What's your favorite ESC?

[Lone-Wolf]

It seams every time I look at the price at MGM it is one thing, then I save up and it is more.

I would think currency fluctuations cause this, just be thankful you earn USD not Canadian Peso's like me ;-)

Some are in worse condition yet ...
If you lived in your country would be a complete addict rc ... lol
I'm also saving for a new esc.

That's funny. I'm saving esc's so not to spend money.

For what I've done to some SF240's I would say it is my favorite. It has to be bad from factory or you need to make quite a mistake I find for it to let out magic smoke.

HW180 and HW120.

As Travis mentioned, we will be working on some new boat ESCs. Over the past year of trade shows and customer interactions, we've received so many requests to make them again. We figure it's time to make some next generation ones with all the modern updates (waterproofing, datalogging, water cooling, etc). It will take some time (6+ mos) for these to come to fruition so your patience is appreciated. We will be taking all the recommendations we've received over the years from customers and our own personal knowledge and wrapping them into packages that hopefully everyone can appreciate and utilize.

This is great news Joe.
Believe it or not I have Barracuda controls that are still going strong. Still running some 7+ year old Hydra 240s as well.

I will be trying the Sidewinder ESC for a spec class this spring. They come fully potted in epoxy from factory. I'll just drill through the heat sink to put cooling tubes on it. If it can handle a 4074 on road hopefully it can handle spec motors. It's not going to be as robust as a Mamba Monster though.

I'm going to borrow your idea Ray!

[ray schrauwen]

I would not do that the fets are too delicate and do not want to damage them. Just put the plate over the fins with heat transfer paste.

It worked. I was gentle with it.


Not sure if I'm going to save the decal or CA it back on. Double sided tape didn't work. Mybe I will order a decal from Castle.

Runs very smooth.

Very nice job Ray.

Dynamite 120 amp. Lol they never let me down on 4s to 6s.

Sweet ! You doubled up a Seaking 120?? Looks like it with the wires coming off the control board.

[satan_in_secret]
