Nope. I find the MTroniks is TOTALLY 80's style colors. Tubular dude! :005:

I have that speedo... it's pretty good I think... and the motor looks like a Feigao 8L. It should be ok, but I would recomend a lower kv motor... more like 2400kv range.

rcmonster.com has the BK9920 for $150

For $220-230 you could get that and a 9L or 10L motor. I think most would recomend that over the hobbypeople combo.

The mtroniks does have the 1/8" as opposed to the normal 5mm shafts. You can decide if that's good or bad...

I have the esc, but havent run it yet. I am actually planning to switch it out soon and us it as a winter set up cuz it waterfroof. Thats the only reason that I got it is that its waterproof so snow isnt a problem, that and I got it used for WAY less than the price that you showed. If you want it, I see them pop up on ebay as ESC only once in while and I have seen new ones go for as low as $99. Not always this cheap, but definatly cheaper than $299.

I am planning on running it in my emaxx with a feigo 9xl on 12cells. Nothing to wild, cuz its really only an 80amp controller with a 120amp peak rating. Its not gonna take the kind of power that a 9920 would take. Frow what I hear its nice and smooth, just not able to take a ton of power.

If you are looking for an every day setup, the 9920 with a feigao XL motor is a much better chioce IMO. Cheaper too.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I have heard the mtroniks esc work pretty smooth. I have not tested myself.
It sounds like a winner to me. I don't think have heard nothing bad.


Peace!

I'd definatley go with this one before BK. My neighbor has the 1:10 scale one in his T4 and he busted his cap on it and they sent him a new one in a timely fashion without questions. Customer service is definately a consideration when buying anything electronic and I've only heard good things about Mtroniks.

It has solder posts on it. It is a good ESC for sure. My first one ended up in smoke, but two weeks after I sent it in I had a new one on my doorstep (California to England, and back in two weeks!). With BK, I've waited 4 and 6 months for repair times...
