Cheap ESC
 
Any thoughts on this esc I have seen them on ebay for awhile and since I am on a budget I was considering givin it a shot. What do u guys think bout it? As long as its 30 amp rated it should handle most brushles motors right.

Thats a plane ESC, you cant use it in a car... Other than not being able to handle the amps, and having no reverse, the biggest problem is that it needs to see 0% throttle to arm, which is full reverse on a surface transmitter. "neutral" on your car is actualy 50% throttle travel. Once you use full reverse to arm it, you let go of the trigger and your car takes off at 50% throttle.[X(]

I've used mystery products in the past and been disappointed every time. Just not good quality.

Actually just picked up this a little while ago. Got a pretty good deal to. I am discussing the shipping cost though the shipping says $12 but is listed in the description as only $6.

You'll roast/cook/fly/smoke it. Detta's drive line and weight EATS mamba motors for breakfast, even then low KV ones.
