From what i have read on the RIE website the Hobbywing does all of this - correct? If so (and here is the numpty bit) what will the 60A version lack as opposed to the 120A - will it be punch in my stock class or power????

£74.99 for a 60A version looks very tempting, but will i be losing out to the LRP's?

Thanks all,

Hi Chris,

firstly the HobbyWing ESCs gives you all the adjustments that you would want for stock class racing, especially those that you need.

I would say the Xtreme Stock is perfect for your application, I run it with a 13.5 in my TC without a fan and it's perfectly happy (although of course the fan is an insurance policy so I would advise you use it whilst you get used to the effects of the settings).

I am still playing with the settings BUT have something that works fine for me in terms of drivability and is plenty fast enough with my Orion motor!

I am more than happy to share these settings with you and help where I can.

Just to put your mind at rest I have run a 10.5 with the Xtreme stock in turbo mode (in this case the fan becomes more necessary though) and before I descovered the HobbyWing's capabilities I was running LRP/NOSRAM ESCs .... as far as I am concerned there is a night and day difference between them in the HobbyWings favour. In fact I would go as far as to say that if HobbyWing were to disappear (not likely) I woul donly consider replacing my units with Tekin RS Pros ... (but I'd only get 1 for the price of 2 or 3 HobbyWings!!!)
