I "had" a Bullistorm 60amp,it blew after about 5 metres in my X6,sent it back(it took about 8 weeks for a replacement),the replacement did exactly the same thing and blew straight away.I then bought a Hobbywing EZRUN 60amp and have had no probs at all.The 2 speedos look identical except for the labels,i`m wondering whether theyre seconds or sub standard ones that have failed quality control ?Just a point of interest,Hobbyking are selling cheap LiPos that are not up to spec but at least theyre honest and advertise them as such.If you have a Bullistorm,good luck they are a bargain price,it will be interesting to see how long they last,cheers PC.

I think HW are a little more tried and tested, the bullistorm are pretty new to the market and have theie hicups.
Chippy what motor were you running? Did you upgrade the software, I think that is a must. So far I haven't had a problem with my 60A running a x12 8.5, but I havent raised all the settings to max, I think atm I would like a little more speed out of mine but a new smaller spur gear and another pinion will hopefully get what I would like. Get the 120A if you can and upgrade the software to v3 |

Running 5.5T,no not upgraded yet,we (my son has the same combo) have plenty of speed,currently its powering a Mardave V12 with 1S so its not really under any strain.But when we go outdoors again - X6 with 2s, I will be getting the professional programme box to unlock the turbo ect,should be fun!!

The 60A is only rated for a 8.5T and under so yep a 5.5T will blow it up.
The upgraded software will help but for a 5.5T I would have at least a 120A if not more. The 120 is for tops a 5.5T |

i presume it didn't blow in the HW with a 5.5 because of software....

Actually, Hobbywing are Speed Passion's OEM. They've had speedos badged by Muchmore, Orion and HPI at various times too.

sorry have to disagree col
i have hobbywing extreme stocks and the are vastly better quality than bullistorm (i have both so feel competent to have an opinion) its like saying a toyota is like a daihatsu or hyundai its just not true there is a quality difference . on the bulistorm the fans dont work unless you plug em in reverse and the solder posts fall out if youre not careful regards dave |

My 120A has been running fine with no issues. Admitedly its not that stressed running a 7.5 in a Cougar 2 which is too much for the chassis, I will probably pick up a cheap 10.5 turn and turn up the boost. But for £30 delivered to my door I dont think its been too bad.
As far as 60A versions blowing up running a 5.5 turn in a buggy then it does say its too much current draw for even a Hobbywing/Speed Passion 60A. The lower prices have got to mean lower quality FET's etc etc so your just pushing your luck even more!!! |

i'll report back once i get my 120a... long as it works i'll be happy

Would love to hear how they go in a buggy with 6.5 / 7.5 motor
Or even a 13.5 / 10.5 using some of hobbywing stock softwear as i have a hobbywing xtream stock in a wet touring car and its rapid and as people have said it is the same as a speedpassion or the orion R10 speedo. £42 120a posted is a bargin alongs it lasts

O no inwas disagreeing sorry I just ment for the money they seems to be very close but apparently the internals are all different and cheaper. And I did find a thread somewhere where a bloke was saying keep well away they very dangerous and blow up lipos but they were not this one admittedly
