Truckbasher, they do make a real 1/8 scale esc its called an mgm 160.24...just because it's to expensive doesnt mean it aint real. Call mike and ask him what he thinks of the 160.24 he has been brutalizing one in a 12 pound savage on 6s and it never flinches. Just because castle dont have a reliable 6s car and truck control doesnt mean one doesnt exist.
