| Any thoughts on skyrc cheetah sensored brushless system?
so i'm looking for a pretty inexpensive brushless system to run in a scaler. saw the following: Cheetah 1/10 60A Sensored Combo i would probably pick up the 13.5T for my needs. just curious if any has experience with this system. looks promising for the price. i realize it won't have the tunability of some of the bigger names (holmes, castle, etc.) but that is ok. for reference my other option is a traxxas vxl-3s with 3500 brushless system. |

| Re: Any thoughts on skyrc cheetah sensored brushless system? I love it! It was suggested to me by another member of this site that happens to be a member of a local crawling club. He's also had great luck with his and I believe he has bought more of these systems. And I know he said at least one other person in the club has since gotten this system. I have zero complaints.

any issues running only a 35A esc? Drawbacks to the lower amperages?

dont know about for crawler duty but i use the skyrc cheetah 8.5T 4000kv in my associated T4 and i have no complaints. no issues thus far with it. i would however relay my experience with the velineon systems and say avoid those like the plague, went through 4 of them in a month they kept burning up a phase in the esc making them only usable for brushed motors which is not what you are paying for, also note traxxas kept giving me excuse after excuse telling me i was doing somethign wrong ( which i found odd seeing the velineon was in a rustler vxl with factory gearing. ANYWAY, the skyrc cheetah units are good i think. and for the price definatley best bang for your buck. |

I used one in a B44.3 and was happy with it. I think it was the 8.5t

It might be three years old but people like me still come to look up information. This has convinced me to pick one up to replace the stock esc that keeps over heating for no reason in my trailrunner.
