The speed should be the same, but the run-time may be different if you had a msc.

THE AUTO-sport is a good esc.

An ESC is a big leap over any MSC. The Auto Sprot is a pretty decent ESC knowing that because I once had one myself. The A-S is pretty good when it comes to efficiency.
I to had ordered two lipo battery's on sunday from tower and they arrived today. Ussually a 3-4 day arrival period.
