This is an interesting point. In theory, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock electrics on the B4.1 RTR (Ok, its a sensorless system, but plenty of people are using Ezruns!) but most buyers do seem to ditch them fast. However, everyone that ever has then ended up getting something much to powerful for a beginner to handle. I suspect this is the problem - the stock electrics, whilst actually the right ones for a beginner just aren't as quick as the top guys, so they replace them.
Point being here you don't have to - in fact it might be better not to!

This goes even further where the RTR Losi 22 is concerned - because it comes with a 13.5t motor as standard! And unlike my 10.5t's the Losi esc can't do timing boost, so its going to be slow. Good for newbies, but slow. Of course in theory that Losi esc can easily take a 7.5t later, but thats not really the point. Besides its a Losi esc so will likely explode first time out!
