[QUOTE=lodhammerdin;9410394 Im thinking about going to a lrp tc spec v2 and seeing how that runs. Ill let you know how it goes when I do though. [/QUOTE]

Been running a used TC Spec V1 w/SC4X 4.5 from the day the 4x4 came out....the ESC never gets hot and performs flawlessly. Even in 93 deg temps it is solid. My bro even ran his without a fan w/o an issue. his was used and the fan didn't work but he did add a fan because he could.
