Spectrum Firma 60amp 540 vs Hobbywing 540 2100kv exact same?

Hey I know Hobbywing makes spectrum stuff. I was wondering if there are any differences between the Firma 60 amp 2100kv combo and the Hobbywing axe 540 2100kv combo?

Thank you

So far as I can tell, the Spektrum is a detuned version with a bunch of proprietary Spektrum stuff jammed into it. Unless you're shoulder-deep in the Spektrum ecosystem, there's really no reason to buy it over the HW. The Spektrum version has less power (60A vs 80A) a weaker BEC (3A vs 6A) and requires a specific Spektrum program box, while you can program the AXE from your phone. Oh, the Spektrum is also $30 more. If you're all Spektrum, you can do little tricky things like program the esc right from the transmitter.

Great thanks for the info. Hobbywing it is!
