Question Orion Brushless ESC #ORI65004

I have found this for £39.99 online, 70A down to 6.5 turn brushless limit.....anyone used one in anger in on or off road? Any good?

I want to use one in my Lazer ZX5-FS with a 6.5 motor......

Cheers, I am only going to use it for 6.5 off road and 10.5 on road so may well buy 2 at this price!

I use this in a B4 with a losi 8.5 and it has been superb so far ( Touching something wood).

Word of warning though, the 70amp version does not come with a fan and it is quite large, also the wires for the capaciter are quite short, no serious problem just a bit of a pain.

If I had my choice again I think I'd get the 100amp version, but would'nt hesitate buying another if I needed to put one in a second car.

i would stay as far away from this esc both 70amp and 100amp the 100 amp wont run a 5.5 in a 4wd buggy and the service from orion is crap (not kyosho) they would not accept it back for repaire even tho it was still in warrenty orion say it will run 100amp down to a 3.5t motor but not nessasarly on a 7.2v pack.

dont get me wrong im not knocking the distributers of the orion products kyosho uk they are fantastic and were a great help when tring to get my issue resolved however orion them selfs wasn't.

if you have a valid uk shop receipt less than 12 months old and have used within the purpose its designed for ie not drowned it they have no choice but to inspect it and offer a replacement or reason for invalidating warranty thats the law mate if no joy contact trading standards providing you aint cooked it by missuse
