Ez runs are ok but defineatly go for the next esc size up that little 35Amp jobby will thermal get this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/eZrun-RC-1-10-12-CAR-5-5-T-brushless-motor-60A-ESC-/110417236196?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item19b56150e4) if any a couple of guys have used them and the seem fine,also just a word of advice never buy an losi xcelorin :woot: no matter how much of a bargain it looks... the motors are good but thats it.

Basically the Losi systems had a problem in there firmware, when SOME people updated there speed controllers it corrupt the firmware deeming it useless then has to be repaired or replaced.

Not a good idea Andy - not in the Ansmann Short Course, which is just a Madrat SC. For that you'll find the 5.5t Andy linked far too powerful - you want the 8.5t (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/eZrun-RC-1-10-12-CAR-8-5-T-brushless-motor-60A-ESC-/120447298381?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item1c0b37eb4d) version.
Otherwise though its an excellent system, and more reliable than some costing 2 or 3x more.
The other good option for a Short Course is this (http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=34310) which seems popular for those racing trucks.

Strangely the Losi sensorless system found in the Speed T appears to be slightly less explosive than the sensored version - but I think the Ezrun is still better, especially a 2.0 version.

i went for the speed t rather than the ansmann as i have owend a few losis and i do like them they seem to be as tough as old boots but i will defenatly change over the motor and esc as for batterys whats the best lipo i can get for the 1.10 scale that will fit the speed t
