I do have pics of the 240, i forgot to grab measuremenrs off it before i shipped it out though. Ill have to upload it to photobucket first. My list price on them for a pair of 400a escs, with a 16s ubec, and the program box is 595 shipped

These may be wonderful ESCs, I don't know. But realize that EAsC temperatures in mid-winter have little to do with what can be expected in mid-summer when water temps are 30-50 degrees higher. I hope they perform well in the long run, nice to have an option.

Of course fully agree about the temps, I am optimistic for the esc's in warmer water because of how cool they are running right now and add to that, when I say a "run" I mean taking the packs down to 10% with maybe 2-4 short stops to let the water clear when packs are fresh...then into several massive ovals at >50-75% throttle. I think it's a worthy test especially when you look at what they are powering. But yeah, maybe they'll be scorching hot come July...should the esc's make it to July and run in a tolerable temp then I think we'll be able to say the esc's are more than good...but no counting chickens I know. I also know that as humans when we own something we always think it's the best, I'm trying to be open minded here ;-)

Looks solid, nice fold-up knife too!

I wasn't meaning to rain on the parade - if things get too hot in July just prop down a bit. Like I said, it would be nice to have a reliable ESC option.

I dont have first hand experience on the 400s, but i have been using the 250a 8s and the 300a twin for 4 years now. I havent had a failure yet. In selling them the last year i had 1 failure and it was a user error but flier still replaced the esc for me. Im wanting to try the 600a in my hpr135 with my castle 2028s and really prop up.

For anyone interested, just hit 114mph today with these Flier's on ice cold revo 420 gopacks...not bad! I'll heat the lipos next time, getting close to my MGM's best of 116mph for a quarter the price.

Right on! I sold a few last month, and currently at winter nats. One if the fastest q cats is running a pair of 250a

thanks for taking the chance, Lone Wolf. I'm sure everyone on this thread is hoping this continues favorably. Really shows how well these forums benefit everyone.

What I am interested in is: HEY!!!! You have open water!!! Jealous
Good going Steve

Well boys, just back from the lake with a new all-time PB regardless of esc's...the Flier 400's laid down 117mph!!!! I made numerous passes taking 30-45 second breaks to let water clear and still running very cold, of course the water is freezing so that obviously helps alot but boy these controllers seem to be opening up more and more. Anyone ever experience more speed/power after many cycles on an esc?...electronics can become more efficient after a burning in period, maybe that's what we're seeing here? Back when I first started out with these things I was 104mph etc...yeah lipos warmer today but that's a pretty decent increase and not done yet! New heating pad arriving tomorrow so will get those lipo's nice and hot. Freshly serviced MGM's due back here next week but won't be installing them until I am done with these 400's.

So there ya go!!

Awesome stuff. Good to know these escs are up to the task. I can't wait to put mine to use.
