I'm going to buy a HV esc and would like some recommendations.

[britscoot]

What should i buy?
I need something bullet proof and able to handle 4 to 8s and lots of amps.
Just sick of these things going bad and want something reliable.
Looking to spend $250'ish and with a warranty.

cheers

If your looking for warranty eighter the swordfish 240 from Steven or castle creations ice. It's not a marine app but definatly have a lot of goodies built into it.

How much work to get the Ice boat worthy?

thanks!!

[BakedMopar]

You need a pistix although some people didn't. I water cooled one 100. The rest including my 200 are not. Just taken out programmer and ran. I don't have the HV version. But the regular ones go to 8s.

[britscoot]

The Swordfish looks good to me as it looks easier to program.
Plus its HV.
That Ice does look nice though.

Thanks again.

I know castle offers a field box too but using a pc and the castle link it becomes fully adjustable. The added data logger is a big plus too.

One things for sure, getting OSE customer service is top notch.

Thats cool.
I just read that a bec is not recomended with the swordfish 240.Not good.

go the swordfish the 240 HV it can handle 10,000 watts of power , i run a few on my hot 4s & 6s set ups & it always comes home nice & cool , the Fets are twice the the size of the ones Castle use ! IMO its the best bang for your buck !!

I guess I'm not going to be too helpful. Last season I blew two CC's (120 and 240), three ETTI's, and a Swordfish 240. CC's are gettting repaired, Etti's are getting repaired, and the SF is getting repaired. Currently I have two CC 120's and one CC 240. All are HV. Running 8s and a scorpion 4035-800.

Try a Turnigy Monster 2000 with a Pistiix for high voltage setups.
