Avoid those makes.

Nosram/Lrp are pretty bullet proof from my findings

Dont give up on electric,you'll tear your hair out even more with Nitro, and there smelly and noisy , it'll cost you more in paracetemol each meeting from headaches.

Default stick with it

Am starting to feel like you at mo but roll with it electric is the way forward nitro is smelly and forget your bank balance with the big 1/8th stuff...

Ive just bought a losi esc combo was running a ezrun and easy is the main word coz i should have stuck with it not put my hand in pocket for what is trash for the price set up on comp doesnt work so have to travel 15miles to program my losi and first time setting up after default setting haz just stopped working so i might just burn it as well maybe,
going to give it one more chance then is back to horzion and fle bay...

I've seen so many people have problems with the Losi that I refused to touch them. I'd go for a Speed Passion myself.

i also run a ezrun that I've had for about 6 months its been in 3 or 4 cars and i haven't had a single problem with it either

Everybody has problems with there electrics at some point i`m guessing!

Losi are pretty hit or miss, i run one in a DB-01 with a Sanwa system which works fine but when i try and use a Spektrum system with it,it has a right paddy wack just wont work end of.

I`d defineatly follow peoples advice here,i would personally buy an LRP system (sxx tc) there spot on, chin up fella

Hi guys, new here and to Brushless/lipo etc, Just got myself a Xcelorin 6.5, are these issues across the range or are some worse than others? Is there anything that can be done to help stop the issues? maintance, cooling etc? or is it just what some call Losi Tuned Flex???? No updates available for my ESC etc

It should be fine chap, remember people are quick to post when things go wrong but very few people post,
My Esc is great as it does what it is meant to and never goes wrong.
I have had problems with equipment from many of the manufactures, just use it and replace it if it goes wrong.
Your motor is compatible with any other sensored Esc.
