Anyone have anything bad to say about the Turnigy 180 Controller?

[Chilli]

My new cc240 is giving my problems and I will be sending it back to Castle to have them take a look at it. With a three week turnaround, I have to find a replacement till I get the 240 situation sorted out. I can either go back to my trusty old Etti 150 which I used last season or try the Turnigy 180. I like the Etti's allot and have them in my two sons boats, but am looking for a little bit more head room as far as amperage for my Titan 33, 1515 1Y.

You will be waiting 3 weeks for shipping from HK :)
Goto hobbyhot and get 180a seaking with programming card for the same price as HK and faster shipping.

i had one pop on plugin the other day..it was my first bad experience with them..they have been reliable for me other then that..it does not hurt nearly as much as the 240 going bad

Where are you getting this info???????

Ive never waited more than 8 days for an order.. from time purchased to the time it hits my front door. Most of the time its 6-7 days.... My recent order got here in 5.

EDIT: And they are more at non member price by 5 bucks.... and almost 20 dollars more at Hobby hot (if you are a HC member)? fastest shipping 15 vs 18 from HC.. HC still a better deal. Unless I missing something?

Ive yet to have any issues w/ any of my Turnigy ESCs. Havent run the 180 yet but will be soon.

From me and their board.
I just waited 1,5 weeks for my 1 itme ems order just to be packed.

That Sucks! Hmm, maybe its a difference between BC and USA? I made an order on the 8th of this month and it got here on the 13th. Five days from hitting "add to cart" to hitting my hands.

I've been pretty lucky with Hobby City. Three orders and never took more than 10 days.

BTW- I ordered my CC240 from the Neu website. I ordered it in September and it took them a week to let me know it was out of stock. Finally received it in December. You just never know! Maybe I'll just stick with the Etti and Cap board.

all my hobbyking orders come in about 10 days. I have a turnigy 180 that I almost lost. It was submerged for about 4-minutes in a sinking boat, and I blew it out wth compressed air and it works fine!

I popped a CC 240 LV at the SAWs a while ago. H&M shovel/1515 1Y. $ 150 from CC for out-of-warrantee replacement + out of stock wait. Bought a Turnigy 180 for under $ 100 from HK; 5 days to Cali. Works fine. Cool programming card easy to use - can use at lakeside instead of Castle link/laptop . Nuff said ?

Nothing bad here. Get one, or several. Shipping via ems from HK has been as fast as 4 days to my house in Michigan.

I have 4 Turnigy Esc with no problems and I have the 200 amp high voltage really large one that I have not tried yet. All deliveries to Vancouver, Canada have taken about 2 to 3 weeks from Hobby King and as Tony mentions the programming cards are very easy to use etc.
The different delivery times are probably due to our dollar being worth more as the US dollar sinks and they want to get their cash before it falls more

Edit

Also note that these goods have to go through Canadian Customs

Douggie, Wazzup with Canadian customs ? Or is the problem US customs ? I ordered a tiny heli part that can be mailed in a standard sized envelope. Supposedly shipped from Canada April first and still not here.

[Flying Scotsman]

Tony, Canadian customs are s..l..o..w to process items into Canada. An item shipped from Canada would be held up US Customs and if the paperwork is not correct it can take a long time. Also if the item was not shipped via air mail it will take about 2 to 3 weeks to California

Hc has moved to another warehouse. Just before that they had their new year holiday. That's maybe why the delay. My latest order took a week to ship. All other shipments usually reach Hawaii in three to four days. I will be trying out one of these also in my Rico mono.

[Chilli]

Well I ordered a 180 today, along with a programmer and pair of 40c 4S 5000's.

Anyone add extra caps to their 180's?
