babylon Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The last one I got was a £45 eBay jobby, It looked and felt genuine, Even down to packing and extras, And the sc8 quirk of the LVC not being the best, If it was a fake, Then it's hats off to them for a job well done. Before that I picked up a 150amp QuickRun for 50 quid, At the time I wondered if it was a knockoff, But again it looked and felt the part, And is still going strong. I do wonder how many of these so called fakes are really knocking about, Can't be a great profit margin in a product retailing for 45 quid to bother knocking it off, And is a knockoff SC8 any more a risk than a cheapo ESC. I do get that it's discontinued, But how many thousands of theses are knocking about from RTR's and the like, The other thing is looking on HobbyWings site, They don't actually have a true replacement for it, The closest is the Max10 SCT which on ModelSport is £67.50 , But the QuicRun 150 is £88. But I will say that I will not buy anything other than HobbyWing even if I have to pay UK retail, Never had, Or seen a Hobbywing smoke, Ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
