Good combo for the price?

Found this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-5T-Sensor-motor-60A-ESC-and-program-card-1-10-Car-/320645349894?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item4aa7f3c206)and wondered if anyone has one and what you thoughts are on it for a 2WD buggy.
Not a bad price for what you get I think

Personally I'd go for a Hobbywing set up if buying from HK, quite alot of good words for Hobbywing set ups throughout threads on here, and TBH the equivalent Hobbywing to this is actually cheaper than the one in your link.

I had the 35a 9T in both my b4 and b44 when I had them, and found even that one to be more than fast enough for me :thumbsup:

the 1 in the link is equivalent to a xerun not ezrun not really read much about the xeruns but to be honest for the price if you cant push your budget then try 1 just check the sizes to make sure it will fit in your car as it does look alittle bigger then a ezrun esc.

37mm(L)*43mm(w)*32mm(H)...might fit havent measured but Id remove the fan anyway.

Thing is I have to have a sensored one IF I want to start racing.. just to try it out. This is one of the cheapest sensored ones Ive seen if I don't go used but even then its still around this price

to be honest sensored just makes it smoother i used a speed passion inspire (sensorless)in my old tc3 and then in my yokomo mr4tc and was good wasnt very jerky like people say they are but its down to driver preference.

just measured and it will fit. I have a hobbyking esc ATM and that measures 47x41x29mm
I had to remove the fan and I resoldered the switch and RX cable to the underside of the board to remove the black connectors. Works well.

I would remove the fan as well as the body won't fit with it on.

I think Ill try one if I dont find a novak or losi combo cheap. Once I get that then its license time and practice practice practice

looks like the sp sensored jobbys / xe just with a differant badge.

No, it isn't.

There seems to be a problem at the moment with Hobbywing rip-offs - that one isn't claiming to be a Hobbywing like some do, but I'll wager it's design has been copied from one.

The authentic Hobbywings are reasonably priced and UK stocked - I see no logic in spending the same kind of money on a copy from abroad.

What are your thoughts on the combo then?
