spec 10.5 class electronics

[shaine]

I bought a B4 a few yrs back with the intention of racing but i couldnt control it (complete beginner with a 7.5turn motor) the whole experience put me off the idea of racing and i lost interest just bashing it.

I have just bought a Schumacher cougar sv2 and need help with choice of ESC that is affordable but reliable and will be fine with a 10.5t motor.

I have a budget of £60 but could push another tenner out of the wife if needs be for the ESC.

I really have no idea what is good and what isnt, what breaks and what doesnt etc etc.

You want the 120A version and as Fid says above, there are plenty around second-hand inside your budget - keep an eye out. Also look out for the new G-Force from Zen Racing and a good used LRP SXX version 1 or 2. Your budget is below anything that will give you the throttle feel you need for 2WD off-road as a new speedo, but persevere on the forums or auction sites and you will come up with something soon.

Plenty of us have had years of good service from the speedos described above that we bought second-hand. HTH

Thanks for the advice everyone. If buying new would the 120a v2.1 still be a good buy or would it be bettered by something else?

It's still an excellent speedo, no problem with using it competitively today despite it being superceded by the v3.1. Depending on how you want to run it (boosted or blinky) it can be set in the boost mode and then run with no boost.

The throttle response is excellent and ideal for Off-Road. Buy with confidence! HTH
