e.s.c what to get??

[tamiyaterror]

guys im trying to budget for a return back in to 1/10th tc, and need some advice on speedos,
when i quit i was running the tekin rs pro, which was great at the time. i just wondered if anyone out there runs its replacement the tekin rsx? and if so is it any good?
generally what are peoples thought on the rest out there, orca, bd etc? id be running blinky and boosted, and id rather get the best i can so budget isnt too much of an issue.
thanks in advance.

Hobbywing v3.1 so easy to change profiles and settings and enough adjustment to get lost in.

Dualsky go well

[tcboy1983]

The muchmore fleta pro is a good esc

[OneKiwi]

HW V2.1 great esc
Orion R10/Absima
Orca

[stegger]

+1 on the MuchMore Fleta pro, I've got 2 now :D

Not sure which touring car class you are planning on racing, but ORCA are probably the most popular ESC for touring car racing at the moment, if going to do 13.5 or 17.5 the Yeah Racing Hacktronic is virtually the same as the ORCA and a great price at £69.99

Hpi pro flux

[pugs]

Orion r10, orca, hobbywing v3.1, hpi pro flux, abisma all these have hobbywing/ speed passion circuits anyway, and I would take a guess and say the muchmore does as well;) there isn't many that don't but they are lrp/nosram, novak and tekin:) I cant say about the dualsky as I ain't had one apart:lol:

+1 This esc just makes me a better driver! I use them for 2 years now. They have never skipped a beat. HIGHLY recommended, if you can afford them.

The 2.1 however is a very fine esc as well and you can find 2.1 clones for about 30euros... ;-)

If you are familiar with the RS Pro and the hotwire system, the RSX uses the same interface with the added ability of telemetry. Hardware is the business, and now you don't have to keep unplugging the receiver wire to do any hotwire changes as they have included a port.

Orca VXX! Well worth the money and a brilliant speedo, can't fault it.

[tamiyaterror]

thanks for the response guys, seems its all pretty much of a muchness out there then at the moment, how do you change the settings on the orion r10 and the orca vxx, via a programming box or same as the tekin via usb?

[Ashlandchris]

The R10s can be done with a prog box as long as you don't have the 45A or 60A models as these are incompatible. As I found when I bought the prog box.:cry:

I use SP in my buggies and they are very good and easy to use

[dpackster1980]

Orca VXX is nice, compact and the throttle is silky smooth. The only thing is that to make any adjustments you need the programming box but you do with many esc's now. If you're anal about wiring on the 4.0 firmware you can swap the A&C poles over which I did. :p

I'll be buying one for my 2wd thats for certain. :thumbsup:

[cmgreen]

Can't go wrong with lrp or Nosram, wonder what the new reedy one is based on or even the Sanwa

[kasiraki]

GM ESC are very good in all

[Funkymojo]

All the esc listed by the members here are good esc. You can also try the Skyrc Toro TS 120A esc. It's cheap and really good. As good as my HW V3 and Tekin but cost way lesser...

Japanese RC company Gforce sells the same esc but rebranded and cost more. The Toro TS 120A is very popular in Japan too...

+1 for the skyrc been running one in my losi 22 2.0 all year great speedo.

[BazzerH]

Skyrc ts120 are brill. Nice that if you want to run blinky all you need to do is set boost and turbo to 0 and the led starts blinking. No need to flash blinky firmware.

Anyone got any experience with the Tekin rsx or the vampire sr1 plus ?

[cutting42]

I have 3 x SR1+ and 1 x SR1. The SR1+ have been faultless and I run them every week. The SR1 had a problem when new but was replaced free under warranty. I then plugged it in backwards a year later out of warrentyand blew it up (my fault) and it was replaced with a new one for only 50% of the cost of a new one.

I like them, very smooth and powerful are programmed by a button on the ESC rather than an external box or PC connection, I always run the factory settings as they suit me.

Hi the fleta is like the sp /hobbywing softwear but they have added drive freq it a really good esc but u will need to buy their programmer card

[shaun m]

Hi thanks for your help , can it take speedpassion software , like the old 528mod software ?? ..cheers shaun

[dibble34]

Get the Orca, best speedo I have ever had. Much smoother than the old speed passion esc's. I also have an orion r10, but it doesnt have as many options as the Orca and doesn't feel as good to me.

No it takes its own software and it can be smooth or punchy as u like easy setup
Even gives u max rpm of last run

[reg]

LRP flow or nosram pearl are excellent!
Download the firm ware program for the class your doing,then it's just buttons on the speedo and no box needed :)

That's what I thought, but I re-read the OP and realised he's trying to work out a budget, not work to a budget
