[Brod]

Fried another 180 esc today after again about 3 packs,possibly about 25runs total.no warning at all,this one went spectacular,fire and sparks LOL..
Didnt,luckily,take my 30C packs this time.What a charred mess

Think its time to go back to an Etti with extra caps i think..

Brod, setup? You must be pushing the limits.

Not really,1600KV medusa 80mm motor,6S lipo,seperate sbec.X442. 29" cat.
This gear was taken out of a 33" delta knockoff hull.which has had approx.25 runs.
racing round a mono3 course for 6mins.putting back about 3800mah,average draw therefore 38amps.
Last weeks Turnigy 180 blew on a 2000kv 80mm Medusa,5S,X442 same cat hull.
Bit of video today before the burn.

Any update on the re-release of the 120A ESC's?

[sailr]

The 180's are ready but we are waiting for the 120's to be released. Hopefully soon! I share your frustration! I just emailed the factory to ask for an update.

[Tony]

Good to know the 180 is ready. Will there be 200 or 240 release in the future?

[sailr]

I don't have any info on 200 or 240. I will ask the factory.

You want HV or is LV good enough?

[Tony]

It will be for sport run 6s1p to 6s2p for speed. So, i guess 200, 240 LV will do.

[sailr]

OK, just emailed the owner and asked the question.

[Himalaya]

How does the new 180A look like? same as the original version? I have the old one in my DF cyberstorm which is performing perfectly and am planning two more for my new HPR115.

a HV 200 would be great! Hobbywing does have HV airplane ESCs so it's not likely to be a huge job converting it for marine use.

[Jeff Wohlt]

suppo makes the 200 amp 10-15S ESC as well. One layer of fets that could be easy to cool.
