I have been setting up my car to race in 540J can class the ESC that I am using is just a cheap HPI one.

With all the different ESC models and seeing as 540 engines are not as advanced (not all the bells and whistles) as some of the newer motors. Does the speed controller that I use make that much difference on the 540 J can motor. Will I not be as competitive if I don't get a $200-$500+ speed controller.

I was looking at the LRP TC but if its not going to make a difference on my motors performance then is it worth getting..

Any people that run 540 class do you get a performance advantage running a high end speed controller with a 540 Can motor.

Thanks
