Ez runs are ok but defineatly go for the next esc size up that little 35Amp jobby will thermal get this one if any a couple of guys have used them and the seem fine,also just a word of advice never buy an losi xcelorin no matter how much of a bargain it looks... the motors are good but thats it.

If you do get an exelorin for a stupid price DO NOT UPDATE the software and youll be fine.

Basically the Losi systems had a problem in there firmware, when SOME people updated there speed controllers it corrupt the firmware deeming it useless then has to be repaired or replaced.

Not a good idea Andy - not in the Ansmann Short Course, which is just a Madrat SC. For that you'll find the 5.5t Andy linked far too powerful - you want the 8.5t version.
Otherwise though its an excellent system, and more reliable than some costing 2 or 3x more.
The other good option for a Short Course is this which seems popular for those racing trucks.

im going to fit the ez run into it and sell the losi one

Strangely the Losi sensorless system found in the Speed T appears to be slightly less explosive than the sensored version - but I think the Ezrun is still better, especially a 2.0 version.

i went for the speed t rather than the ansmann as i have owend a few losis and i do like them they seem to be as tough as old boots but i will defenatly change over the motor and esc as for batterys whats the best lipo i can get for the 1.10 scale that will fit the speed t
