Also I tested 2s as hot as 10.5 with that speed control. It does not get warm at all. I pulled 10-15 feet on the straight over the "laptoppers". I ended up running back to back heats with the same motor and speed control (had 5 minutes to change battery and tires), the motor came off 125, speed control, had no heat. It was 95 degrees. I saw alot of the "laptoppers" letting out magic smoke out of both motors and speed controls trying to keep up.
Ok fine...though it is listed as a 1s ESC. Either way my point is still valid. It is no where near double the cost. One could think of it this way: For only about $60-$70 more you get a netbook too which is a pretty good deal.
