Speed Passion / DualSky - Some Help Please

[FrogPrince82]

Hi All,

I've got a SP Reventon R on order for the last 3 weeks. I chose it because it appeared to give a lot of features for the price, came from a very respected company and also would suite my alloy Exotek parts for added bling!

Since then I have seen quite a few threads and news of people having problems with them, especially with Savox servos (something I also have). As I'm coming back to RC I can't afford to have an ESC blow on me within 3 months and I don't have a spare to switch in if it gives me trouble at a meeting.

I've been wondering if it's worth asking for a different ESC to be sent instead and I've been looking at the DualSky 550-MJ as this is a similar price, so within my budget, and has only been receiving good reviews everywhere I look.

Is it worth asking for the change in my order?
Will the DualSky work with the SP Motor I have already received (8.5T)?
As you don't get a programming card etc with DualSky is it still easy to use?
Will the DualSky still have an issue with my Savox servo?
Are the issue with Reventon only due to user error or when using lower turn motors?

As you can see, I'm new to all the Lipos, ESCs and brushless motors so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
