Well, for the ESC/Motor combo @ A main - yup! (I suppose you assumed $300 just for the ESC, that would have been another story..)

But I will look into the RS (non-pro) as well.
You guys have preferences regarding setup/tuning of the two ESC's? Which one is easier to adjust / connect to a laptop?

Thanx for all replies so far - where would we all be without forums and helpful people?
