I've run the SS5800 with the SuperSport ESC in a Team Losi XXX-T MF, Associated TC4, and Associated FT T4, all in racing conditions. For racing at my local track (relatively small, technical track), I prefer the SS5800 over my MGM 8012 / Lehner basic xl4200 combo.

Gear the SS5800 properly by checking Novak's gearing addendum and you should never have a problem.

As a side note, I know I've put my SS ESC through some nasty treatment (un-intentionally, of course :) ) and it's still going well after almost 2 years. The most recent was about 3 months ago during a local trophy race. I use the Nomadio Sensor radio and had a temperature sensor on the heat sink of the SS ESC. The ESC thermalled on the straight after I passed the finish line (thankfully!) and I looked at my radio for the temp - it read 252F. Once it cooled down to 240F the ESC started right back up and I'm still using it today. It got me 2nd in the B-main for modified stadium truck last night :)
