The Turnigy system is a rebranded Hobbywing EZRun 150A ESC and 2350kV 3674SL motor. Search for EZRun or any of those key words and you should find plenty of info. To summarize what you'll find: great system overall. ESC is stout and solid. Only thing is do not adjust the timing too low (stay above 7.5*) or the punch too low (don't go to zero). Also don't let the ESC autodetect how many cells you have...select it yourself. I find the motors work well...not very hot and good power. Of course, a nice 4-pole would be faster and torquier, but they cost considerably more also. Good luck and have fun.

Here's a link from where I got mine, although I believe they are back ordered at the moment. As the other guy said, yes the Turnigy system is a re branded EZ Run which is made by Hobbywing. You will not be disappointed with getting one. I personally ordered just the ESC and I couldn't be more happy with it. It's a top of the line Speedo for 1/3 the price of the bigger names and I believe the motors are just as good. I will provide you with 2 links as to where you can order them from. Good luck. link #1: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...verse_programm. Link #2: http://www.hobbypartz.com/brushless-...bo-system.html

I think you mean this,http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...&ParentCat=192
I'm working on getting a ofna ultra lx1 e, and was considering the above combo. I've read a lot of good reviews on the hobbyking website, think we should go for it???

I love the battery prices at hobbyking/Hobbycity. You can get a quality Lipo which performs right up there with the big names for $32.00. I ended up buying the 4000 Mah 30C Zippy flightmax (Hard cased with a Deans connector) and I absolutely love the thing. I own an orion 3600 25C Lipo as well as the SMC Lighning volts 4000 28C and so after making the comparisons between all 3 of the batteries, they all perform juut about the same it seems. Although I do notice slightly more punch with the SMC, bur all in all the $32 battery has the quality and almost identical specs for 1/3 the price. I paid $90 for the Team Orion and $105 for the SMC. If I had been aware of these batteries being sold I could have bought about 6 of the Zippy Flightmaxes as opposed to the 2 for the same price. That to me is an absolute no brainer if you're looking to save money and then with the savings you can use it for a hop up option for your vehicle or maybe a nice brand new brushless which you can now get for a measely $40. Oh God do I sure love the revoloutionary technological innovations that have been hitting the scene for the last 4 or so years now. Brushless along with Lipo makes speed freaks such as myself even more entertained with R/C than ever before. I personally don't see a stop to the amount of Electricity that we'll be able to put through our vehicles in the coming years and beyond. However with all of this power being developed we're gonna have to start moving up in size, vehicle wise in order to compensate for the rediculous amount of voltage being zapped though the drivetrains. And it's also good to see the drop in prices for Lipo/brushless these days. When they first came out, just like any new breakthrough such as say a video game system the prices were very high. Now that the technology has become almost common place in the hobby, the prices (Especially at Hobbyking, which is my favorite place to shop (-:. I say screw the US economy at this point. It wasn't my evil self that engineered an economic mess. I have no choice but to go with what's affordable at this point in time thanks to my wonderful and incompitent leaders who no longer care about the people any more it seems. So whether or not it's made in America or sold here in america, I have no problem spending over seas to make my purchases. I'd rather support the China Man and help his family prosper than deal with Capitalistic pigs, who no can budget money properly it seems. Hell maybe I'll move over seas as well, lol.(Not really joking actually) Sorry for my rambling, so anyways, if you don't mind me asking which batteries to you end up going with? Just curious, thanks.

Change of plans! I ended up buying a e-revo brushless with a MMM 2200kv and esc inside. To be honest I was looking for the ofna 1/8 hyper st truggy to convert to electric, with castle's MMM but couldnt find it on tower (dont know where i was looking, but it was there!)
So i bought the e-revo BL, I tried cancelling the order once i found the Ofna but it was too late. It had already shipped. So now I dont know if I should keep it, or send it back??
