I ran one . Good deal for $99 . BUT , I would not recommend it for buggy racing . For bashing sure . It is just not smooth enough for me to race with . I have a LRP though . Super smooth . I am not the best driver yet , so I need a smooth set up . Only had a buggy for about a Month . When I had the Novak ESC's in my buggy , I would loop out in the corners . I tried the GTB2 and a Havoc Pro . They also do not fit very well in the buggy . They also had some heat issues when I ran my 8.5 turn motor with them . Could have been gearing related though .
So , IMHO , no for racing . Ok for bashing .
I am a newbie though .
