Im racing 17.5 brushless in my touring car (I know that makes me a bit gay)

Swapping my LRP SXX over between cars is a bit of a pain so im after a good value brushless speed control that will work well with a 17.5 motor.
A race touring on Wednesdays and off road Saturdays.

Being able to increase the timing in the software will be an advantage.

I wont be using it with anything other than the 17.5 so high power isnt important at all. Size and weight are not all that important either as im running a very old Schumacher Axis and there is plenty of space for the speedo and im miles overweight anyway so a few more grammes isnt important.

Can you get a speed control with adjustable timing around the £100 mark?

Tekin RS will be ideal, http://www.fusionhobbies.com/Team-Tekin-RS-Sensored-ESC-p/tk1152.htm

That was the closest I could find but its a bit expensive.
Im not taking the touring car seriously, its just a bit of cheapish fun.

Can you think of anything cheaper?

I dont mind some sort of hong kong thing if it will do the job.

A 60A Xerun (cheaper SP Lpf) off the bay would do the job @ around £60!



Edit: Make that £46 from one seller!
