100% agree with that sir...but see there's always info left out. From ones arguments and the losi 60amp esc isn't used I a dam 4wd sct.. here check it out ignorance is bliss.... every dam losi rc is a 2wd SCT with brushed motor.. need to get the correct equipment to use in the rc you are using. And more then likely wouldn't have. Problem do research it's not hard. 4wd is way more strain on the esc... then a 2wd rcThe Arrma Granite for example, running 4wd with big tires and a 100A ESC is not that big a deal because the truck by itself weighs nothing. Now if it had an aluminum chassis, metal CVD's, aluminum bracing and shock towers, that would be a whole different ballgame.
I am not familiar with the other kits mentioned that use 60A ESC's, but they are probably exactly the same - lightweight RC's.
But those ESC's have been engineered to run in those rigs - just barely, more than likely. If you pulled one of those ESC's and stuck in another rig, with more friction from the drivetrain, more weight, etc, that same ESC is likely going to overheat and die a slow death.
So... go big, or go home is I guess the best advice I can give. Face the facts. RC is not a cheap hobby. If you are buying cheap RC stuff, plan on buying more of it.
