Etti brushless esc ?

[Andris Golts]

Hi all looking at buying a small 45 amp Etti brushless esc for a micro hydro. Are Etti esc good quality ? What experiences and results have boaters had with the Etti's? Which hobby shops sell them in Canada and the U.S.A ? Regards Andris Golts.

I have 4 150s and love them. Easy to program and run great. OSE has them.

The one pictured is the older one, I think they just use the old picture for illistration. I have one of this type & 2 newer ones to which 1 only came straight from Etti last week. The only difference in them is they have changed the watercooler, Instead of in the picture where the water feed & outlet pipes come out the same end of the cooler the newer one the aluminium heat sink plate is thinner & the feed pipe goes in on one end & the outlet comes out the other end so the water flows straight & not turning 180degrees like the one pictured. I believe the electronics are the same in either though, Both excellent esc. Thanks Martin.

Good esc's. Programming with beeps sucks though. Once you do it a couple times it's not bad, but it just seems an ancient and is annoying.

Like i said i have both types, Its only the water cool pipes that are different between the 2 types. I have actually found that the one pictured with the pipes coming out of the same side also has its advantages because it is shorter in length because of not having an outlet at both ends. So in certain small boats it can make instalation easier if your very tight on space & can make it enen shorter still not having to have a silicon water pipe coming from both ends. Whatever one though their very good esc. Re setting up with beeps i know its considered a pain useing beeps but its realy quite simple because when setting for boat use you only really have to go into 2 of the 6 modes ie battery type & cell count, & timing. The other 4 modes are set at default so no reason to change them for boats. Thanks Martin

I also run 4 etti 150Aesc with no problems never had a problem
if programing the beeps is a problem this may help people out
