What's your favorite ESC?

[Keagan-Z06]

All joking aside, I have had great luck on all of my Castle stuff also. Some are the Hydra line, others are air controllers that have been converted to water cooling like fluid described. I should also note that I haven't built anything bigger than 6S, nor do I run SAW's

Nice, I'm with you as well, never passed 6S before. Kinda like it that way for now.

I only have Turnigy 180's at this point, but I use an Eagletree data logger. Would prefer an ESC with data logging in it eventually. Might try a swordfish when I get around to building my outrigger.

Is that a raider?

What do you do use a stick radio? I am tired of Pisix kicking the bucket.

I use a Spektrum DX4R PRO, works great. Fellow club members use DX3 transmitters with their aircraft Castles too.

Right now my favorite is MGM, I have a set of the big ones that Randy posted above (40063's) and they are moving my big 73" cat effortlessly. The smaller but still large 25063's work great in my 54" cat. I really like MGM's protection circuitry, they seem to know when you are doing something you shouldn't be which of course never happens to me ;-) Programming is straightforward with a wealth of options and there's endless other options from telemetry to any sensor you would want. Of course all this comes at a price and of course that is the downside but usually you would only want to install a controller like this in a higher end boat anyways where you won't be scrimping. MGM has top service too with fair repair pricing and shipping...fast too! I would like to say my favorite is an old school Schulze like the 40.160 but I don't have one...yet, working on it so until then it's MGM for me. Oh, runner up would be the affordable Flier 400 amp of course, I'm sure the lower amp models are good too, I'm having really good luck with mine, cheap, run cool and are putting out lots of power...actually if these things hang on a few more months they just may become my favorite!

I am giving my thoughts off of price. I mean of course MGM controllers are great but I would hope so at the price.

It's the only one I've used ...
Someone change the new mamba monster 2 ?, I have a trip on them and possibly modify them.

[golfito]

MGM I can only dream it ...:babear:

As far as 6S and under I like the older version T-180.

[jim82]

The v-2 180 is a pretty damn good controller I still have a few.
