Looks scary. 4s and 320a through a Tamiya plug and bullet connectors?  |

It might be good enough until you can afford a better one.

O wait, here's the cheap copy of that one! LOL 320A High Voltage V2 Brushed ESC Speed Controller F 4WD RC Off Road Car Truck T | eBay Honestly, I've had good luck with the cheap knock offs. I've tried a couple before. I would not get this to depend on though, maybe to throw in a beater just for fun. Then no big deal if it goes kaput. If you want the REAL one for $50, go to RC4WD and get the outcry! Support the USA! It's probably made in China though... Who knows if the knock off even has a drag brake. It doesn't specify. And warrenty?? Riiiiight... Maybe with RC4wd, but not the knock offs. Last edited by makaveliks; 02-05-2013 at 12:54 AM. |

You will want a bec to be happy. A power hungry servo, will cause brown outs at 3s. In my mini cooper, ok servo. Perfect.
