Default Losi Speed-T fried esc

I Recently toasted the stock ESC on my speed-T. I ordered a Novak GTB for a replacement without realizing the GTB only handles up to a 2s lipo. Anyone know what ESC I can use with a 3s lipo and the stock motor??? Prefer a novak product but I'll consider any quality ESC that meets or exceeds the stock unit. Also I would like to stick with the sensorless setup, unless I can connect a sensor to the stock motor.

+1 for the sidewinder esc. it runs about 70 bucks and will do what you need it to do.

I fried my ESC after just two weeks. I sent it back to Losi and they replaced it free. They must realize they have some bad ones out there.

Well, to be honest there was a little CA glue(oops) involved with the capacitor. So I'll go ahead and fork over $99 for the Havoc 3s esc(brushless). I plan to use my flycamone v2 to make some FPV videos for youtube and rcuvideos using my speed t. Thanks for all the input.
