If i had the money to spend i would buy the SP. Just to support them. Even though i know its the same.

HobbyWing support a lot of racers but are much more visible in touring and 1/12 than off-road, something I am working with Stuart At Racers In Exile to change. Racers in Exile are the official UK importer (link in my sig under HobbyWing) and are working hard to expand their market share as quickly as is possible, the main focus is on customer care though.
As far as supporting racers / meetings Racers In Exile will be co-sponsoring the "Rug-Racers" touring car winter series along with a few other significant touring car events. Stuart is looking for other events in the other classes to support too.
Out of the guys I regularly pit with 3/5ths run HobbyWing in their off-road cars ... another 1/5 or so are seriously thinking about it for the winter season equipment changes and those that are left are only staying with what they have as they already have deals and/or just lashed out the price of 3 HobbyWing ESCs on a Tekin and Hotwire
At the touring car club I go to (I know I know .. sorry) about 50% of the racers are running HobbyWing.
As far as forum support is concerned I am more than happy to help anybody that is having trouble with setups / firmware updates or even choosing the right model in the first place.
It's very rare in this day and age that the best product is also the cheapest so when it is the case we often look at it and dismiss it with a "what's the catch?" state of mind ... in this case the catch is that once you have bought one you will want one in all your cars!
