I dont think our fellow RC enthusiasts get enough of this right here:
"THANK
Thank you for the time you took out of your day to make a great comparison video, thank you for the blood sweat and tears, the cost, and frustration!
I personally ABSOLUTELY appreciate you and your

The blue ebay ESC I have been running for 5 years on 2s never failed me

Whats wild was 40 years ago I thought my all ball bearing Tamiya Frog was fling at 30mph... Just getting back into the hobby so I found this pretty informative. Thanks

Would have been cool if you told us can sizes, motor kvs and esc amp specs..

Nice vid. I put a Surpass system in my Rustler 2wd XL5 and it totally rips. Top speed went from 35mph to 53.5, with no other changes to my set up. It cost roughly £40GBP from Banggood.

Excellent content bro keep it up!!!🏎️💨💯👍🏾

Had very good luck with surpass hobby but have to admit I just did a speed run build and I used hobbywing instead. I needed to go 4s in a small package and that was the best option

I go with the $90 unit. And then pair the motor with a really good ESC. Because you did get 75 mi an hour out of it on a 3s. 👍👍👍👍

It helps with the goolrc set up if you have the program card . I have one in my sct amd it scoots along pretty good and rooster tales gravel in turns and everything, still alot of fun for alot less money

Good job buddy I smacked a curb with my nitro 4tec at 68mph so I feel your pain lol it's still not fixed yet parts are hard to find but the Kyosho fazer did 76mph with the body off and a surpass set up on 4s 5900kv stock gearing before the tire blew off keep up the good and bad moment it connects us all lol

[josesandra]

I think you got more bang for the buck with the surpass esc and motor at 3S cuz you had to go to 4S with the castle copper head to get 75 mph but all in all great video.

[philthyco]

Surpass has a 120 amp ESC that will also run 4s but the high kv motor will get hot after a few speed runs and will need to cool off..Try and set the neutral point on with the program card to help with lag

[andrevokey]

I was able to get that cheap esc to work better with a program card. It's worth a try!

[traviscozza]

You should do the copperhead esc with the surpass motors, I love them, especially the rocket versions

[SuperVandemon]

if that serpass is the 150 amp it all so can run 4 s . and 5s all so 6s but not for long .

Good video. Looking to get my hands on a Kyosho Fazer and throw a mid-brushless motor in it along w/ a name-brand ESC (prob). Interesting how the mid-one was a good bit faster on 3s than name-brand. Prob burns out faster too, which is why I plan on getting a good ESC & then have no prob dropping $30-40 occasionally if/when the motor burns out.

[cruzin]

I have a couple of those cheap ebay esc and they do, do 4s lol i had tried it a couple of times just for shits lol but i run 2s mostly and 3s on occasion.

They are a clone HW esc and you can tune them with rhe HW program card as well.

[chrisbernique]
