Lots of frustration and problems with M2. Almost bought one myself.

Go with Holmes Hobbies BR-XL. I just bought one and about to purchase another. Great ESC!

If you have a 4 channel radio, 2 ESC's is better than a dig unit.
If you have a 3 channel radio, 2 ESC's and a WannAmix is better than a dig unit.

Hey, if you end up going the single ESC route, consider my Dig Controllers instead of the Punk unit. I use stronger components and I can be contacted easily if you run into any trouble.

My Futaba 3PKS works both ESCs with only three channels. Much better than using a either a single and punk because you can apply proportional front and rear control plus full lock dig.
