RE: Tower Pro Brushless ESC's
I'm using the BP30 amp speed control from Balsa Products with the BP21 brushless motor and couldn't be happier with them. I think this may be the same speed control. You can get them bought as a combo from Balsa for like $56 shipped. You can also get this motor and speed control off Ebay for about $40 total. I've put it through all kinds of abuse and the ESC still works fine. I too feel that the "brand" name companies are raiking us over the coals when it comes to speed controls, brushless motors, and even lipos. Most of this stuff is made in China and sold to us under some clever marketing by a US company for a huge markup. If you guys are looking for cheap lipos try Dymond Motorsports or Common Sense RC.
