Looking at a choice of controllers for SAW Hydro 6S speed not so much run time. Extra caps to be added etc. as the 300/400 amp Fighter cat esc. wont be out for a while, i am looking at dialing in a new boat while im waiting for it and thought i would try something else first.
What has the best chance of holding up over 40,000 rpm ( not much i know LOL)
Thanks in advance.

I have a ICE 240. I like it and all, she did die on me on the third run when some water got into the hull. I really like the Swordfish 200 esc's, I suppose the 240 HV's are just as nice. My next HV esc will prob be a Swordfish 240. I have 3 200's and I LOVE them!

Swordfish 240 is working fine for me 180 amp ave draw, 282 amp 1 sec.. peak on launch for 6 lap heat racing.
Temps for speed controller are 115 F, caps 120 F.

Thanks for the replies :) i have 2 swordfish 200s in boats and am also very happy with them. I think that the 240 version will be what i will go with.
