The programming card is a good idea, makes programming a breeze. I like the combo in my truck, the esc hasnt got a built in BEC though so be sure to factor in that as an additional cost (I'd recommend the cc bec, coz i like castle lol :P).

Be aware though, that you do get what you pay for. This ESC is not without flaw. It's enormous for one, the heatsink interface is very poor by the looks of it (havent pulled it apart yet, but it looks like it has a thick layer of crappy double sided thermal tape as an interface), and the start up is a bit funny. It doesn't cog, but it's almost as if it has a lot of 'puch control' (if your familiar with the CC programming options), even when normal start is selected (as opposed to soft or super soft). Instead of cogging it just is an ultra smooth power transition, no instant 'punch' that you might expect. If you get the tekno conversion it might not be such an issue since you have a nitro clutch.
