Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes, direct messages are the best way to avoid whipping the forum up into a frenzy!

Not posting this on the forums as there can be a LOT of hate for hobbyking.. But I have had GREAT luck with the PLUSH 40, and 60 speed controls. Also there is a cheap programming card available. I have heard the larger sized Plush esc's are not as good as the 40 and 60..

Hope it works out for you !
