I've used various Hobbyking products and never had any serious problems with them. Very reliable and good value.

Are these be looked at as a cheap esc ??
Would a hobbywing, lrp, speed passion be a better buy ??
Also I have read that a novak esc gives problems. I have used a brushed esc in novak. And it worked well for me.
Does any one on hear use novak ??

I would be putting my money into a known brand. You won't see the Hobbyking stuff at the tracks or in UK shops so you won't get any support or advice.

What would yous think. Would be a good buy.??
Would you buy a combo ??

I wouldn't buy it, looks more an esc for the basher. If your racing competitive 10.5 touring, I would go for a Hobbywing Xtreme instead for around £60 if you are on a budget, then add a 10.5 motor of your choice.
Also there should be plenty of people around to help you with settings should you get lost. Not that I run one, but many people do and say it's the best for the money. Though if you can wait a bit Hobbywing should be releasing their new esc soon, but it sounds like a HW Xtreme will be fine for you for now.

Other user friendly options without raiding the piggy bank options are:

Speed Passion- Reventon
Hobbywing V2.1 60amp/120amp
Team Wave RB Series

Each under £100, so do some research, and see what you think.

Thanks for yours help.
Will have a look at them esc. Hope to buy one in the next few days.
Thanks again

Sorry. Meant HobbyWing. Easy mistake to make, given that several HobbyWing speedo's are obviously identical to HobbyKing / Turnigy. For instance, compare these two...

Anyone who knows electronics will also know that one is not a simple knock-off of the other. HobbyWing became popular because people bought them from HobbyKing and realised they were at least as good as the more expensive brand name ESC's.

Cheerz!
