Hi, R/C friends and fellow R/C tournament champs, is this a good buy for US$14? Is it branded like Kyosho or Tamiya?
Thank you in advance,
God bless us R/C racers.

That's an LRP manufactured ESC. LRP was based in Germany. It is the IPC "Sport" version (model #8347). Pretty decent entry level "racing" ESC. I think it has a 14T brushed motor limit, probably released in the late 1990's. Forward and brake only, no reverse. It looks a little rough, but the heatsinks aren't all gouged up. If it works, and if you don't need reverse, $14 is a fair price. The spec/setup sheet is available online. I will go find it.....standby......ok, here it is:
