I bought one because I was skeptical of it being so cheap. My next order with them I plan on buying like 10

IDK man both my scalers are brushless. C3 has a Trackstar 10.5 and the C2 has a Fuse 13.5. I've also ran them in my Roc 412 3100kv bouncer and no issues as of yet. One thing of note here is I don't gear for speed, I use a good all-round pinion/spur on them.

Just ordered two for a kyosho snow blizzard. Hopefully run then in parallel to get more Mah so I will have more discharge.

3S would be fun but their mAh and C rating are a far cry from my 6000mAh 65-130c Nano-Tech's.

Totally true. For my 4wd brushless Slash those would come in handy, but for a 35t brushed scx10 the 3s 2,200mah 20c are about perfect.

I was about to say, 3C like the OP said seems awfully low.

No the OP says 2200 mah 3c and I thought that's sounded really low for a C rating

Op must mean 3cell, which is true, but they're actually 20c rating and not on sale anymore. : (
