Well, i just fried my stock esc, just by plugging the batt in. POOF. so, i can only say that the stock wk electronics in general are a small step above boat ankers. go moped all the way, cheap, and decent.

How many volts? Moped is a big POS in my experience. I'd say Mamba Max or Novak Crawler esc.
