But we are just developing an ESC supports 1s Lipo.
We had good 1/12th results with the 60A version last winter (4 cell's nimh, with 10,5SP motor, spec class. The esc had the standard SW, timing on max. setting)
And It really 'flew' in a one off no limit race with the HW 8,5

Performance was very good, but the footprint was a bit big, also should the heatsink kept to a minimum for pancars (like the 'blue' german esc's) it was'nt the most fitting esc under the modern low profile 1/12th bodies.
Also the soldering tabs are a bit high for that purpose.

Hope the 1S version will be available next winterseason (from october ?) and that it will have the specs as I said above !
