I've heard/read numerous rave reviews about this which spurred me on to ordering one.
Been waiting just over 2 weeks now so shouldn't have to wait much longer.
Hope it's worth the wait.

and judging by this old link, it's dirt cheap to boot at these prices even I'm tempted and I'm perfectly happy with my novak 10.5 already

Not too sure about a 3.5t in my slash tho, think it'll just fly off the track.......

Just fyi; The sv2 is exactly the same esc as the sct, it's just the sticker that's different.
I ordered mine off eBay from powerhobby but am still waiting for it to arrive after nearly 2 1/2 weeks.
I will post an unbiased review when i've fitted it into my Firestorm.

Just got mine this morning and I love it.
After customs charges and handling it ended up costing about £90.
Fitted it into my Firestorm using a 2.6:1 transmission ratio with a 25/83 pinion spur and the motor temperature peaked at 98F after about 10 mins of repetitive speed runs.
This thing stays mighty cool, has gobs of torque, and would be good in any sct imo.
The combo is on par with my Velineon system, but the motor is in a different league.
