Apologies for te late reaction
I have the "old" BLX180 in my Talion, and have no problems. I am driving with both 2x2S and 2x3s and so far all seems well when it comes to the ESC.
Have been running it over a year, mostly on 2x2s and admittedly not extremely intensive, a little bashing, some off road (grass) and tarmac.
I only had issues with the servo: Last week, the servo in the Talion simply stopped working when i was running it on 2x3s. I measured the voltage from the
BEC and that came to 7,3v. The gears on the servo were not stripped, so I assume an electronic failure. I sent the servo to my LHS and hope it will be replaced under Arrma's liftetime warranty for electronic failure.
Strange thing is that i also have the new Raider XL. I am running it on 3s, and also there the servo malfunctioned on the second run. I got it replaced under warranty, with some difficulty from Hobbico initially, but ultimately it was handled satisfactorily.
So, in short: based on my limited experience, the servo's are more of an issue than the ESC but as long as Arrma (Hobbico) lives up to its claim on lifetime warranty,I am happy. The Talion is a blast, the Raider XL if possible, even more.
Hope this helps.
