Deciding on a new ESC
Which is the best 1/10 brushless esc for around £100? I'm gonna be using it with a 6.5t brushless in a 2wd buggy. I'm toying with the sp reventon pro, but looking at toro's and hobbywing. I've been down the budget routes before with mixed success, speed passion gear has always been good though. Is there something else worth looking at?
Battery is an orion shorty 5400mAh 100c. |
I picked up a used LRP Flow with a 6.5 LRP X20 motor for just over £100 to go in my 2wd.
Have to say so far it has been faultless and easy to set up. I was initially looking at a new reventon pro combo but then again I don't mind buying second hand, though it was in very good condition. |

LRP Flow £99.99 (onboard programming) Vampire SR1+ £93.49 (onboard programming) Absima CTS10 £89.99 (Requires programme card -combo £109.99) All really good escs with solid back up http://insidelineracing.co.uk/inside...ed-control-esc |
longer thread
Hi Minke,
I asked the exact same question last week. Theres a lengthy thread with lots of peoples views. http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169209 have a look over it as it seems your in the same boat. I opted for the Absima CTS10 from insideline as mentioned by kev above... speaking of which I think it should arrive today :) |
Didn't see that one Stickygeko, thanks. I'll take a look at the vampire sr1+, not seen that one yet.
It also looks like size and/or height may possibly be an issue. Ive not got the budget for a slim servo and not going to shelf my savox 1258. |
tight space
to be honest theres not much room in my b5m with a servo the same size as yours an esc the caps a switch and receiver and pt... along with saddles
what cars it going in? |
Was going to go into my cougar, an internal reshuffle is in progress and will be using a spectrum micro receiver.
|
room
Should have plenty of room
|
I really liked my dual sky 870tf esc. it is very smooth. Hobbywing v3.1 is good shout. I wouldnt touch speedpassion esc with your pole...
|
I like the reventon pro it's got lots of punch and brakes (brakes set to 70% or wheels would lock up )and never let me down , I also tried the muchmore pro ( the one after the speed passion reventon Copy) it's a fast smooth esc
Only spot using about as went to gforce 160 a little more then u wanted to spend at £130 but also strong and good for space a power cap is inbuilt |

ive had one of these in my 2wd buggy on a 6.5 motor for over 3 years,
racing it every 2 weeks and its still going strong, old but amazingly good esc...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOVAK-GTB-...item280208f081 |
I've just bought a Hobbywing V3.1 which I'll be fitting tomorrow night. First impression from taking it out of the box is that it's much smaller than the other speed controllers I've had and the wires come already soldered onto it :thumbsup: I'll let you know how it goes once I've tried it on Friday night.

Just found a Nosram matrix evo istc in my old spares box. It works fine, just needs a new fan. Is it worth using this? I'm quite happy to splurge on the reventon pro (cant find a vampire in stock) but if the Nosram is still competitive, I can use that - hopefully with my almost new lrp 6.5T motor.
