Any time you can buy American and support these forums that provide us all with an invaluable meeting place to discuss and learn about FE you should do so.....not to mention if something goes wrong with what you bought you have great service to rely on.

We have been beating the Swordfish esc's to death and they keep taking it

Buy OSE

dont fool yourself swordfish is made in china

[Xfactor]

Say what you want it seems everyone gotta pay them at the end of the day. Funny all the negative chatter the chinese get while were eating out of their hands lol.Definately buy from ose but dont think that alone makes it american steve has to pay someone too and so on at the end it ends up in china. So sad isnt it?

watch out for the shipping on hobbycity its up there and if it is
bad when you get it will cost you more then the item to
send it back...
hobbywing states 120/240...turnigy 120/150 just saying
but if you can get one in US with out breaking the bank
then thats the way to go.OSE/JEFF wohlt,ETC

[sailr]

MOST of what we use is made in china. That's not the point. The point is we are here enjoying a great forum and Steven invests in keeping the stuff in his inventory, stands behind the products by warrantying it, etc. I'm just saying we should support him.

Shipping from HK may be cheap but have you ever priced sending something back?

This one:

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7187&Product_Name=Turnigy_Speed_Controller_Programming_Card

Compatible with Turnigy marine...

i have the hobbywing version same thing different name
works great....
and everything is made in china now...
if we all bought american we would all be naked and walking to work...very sad

[sailr]

You are absolutely right. Problem is, some people will do anything to save a couple of bucks. They have to get the big surprise of the cost to return it when they get a bad one. That cures some of them.

Both are identical. Made by Mr. Zenith Peng at Hifei in Chonqing, China. Excellent quality.

NO, he will not sell directly to you. You must order at least 200 pieces at a time to be a dealer.

omg dude wake up......you can buy chinese in usa from venfors like ose and get a warranty with someone you can talk to......of course its made in china....lol

Go with common sense .The 240 swordfish is the one id want but the good stuff doesnt stay stocked very long.Is the 120 worth it ? honestly i dont know?warranty is nice but i want one that doesnt need a warranty. If you excercise warranty that means it failed. Does a warranty justify 60 more dollars in price that will be your call. You can buy another cheapie with the extra 60.More important is buying the rite esc for your expected loads for now and in the future.The Swordfish are well designed if your gonna race heavily or really push it it truly may be worth the extra. I dont think anyones an advocate of buy it cheap I just think some of us life live with a budget and kids and want to save money. Some of us im sure get money from mommy and some are just wealthy or break themselves on a boat.

that wasnt my experience sent the had a rma procedure and i sent it back for 14 bucks international shipping is high for an individual but the esc was 80 plus dollars.The procedure was very straight foward.Just my personal experience.

OK, from now on, you MUST order everything from China! No fair buying in the USA for you! Haha. just kidding of course but do you realize how you come across?

Shipping back to HongKong is NO JOKE. Years back I tried to ship back a 3s 2100mah lipo that was DOA and shipping to go back was $40.00+

Xfactor since I don't know your background, I can't tell how long you have been selling boat parts or your experience in brushless esc's. But I have been around the block a couple of time now. ALL esc's require a warranty. If you don't believe that I have some oil in the Gulf for sale cheap

I wondered how long it would be before he hit a nerve! Well said Steven!
