KO Propo VFS-1 Brushless Motor Controller Version 1.5
I've had this ESC since 2010 (I have two). I run On-Road; with 6.5 and 10.5 motors. It runs well. It doesn't get very hot. I don't change any Timing Settings on the ESC.

- But it doesn't come with Capacitors. I've been run'n it(them) without capacitors and haven't noticed any problems.....yet.

It's a well work'n ESC.

Great ESC. Still is my go to ESC for smooth power onroad. It performs very well in the blinkly class. It never gets hot. It is a little larger than a Tekin, but does not require a capacitor and it does not get hot. Even with a lower turn motor. Picked up the USB adapter so that I could program it. A little more complicated than some other brands but not too bad over all. Also you can store 5 profiles in the ESC so it makes it easy to switch from one profile to the other at the track. That way if you have a couple of settings you like to try you don't need to go back to the pits to make the change.
