You can get the same for £12 or so on ebay. I bought two and a hobbywing program 3 in 1 box to get firmware on them (they are apparently compatible).
Haven't tried any of it yet though. There's a thread here, somewhere, I'll try and come back with a link ... edit: They are cheaper from china £12 but 2-5 week delivery. Here's the thread that dives in at the end: http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=184502

As I understand it when you install the hobbywing software (not sure where to get it) it prompts to install new software it has or downloads. I may try 1 today and get back to you. Should be simple no searching ftp websites etc.

cheap esc
i tried one of these lasted all of 2 heats before it fried itself with a 10.5 but have heard of people having success with it guess you either get good or bad. imo if you want a cheap esc go for a trackstar or xcar 120a from hobbyking got 2 xcars and got no issues and can be flashed with hobbywing software although i have not done it myself

I bought 2 of the ones you linked to. Took a week to come. Borrowed a hobbywing program box and flashed some software onto it. Not sure which version of software I ended up with.
Works absolutely fine (including before I flashed it) on a 13.5. Bought 2 at that price in case 1 fried itself. Worth a punt in a second car I think which is what I used it in |
