Lrp Ai Vs Mtroniks Viper W/tz

Recommended Posts

I just finished a conversation with a guy from Team Associated and apparantly all the LRP AI series ESC's are waterproof. If you guys had a choice for a snow basher equipped with a Tamiya TZ, which would you choose....

LRP AI Automatic Super Reverse Digital ESC

Forward / Brake / Reverse

Size 42.5 x 42.5 mm

Weight (without wires) 47.5 g

Input Voltage 4-7 cells (4.8 - 8.4V)

Typical voltage drop @20A* 0.160

Current* 120 A

Rec. Motorlimit** Over 13 turns

REC voltage 5.0 V

High Frequency

Fail Safe System

Multi Protection System

Connectors: Standard Tamiya

Set-up Procedure: Automatic

Limited Lifetime Warranty

OR

Mtroniks Viper Truck ESC

ABSOLUTE short circuit and motor overload protection

15 turn motor limit (Single motor) or dual 27 turn motor limit (2 motors)

Dual core microprocessor

Pre-wired at the factory for easy installation

5-10 cells input voltage

Externally mounted BEC

4 Layer super power circuit board

Thermal integrated protection system

Digital one touchset up

Legendary 100% waterproof design

Dimensions : L39.0mm x W34.0mm x H13.0mm

Each VIPER ESC incorporates a 1.2A BEC and the latest state of the art technology and GEN-Xi power FETs!

Also, I'm planning to go 7 cells....is either of the ESC's and my TZ a good match?

Thanks in advance!

Well I'm afraid I wouldn't buy anything from Mtroniks myself as they've let me down just too many times. Regardless of what people say about their fantastic customer service, if you're out in the field and white smoke just starts pouring out of your esc, then you've had it.

Just for balance I have had 2 lrp Runners (the new smaller waterproof ones) go up in smoke and melt. I have also had one Mtroniks stop working. Both companies replaced them FOC

I've lost two LRP's (F1 Pro's), one due to one drop of water from a small puddle I ran through and one from moist sand...

I've have two Mtroniks and both have worked super so far...
