ESC Recomendations
Morning all,
im looking to getting back into RC racing, atm it looks like a DEX410 v3 or a Cat SX3. Im not familiar with modern ESc's/brushless motors etc. I don't want to mess about, and buy things twice, however i don't have an endless supply of money to burn either and am working to a rough budget of £450-500 for everything. Looking at the BRCA homologated lists, I was thinking of getting the HPI Flux Pro 8.5T motor, can be had for about £55ish online which seems like a decent price. I am now looking to get a ESC to go with said motor, and would like to get something that I can pair with a faster motor for the future, say down to a 5 or 6 turn motor. However I don't really want to spend over £100 on this, and ideally about £75. Is this possible? If so, what will match my requirements? Am I better off looking for a second hand one? and if so, what type/model etc? They are very confusing things, in my day I had a Nosram Dominator HF, 3 pots to tweak and that was it! Many thanks for any help/opinions provided, Cheers, Rob |

Hi fella.
2nd hand is always cheaper Where are you based ? I'm thinking of putting a minty clean 410r up for sale as well as some LRP speedos as I've gone to the Orion R10's. Could sort you out with everything !!! Pm me |

Have a look at the speed passion LPF, im not 100% on the turn limit but i think it handles to a 5.5 and comes with a programming card. Selling for £85 on MB Models.

LRP are pretty good...check out their range. You can find them on the for sale section.

If you want to run lower than 7.5 in 4wd I'd go for a 120A ESC as the 60A ones can be a bit marginal (as I found out last winter).
Look at the HobbyWing V2.1 (do a quick search and you will find them under the £100) and that will do everything you would ever want! If you want a more known brand then you will have to spend a couple of quid more but the Orion is the one to go for if you do! Orion motors are awesome but I have to say that I am always impressed by those HPI motors when I see them running. |

thanks for all the feedback. That LRP X12 motor sounds good, good price as well. I guess it is BRCA legal? Will check the homolgation lists later.
Is the LRP Sphere a decent speedo still or is it not really suitable any more? |
