Default Help required on choosing an esc for 4wd buggy
Help please required to choose an esc for my 4wd buggy.Just had a miss happ and damaged my nosram ver 2 so need to go purchase a new one in the morning.
Not bothered about price just want honest choices on something different from lrp/nosram as sick of them failing.
Thanks in advance.

What LRP('s) did you have that failed? I've not had problems with them.

The reason I ask is that when I saw the topic I was going to suggest LRP but then I read your message text...
