My opinion, no you are not asking for trouble at all. I have the same cheap system in the wifes Stampede 2wd.
It is a excellent match and wheelies like a mo fo.
okay, sweet, seeing that ill be using mainly 2s, it should be fine. it does seem like lots of people complained about ESCs starting on fire.
 
I've found this: https://www.amazon.com/GoolRC-Brushless-Upgrade-Waterproof-3300KV/dp/B095GNR1N2/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1YVZSA1FARWRZ&keywords=rc+brushless+motor+esc+combo&qid=1700844668&sprefix=rc+brushless+,aps,111&sr=8-8

asking for trouble? I've had something like this (RacerStar 60A brushless on banggood for 45$) this is about 1/2 the price (and 1/4 the price of a hobbywing system) will it be only 1/2 as nice? anyone had one of these before?
I’ve got this combo in a 1:10 monster truck. It does a very good job. Great power. It’s run probably 50 packs and not the first cliche.
 
Well, I wasn’t asking for trouble, but I was playing with fire.

That's crazy! After that, I think I'd just buy "the real deal" Hobbywing QuicRun WP 10BL60 and call it a day.

He's getting a Max10 SCT so even better, although it can only be programmed via the set button. (It's his bday present 😉😁)

I’m glad it was in a place that nothing got torched besides your rig. That sounds terrible but, you know what I mean.

I’ve got several more of those esc and motor combos still in the wrapper. I’ve had great luck with them. Makes me wander about using them in the future.
