Default RC4WD esc's

Has anyone tried the esc's from RC4WD? They seem inexpensive compared to other esc's out there but I'm wondering about the quality of them. Currently I have a Tekin FXR esc that I'm extremely happy with. Though Tekins customer service TOTALLY SUCKS!! I'm building a new rig and don't really wanna spend the money on another Tekin. So I'm just curious to find out if the RC4WD are any good.

I have one and it works great. There is no adjustability or lipo cut-off but the dragbrakes are rock solid. Front flips are fun.

Damn, I hate the fact the drag brake is not adjustable. I'm spoiled with that Tekin. Yeah I'm not too fond of front flips. They suck. But I guess for the price its not too bad. And then no lipo cut off? How are you supposed to tell if your battery is low with a crawler? Lol.

Your crawler crawls slower! Once the drop happens, stop running the rig. LVCs are also available that are wired in-line.

Yeah but as slow as they crawl it's hard to tell when the drop happoens. I've never tried a in-line lvc but are they dependable? I just remember talking to a guy who tried a few different ones on his Slash and he said he had a problem with each one.
