hawkesy2k8 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Good Morning All, So im looking to make the switch from non sensored to sensored in my SSTE truggy, does anyone have any recommendations? SKY RC seems to be the choice id make but is there any better for similar price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I think some guy had loads of issues with the sky rc ESC. I have had a hobbywing xr8 plus and that wasn't very good either. The most reliable sensored escs I've had were the hobbyking x car 150a and the tekin rx8 gen3. The hobbyking one is really cheap and the tekin is mega expensive, but I got the tekin used.

QRC Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If you are willing to spend, HW XR8 PRO with 1900kv motor, then treat yourself with the wireless OTA, you will never look back....👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run one myself but have only had it for a limited time, I want to know if there's something I should be looking out for 😳 I was going to recommend the XR8 Plus myself...

QRC Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If you on a tight budget go with the plus or sct, but they have been superseded by your PRO now...200A and timing up to 48 degrees....it’s crazy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just seem to die randomly. I had mine in my mt410 with a reds 1900kv buggy motor. ran 4s fine, ran 6s twice then it died. Made a video on it and loads of other people had the same problem even in 4s truggies and buggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not very convincing is it. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
