Default why toro?

Hi westy,

Can I ask why your looking at the toro? Just out of interest...
I was looking for a new esc up until yesterday.

I looked at the toro too, a friend had one and was happy with it. theres 2 types 1) plastic case 2) metal case, personally i didnt want a plastic one so looked at the metal, these are £90 ish, then you need a card or bluetooth 15-20quid, then i looked at the wires, they all need soldering up, Im rubbish at that so that was daunting... Then my mate Ste had a chat with Kev at insideline about escs, I also looked at the LRP flow... again full sodering and wasnt keen on having no setup card...lights and beeps put me off... but i know lots have them and theyre really good not knocking it, personal preference. Ste considered the same ESC's and in the end and via recommendation opted for the Absima Revenge CTS 160a, he ran its sunday at the regionals and was really good, ran very cool, easy to setup with the card. Just ordered one myself, so for me ticks several boxes, 1) setup box included in the package 2) wires are presoldered to the esc with nice neat black wires c) 160a has some serious beef d) I know lots of people that run them so support is there if you need help tweaking it... not knocking the toro btw... just chucking my 2 pennies worth into the mix dont flame me
