On the esc and speedo, I would personally go with orion just because I have never tried one. I like my tc spec in my 44.1, crazy acceleration and delivers great power. Boosted tekin can give more top speed, and with adjustments I can get it to accel close to what the tc does. I still like tekin due to their great customer service... I dont like their 17.5 or 13.5 motor though. I got way more punch and speed out of the 17.5 duo d3 than I did out of the 13.5 redline.
Yep . Good point on the gearing . I was thinking backwards . Going to give it some timimg at the track tomorrow . It could handle some more top end . Maybe even go to a bigger pinion .
As far as the speedo goes , I will get a LRP SXX . I have one in my B4.1 . Best I ever had . Super smooth on the brakes and plenty of power on tap . And when it brakes , becuase all ESC's do , I can just drive over to Associated and get a new one . No questions asked .
