my choices, I would pick only 2 of them, and that decision falls to ease of operation.

The LRP is a set and forget ESC. It is pre-programmed, and can only be changed to other profile and braking settings within itself. Choose your program and race.

The KO is another great ESC, but it will require you to carry a laptop with you and purchase the additional, not included, KO PC Interface. The KO ESC can be custom tailored to your liking, but a little testing will be required to get the most from it, but once you get it set right, it will be fast.

When it comes to the warranty and service, KO will have better service than LRP in the event of some type of failure.

So there you go, LRP = Fast and Simple, KO = Fast and Less Simple.
