Only CC's I have ever SMOKED were totally MY FUALT pushing the limits.... That is over 3 years and 20-30 CC esc's that I have been through..... Pretty good track record if you ask me!

    Never toasted a Schulze,,, but I would hate to have to deal with them for warranty... I have heard they say "user error" 99% of the time..... At least I can call CC and talk to them,, that is a big plus.....
    We have seen many, MANY CC esc's here fail for no reason there are many threads about it. I have used chinese esc's inRC crawling and have had 2 die and 2 replaced mo questions asked. Had them in my hand in 15 days or so. not 5 or 6 months!

    CC Does make some good products for other RC use. I have a bunch of CC mamba max's that have been good but like the boat esc's they tend to not do enough testing of their own products and throw junk out there to see what will happen, their software upgrades are a great example. They just miss the boat more than they improve over the past few years and if they get that back in order I will be happy to buy US.

      So you agree! lambo's tend to be finicky and maintence nightmare,25,000 mile warranty while the Kia is warrantied for 100,000 miles and tend to have very low customer problems. Also Kia's are made in Korea by Hyundai

        does anyone have ever mention about the YGE, BK, MGM and Kontronik Jazz?I never had one but hope somebody can explain the good and bad thing about these esc's through experience not from what you've heard.

          You cannot call Schulzes unreliable, their are bullet proof.

          Castle only became unreliable with the HV series and even then some people seem to have a few and never had problems... I personally don't use their HV Hydra series

            Without a question the Schulze.....it is all that I will run on the high dollar cream of the crop setups . I have seen an older CC Esc that has for Ken ( Ksm2001 ) been very reliable but the latest crop of HV's you are playing Russian roulette

            Just my 2.1 cents

                I have a Schulze 80A that just up and quit working while stored for the winter. Worked fine when put away. Now won't do anything. No beep, no nothin! Yes, I have checked the batts, the receiver, the connections, etc. etc. All are solid.

                I have cheap Chinese controllers that are more reliable than this.

                                I think what Peter is saying id that Schulzes are great ESCs, price is not something that was brought up... it came up because some of us would not want to pay that much to have a great ESC...
