I like the mounting of the RX8, that's for sure. Every other ESC I have (aside from my boats) is zip-tied in. I don't mind zip-ties though, they are a cheap and reliable mounting option that also make it easy to remove.

People talk about solder posts like they're the golden egg, but I really don't see the point. With motors like my MedUsa motors where the windings are coming out the can I can see why it would be good, but the CC Neu motors have 100% of the windings inside the can, the wires are just normal wires and don't need any soldering (plug n' play). I haven't had an issue with the bullet connectors on my MMMs, but if I buy an RX8 and need to remove it or the motor from my Buggy for whatever reason does this mean I'll have to de-solder them each time unless I want to remove them both?

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
