        Well, for starters on advice, in future use ONLY ONE thread to deal with your problem so when advice is given you don't miss it trying to read three threads. I have tried to be tactful with advice given and you are still stamping your feet. Time for a reality check...

          If it only gave you 5 beeps when plugging in 6S, your cells were bad from the start because this can only be caused by a bad cell. I think I'm too tired to try and keep answering questions with the same answers. Please re-read what I and others have posted, it should help if not, well, it's hard for us to bounce through three threads to help out any more than what we have.

          Lastly, I use a battery checker. I had a Hyperion checker and it went bad on me telling me the wrong info until I tried another. The bad checker almost cost me some nice battery packs. Things happen, it's electronics.

            I'm having the same issue fellas with the SF200. I press the throttle and it cuts in and out a couple times before it starts to stay consistent with throttle. I can't figure out why it is doing it. All my stuff is on factory settings with the esc and I have calibrated the transmitter ( at least I believe I have ). Maybe I can post a video of what it is doing so you can chime in. Let me see if I can find one, in the meantime if you think you might be able to assist me with figuring out why it's cutting in and cutting out please share your thoughts. I am running on 4s 5000mah 65c packs, various motors ( Leopard 4074, Zonda Stock Motors, etc) and it does it on all.

                Once again, you repeatedly state your "opinion", but in the same sentence claim that it is "fact". I don't think "opinion" means what you think it means....

                  Fact 180 easy to use and works. Fact swordfish is a headach. EDIT: Check your mail please.

                    Just sharing my experiences with the 200 8S esc. I had a cold solder joint that re-joined itself as you can see in the video. I was last to start but, lucky came in 3rd. I almost never started and when back at the bench the one connector almost fell off one esc motor lead. I've since updated the esc with an extra, larger cooling plate and fixed my soldering mistakes. I've also added a cap bank (Etti 35V version) and opened up the rudder intake hole on the speedmaster rudder. I was going to add a second pickup but, after opening up the rudder intake and adding higher flow nipples to the motor I think it will be o.k.
                    Still have to test this esc out again if it dumps I'll have to use my SF240 that did the job. I'm really pushing this esc too hard with the motor and cells in it but, I beat the snot out of it so far. This was with Auto settings....

                      Actually all 3 of those are opinions based on your experience.
