Turnigy 180 amp boat esc

[Jeff Wohlt]

I was only speculating these. I do not know but I do know the Turnigy was a solid performer if we are talking about the big square one....they have the newest version of that as well...version #4 it says.

If these are good for a 100 amps continuous then I would be happy. Again, you take your chances. I do know that Etti backs their stuff as Steve said. Hard to part with that money when you can add $40 and have a solid ESC like the Etti 150 and the 200amp will be out soon. If they say they can do it then it will.

Hi

I have a upgraded supervee with a feigao 8xl motor in it. I use 2cell lipo batteries with 25C and 5200mah. I had a Etti 150 but that one died on me on my second drive and it will take me some weeks before it is repaired. And I am wondering about getting a cheap spare esc while I wait for it. My question to you guys is if the Turnigy/Seaking 180A will do good in my setup? Or can I make do with the 120A version of the esc? Hope someone can help me with this. I have to get my boat up and running again!
Thanks

I am very surprised to hear about that ESC. That is a rock solid ESC. Etti will take careof it for you.

My Etti 150 also blew up spectacularly with a 13XL off 6S with a S215 prop on my 31" cat. I still don't know why...
It took two weeks to get the smell out of the hull, my car and the garage!
ByE, with a X442 prop you should get decent speed and not pull more than 105-110amps if you run 2x 2S in series (4S1P). I believe the Turnigy 120A should be sufficient.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Si did you all send them back to the seller to be warranted? They back their stuff unless they find some issues were mishandled but I doubt that was an issue.

[lomdel]

Unfortunately not. I plucked mine outta the boat and threw it in the trash out of pure frustration... I regret doing that 'cause Steven is extremely helpfull when it comes to replacing defective stuff.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Also the manufacturer is very good to us that sell thier products. Thesee are the first I have heard of. How old were they?

I think we're getting a bit off-topic, but anyway...
My Etti 150 were brand new, I think it was on the sixth run or so. I received it late January, ran it a couple of times on 30 January, and it blew on the second of February with a 13XL through a S220 prop with 4000mah 6S1P. If you have time you can follow the whole saga here on OSE http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ead.php?t=5727 . The 13XL shattered its magnets then as well!

I think the problem here is you are on the edge with 6S1P for both the ESC and the motor. 5S would be the most I would run. What hull and are you using BEC?

IF your motor went first then it would fry the ESC.

I just sold 3 of the Turnigy units . I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them . they are extremely easy to program , very smooth , and handle what they claim without breaking a sweat . I bench tested one with a Lehner 2280 turning a 14 inch prop . I dumped 4....6cell 5000 mah packs through one and had to let the motor cool mid-flight benchtesting........passed the 100 amp mark on a few pulls also . the unit was just barely warm through all of this .
