The 160A is showing up 51.41 & 100A 41.57

The 100A looks cheap. 160A looks interesting.

Does this car ESC look familiar? They added a cooling plate, which is fine as along as it works......

Definitely looks like a car esc configured with watercooling - the programming parameters all relate to car operation. No mention of timing options which are usefull in boat applications.

I've been using these with good results in spec rigs

Martin, You can't beat the T-120. Just keep it DRY (&some Corrosion-X squirted inside).

May sound silly, but I bought (and use) the Aquastar 'cause I like it's looks.:unsure:

Me too.

I was suprised how small it is.

I got the Green version. Looks like a castle, lol...

I was one of the first on HK to comment that they are the car esc with maybe some conformal and a neat heat sink.

Any idea who makes them, I didn't see them at Hifei? Different programming card too.
Was going to get one until I saw that. Don't want yet another programmer cluttering up the tool box. Have 4 or 5 as it is!
I built a microcontroller programmer a few yeas ago to do in circuit programming of a medical lab robotic test equipment, should look at it again. The hard part would be writing the software to work across multiple escs without access to the documentation for each brand.
