IC or Electric?? Vinyl or CD??

For outright performance, reliability, reduced wear and tear on equipment and now price, I'd give the points to Electric.

For my personal satisfaction and for presentation in the air I'd hand my points over to IC.

I still think OS should have released a motor/esc combo to ensure a certain level of performance. It's like releasing an engine without a carb or muffler, leaving the customer to fit whatever he thinks might work then complain when it doesn't run right..
