My neighbor has this esc running in his Traxxas stampede. He loves it. It is very old and it is still running strong. Its very small and compact. Its great for the price. It can handle 15+turn motors and is Novak quality. My friend has treated his esc like dirt and its still running hard. Plenty of power for the average r/c'er. Its not reverse though, but its cool for other stuff like sport racing even.
