Default RE: Setup for an OFNA hyper star electirc

ORIGINAL: assafwei

Thanks for the quick answer, It looks like something to consider, I live outside the US so I will be ordering from the Hong-Kong warehouse, If Turnigy will be the choice I will go for the 150A setup, does HK offer a sensored brushless motor that's any good?

What about a steering servo, is there any good steering servo from HK that's worth buying?

Thanks.
The problem with hobbykng ESCs is that they need a 20 buck programming card and there is literally NO other way to program them.

Personally, I would recommend...

I've heard bad things about hobyking and turnigy ESCs, some of it likely not justified, but I've only heard good things about the toro setup. It's a small risk as I have no personal experience with either system, but for sure the Turnigy nanotech batteries are outstanding. As for a servo, there's no need to go Chinese, there are soe really good ones from reputable brands which would not break the bank, such as Savox 0251 (40 bucks) or if you can spare a bit more cash, the Savox 1258tg (60 bucks).
