My hobbywing v3.1 has just died so went and purchased a cheap hobbywing clone.
I've previously had the X-car 120amp from hobbyking and that lasted 2years in my Durango410 and then sold It on. It ran faultless.
This one pictured was only £16 with free postage
From eBay. It didn't say if it was a hobbywing clone or it ran hobbywing firmware but just by looking at the pics and it's internals I went and bought it.
Plugged in the program card and it had 205mod hobbywing firmware installed, so just updated it to the 930mod (latest update).
I've tested it in the tm2 and it's very smooth and punchy. All the wires come presoldered to the esc tabs so no messing about. I've got a v3.1 hobbywing in my tm4 and can't see any difference to the cheap version.

It says it's uk based but I got mine within a week.
You can get it £11 from Asia if you are not worried about how long it takes to get here.
Quite frankly, it's mind boggling how cheap esc are now. How the fook can they manufacture it for £11 send free through the post and make a profit???
