Re: Inexpensive but reliable 17.5 brushless

Update: I got the Novak GTB2/ ss pro combo on Ebay. In the end, I paid about $27 for the whole thing. I' m pretty happy with that! I like it so far, decent power, just a little jerky going into reverse. I've been using it for a few weeks in the snow and so far, it's holding up well. I did a little waterproofing, though.
Has anyone tried a BH ESC with the gt3b radio? I may upgrade eventually to get dynamic timing, but I've heard stories of that ESC not playing nice with FlySky radio gear.

I have both a GTB3 and BH speedos, but not together....ill give it a try

be aware, while there is reverse on the sensored brushless stuff, it is not recommended. sensorless brushless doesnt have a problem going reverse, but sensored it messes with the sensor board.

Really? That's interesting. I know someone who has an x- car system they bash with, using reverse, and it seems fine.
