    info re: Aquastar 90 amp ESC

    Have some questions about this ESC:
    1. Is this ESC is the same as the Hifei 90 amp ESC?
    2. Is it pretty much plug and play on a 4s 2300kv set up or will it require parameter changes to run?
    3. If programming changes are neccessary will the Hifei program box work on the Aquastar? The Aquastar program box is currently on backorder and can't seem to locate another source besides HK.


    I am thinking now that I should have waited until I had enough funds to order stuff from this side of the pond. This hobby is turning out to be almost epensive as owning and operating my full size cruiser. The definition of Boat seems to be abou the same for the scale verions as the grown up ones. . .

    1) It is the Hifei esc (swordfish 120, great price)
    2) You should be able to run with the default settings out the box, most selections are set to "auto" to handle different set-up
    3) The other box should work, though I have not tried it. You could always get the cheap programming cardfrom here at OSE

      Hoping the stuff arrives by next weekend. Will order the program card from OSE so I don't get stuck with an uncooperative set up. Looks like I may need to solder some connectors on before I try it out.
