Stock Class and ESC's.
#1
I'm getting my TC3's ready for stock class at intense raceway park. We also run off road with T-4's and B-4's.

What I'd like to do is have both the on road and the off road cars always ready to race. Currently I pull the electronics out of all three cars and move them to the other sets of cars. Not too time consuming but irritating.

What's your opinion on ESC's? If were running stock motors is it necessary to the same level of ESC's as we do for off road? In our off road stuff we have a GT7, LRP Pro Sport, and also a tekin G12. If I could have the same performance but not have to spend 150 bucks each on ESC's that would mean I could spend the dough on three personal transponders.

What ESC's are you guys running for stock class on road?

i wouldn't look too deep into this whole thing. in all honesty any of the better Novak, LRP, ect will run great.

If you really need a good ESC for cheap...I am selling a Novak TC2 for $55.

Yes it's older but the thing runs perfect and I have never felt I lost or was slow because of it.

I used this Novak TC2 at Tinley and am winning the electric point series, also used it at IRP and won the first sunday and qualified 2nd and finished 3rd or 4th at the big Grand Opening race.

Either way......a GT7, GTX, LRP Quantum or even older stuff will work fine.

thanks Nexus. I know my current ESC's would do great. My question is really if I'm only running stock motors would a basic ESC like a Streak or real basic LRP, or say a 40 dollar retail price ESC do just as good a job as the 150 dollar ESC's for running stock motors.

I purchased all of my current ESC's based on how many turn motors they'd support and their size. We run 8-10 turn mods with our current ESC's.

Some of those $40 ESC's handle down to 15 turn motors so a 27 turn stock should be pretty easy on the ESC. One thing to consider is braking though, that will probly be more delayed with a cheap ESC. But for what u can pick some of these RTR esc's for(ebay) you might try one first see if it performs well enough and makes it through a couple races at least.
