Hobbywing have released their new Xtreme Stock ESC, which boasts a smaller footprint and lighter weight over its predecessor. Featuring a 3/4 aluminium case, if you are using boost and the turbo function it can only support 8.5T motor and above. If you disable the boost and the turbo function, which is not needed for modified racing, you can use a motor down to a 5.5T, excellent for off road and on road applications.
