Default Which Speed Controller -LRP/Nosram/HobbywingV3/Orion

Need a new speed controller for my 2wd. Been looking at NOSRAM/LRP/HobbywingV3 and Orion.

After a speedo with a good 'feel' to it, not an on/off switch like a Tekin! Hence the above choices. Also after a speed controller that has good after sales service, not best pleased how I've been looked after with the current speedo/motor went up in smoke after a dozen race meetings.

Interested to hear if LRP/Nosram have sorted their reliability issues. Really liked my SPX I had a couple of years back, should of never of sold it!

Have you tried the new Tekin software Vegas 223? I use it on my RX8 and find it to be real smooth. From what I can tell the RS series are also a lot better with the 223 software.
The HW V3's should be good if you can get them, the HPI Pro Flux is the same as the HW V3 just badged differently. LRP and Nosram are the same, Orion's are also selling cheap at the mo.
I have an Orca Vritra in my 410 and it has been faultless and smooth, but have heard of many people having problems and then no or very slow back up. I have got a Viper VTX10R in my SX3 but haven't been able to run it in anger yet, but so far so good. The only issue is no distributor in the UK at the mo.
