16S-300amp FC (no BEC) Got this about a year ago direct from Ben replacing an 8S that didn't work. Don't need this large a controller in my tunnels. Consider trade for Neu/Castle 1515-1520's 1600-2500kv
$140 shipped lower 48.

Brushless55 declined. I do not have or use paypal which is my choice from some friends negative experience. Personal checks work as well as MO's. Controller still for sale.

I have a Castle 1518 1Y 1800kv motor I might consider trading. If you're interested, I need more info on your controller?

My current build I predict will have spikes of 220amps, and maybe more. Would like the headroom your esc provides. Have a brand new unused FC 16s 200amp, and a used SF 200lv.
Trade, and/or ?? Why the replacement shrink wrap??? How much use?? In what?? Is this the esc that was pretty much DOA from the beginning?

Thomas, sorry I have a 1900kv 1520 already.

Todd I would be interested in a trade & say $60 on your SF 200. As for shrink wrap it is just the way I got it from Ben as he replaced a 8s-300 that had bad solder joints. Never had the FC logo stuff on it. I have run it in two races and maybe 6 test sesions all on 6S pushing a 1521 Castle. Works fine but just not in a smaller tunnel.

How bout, the Swordfish 200amp, and a $55 USPS Mo and we call it a deal??? Do you need a cap bank, and updated pics? Need to go on a couple of errands, be back later.

PM received, We are good to go, will send out tomorrow. Not sure how just yet, USPS, or UPS? Does USPS offer tracking? If not perhaps UPS would be better. Does the UPS store sell money orders? (1 stop shop).
Also think I will add insurance, we have all heard the horror stories, and it's only a couple of bucks. Will PM later with personals. Just now confirmed, ALL connectors are 5.5mm. you may keep your 6.5mm's. I may,
or may not take the time to de-solder the motor bullets. Please tell me you are including ALL of the spark arrestor wiring??? You mentioned you were running 6s, you are aware that this is the upper limit of this
ESC, and that this is the first version with just a single cooling block, correct?? I have the UNUSED Etti cap bank, and programing card for the this Swordfish, are you interested in them??
Regarding your PM, and the "leap of faith", your statements are exactly what an honest man would say,(kudos to you).

ESC shipped USPS priority. There is a small female bullet negative lead on the esc and the male lead that came with it for a spark arrestor. I didn't use it but it would be easy to solder a resistor and a simple alligator clip to bridge to the negative (male) battery connector then remove as you made the bullet connection.

Thankz Todd

Recieved your package also. I forgot I had that lead. Not sure if it is a resistor so measure it with an ohmeter.

You can see the outline of a resistor under the wire shrink. But since it is on the controller side, without peeling back the shrink there is no way of testing it. However, since it is stock from
Fightercat, one would assume it would be close to the correct ohm's. The resistor on my Fightercat 8s 200amp is on the battery side, and is 10.5 ohm's
I know you said that you didn't use a spark arrestor, but I'll just leave these links here, in case you are interested. Cheers Todd
