Default Brushless Esc's

Currently looking at getting a new Esc for my Cat SX.
I currently use LRP and Nosram Brushless Esc's.
Not Keen on using Novak Or the Losi version Esc's.
Are there any top flight Esc's out there that are as good as the Lrp/Nosram versions.
What's out there and are they any good.
Let me know your thoughts and why i should get one of them.

The Tekin ESC should be nice if you are looking for something with a small footprint and if participating in non-stock racing series. If you participate in stock classes, you should get a GM Racing Genius 90 or 120, which are larger, but have unique power programmes (and they really mean power, what I personally think will destroy the stock classes i the long term ...). Aside from the power programme, the GM speedos can be fine tuned to excess using the USB port of a computer. The online service in the GM forum seems to be extremely good, the speedo designer himself will answer your questions.
I have got a Tekin brushed ESC and a speed passion LPF. The Tekin FX Pro is my best brushed ESC ever (easy to adjust, powerful BEC), the SP LPF is not bad either, but has a too large footprint and too weak BEC IMHO.

I've been trying the new orion one in my car for a bit now. Very impressed with it. Has not overheated indoors on a 5.5 or 6.5 and it doesn't have a fan or heatsink.
The way the power is put to the gorund is great and the brakes have the car doing endo's!!
Still have nosram in my 2wd

Only downside is the price. See what she does outdoors

The new speed passion one is a nice bit of kit.
