TN ... I think that saying is too long as I can understand why because the state of Tennessee is spelt darn long too!!! (I can spell it right without having to look at how you spell it). If I had my way (meaning if I could fly that well enough), I will use branded stuff on a premium plane. Its not about how much money we have to blow but I would save up and wait a bit to get the good stuff.

Still, I know that the cheaper China made ESCs do work fine ... make sure its a tried and tested brand. Don't get the really weird sounding ones. I like Hobby City, they have reviews and that really helps give you an idea of what you are buying.
