    Has anyone noticed this?

    Look how oddly similar these two escs are. Ose raider on the left. V2 seaking 180 on the right. Just sayin.

        Also very similar to the Dynamite DYNM3880.

          The dynamite 120 is essentially a seaking 120 with an added thermal protection. So it's a little smaller.
          Now the dynamite 160 hv that comes in the 48" zelos is very similar to a seaking 180 v2


          Here's a v2 seaking 180 vs a dynamite 160. I made a cooling block for the seaking but it still illustrates the similarities between the two

            I really don't see similarities, other than basic functionality and connectivity, with the seaking products. Now the Raider and FlyColor, not really even a question there. I bought the Raider for my DF26 build and the FlyColor for a beater Spartan. I have not run either, but expect similar performance from both ESC's.

              I agree with fweasel. There aren't many similarities. I'm also sure that the Dynamites have been proven to be Seakings.

                The Raider has the tubes the right way round.

                  Well in the pics above it doesn't show it, I need to take pics of it side by side with an unmodified seaking so you can see. Trust me, it's the same. Measurements of certain things are the same, but the much larger case and cooling block on the dynamite will fool you. It's basically a 8s capable seaking 180 derated to 160 amps (I'm guessing in 8s, would it be 180 on 6s?)

                    Maybe you could try the new Raider program box on a seaking and see if they are the same down to firmware.

                      EDIT: Sorry, I think you are right. Forgot that "Seakings" are what Hobbywing calls their Marine ESCs... Yes, the Dynamite ESCs are based on the Hobbywing marine series.

                        I tried that, it didn't work.

                          Not sure how your not seeing it......


                          My theory is the boards are from the same manufacturer and they made a few changes like where the receiver wires exit and maybe different fets and I'm certain the firmware is different but I do think you can use a seaking program card on the dynamite esc. I know on the 120's you can. My whole point is everyone loves the old seaking v2 and I think the ose raider is the same thing in a better wrapper. It's completely waterproof and is lower profile and the water fittings are placed better in my opinion. It drives and acts exactly the same too and seems like it's just as tough.
