I have a Team orion r10 , havent tried it in anger yet so i will let you know.

Had a Tekin rs pro which was fab , Nosram before that which was 100percent reliable bar the case cracking.

Any of the big name speedo's will be upto the job.

LRP, Nosram, Orion, Speedpassion, Hobbywing to name just a few.

I've got a GM 120 which is very good, and very adjustable with the PC software or plug in box. Not the cheapest new, but superb quality and very strong and cool running

When you compare price, spec and adjustability the HobbyWing 120A V2.1 becomes seriously hard to beat!!!

I'm running the RS pro in my 4wd and the RS in my 2wd Luke if you wanted to take a look :)

I can bring the hot-wire and my laptop next week if you wanted to see that too

Where could I get a V2.1 from? I cant find them on the racers in exile website.

Thanks.

Or you can buy from the OFFICIAL UK importor, get a proper no hastle warrentee and they will configure the software to suit if you ask at the point of purchase for just £5 more!!!

Follow the link in my sig or www.racersinexile.org.uk (http://www.racersinexile.org.uk)

I don't know if you read my original post Roger (#13), but I cant find them on the racers in exile website.

http://www.racersinexile.org.uk/Brushless_Speed_Controllers/cat446091_372225.aspx

However, I've noticed there is now a v3 on the website, available for pre-order. Are you involved with Racers in exile? if so, do you know when the v3 is being released? I might hang on for that.

Regards,

Chris.

I'm not involved directly no, purely sponsored by them.

I know they have been having some issues with contact through the website (or lack of it reaching them to be more accurate) and are migrating as we speak.

They definitely have V2.1 120A units in, I spoke to Stuart last week and order some.

Not sure on arrival dates for the V3, was meant to be early next year but it may have been brought forward since the last time I enquired.

OK, well maybe you ask if they could put the v2.1 back on their website? :)

It's fairly obvious that people are going to choose an alternative supplier if the official uk importer don't have the current model available to buy?

I use a Hobbywing Xtreme stock in my Durango Chris. Runs perfectly with an 8.5, not tried anything hotter, but expect it to be ok with a 7.5 too. They're smaller that the other Hobbywing's which is why I bought it (I also have 60amp and 120amp V2 Hobbywings and they work perfectly too).

Hobbywing/Speed passion are the best out there for the money. I have tried nearly all of them (tekin rs, novak gtb, speed passion, nosram etc).
The beet bit is they come with a basic programming card included in the price :-).

Hobbywing xtream stock speedo is ace, use it in my touring car in a wet box as its small cheap and RAPID. didnt no it could do blinky tho, shame the instructions dont tell you how to do it or have i missed abit? But £56 is mych better than £75 so gient cod is hard to beat TBH even if it is abit back door
