I am super impressed with the Speed Passion GT2.0 (both PRO and LPF).

I find them smoother and more adjustable than the LRP / Nosram units they replaced, are considerably cheaper.

As they have plug in switch, reciever & fan wires they are easier to swap between cars if you have to and also easier to repair yourself if you damage a cable.

I find the handheld programer much easier to use than looking at LEDs and trying to push tiny buttons on the ESC itself too.

Well worth a look especially as the LPF version (perfect for 2wd but was happy running a 5.5 in my 4wd too) is available for under £114 @ Microtech :)

Don't bother with the LRP, way too agressive for off road, imo.

I agree go for the Speed Passion gt2 Pro blue/silver had both you mentioned (SP & LRP) and SP way better (smoother but still nice and punchy)....

Another vote for the LRP/Nosram, never had any problems and found delivery acceptable.

Also more recently the Castle Mamba Max Pro I have found excellent and represents very good value for money IMO.
