Hi.

I have the 125A Hobbyking SS Boat ESC, it says that it will work with up to 7S, but if I plugin mor than a 4S LiPo nothing happens, if you read the reviews on hobbyking there are no one that have got it to work with more than 4S.

So don´t buy this unless you are going to run it on max 4S..

I just found some single layer 200 amp 3-7S ESCs that I may check out. $45 Programming only by TX but they are pretty easy to do.

Where Jeff?

Secrets... FC?

Everyone else just wizzed by this...

have blown 3 of these, one went underwater, the other two just blew up because they felt like it. DO NOT BUY THIS ESC

Unless you only plan to run outrunners on them, there are far better esc's for $20-$30 more.

The specs are also deceiving, they cannot run 200 amps continous in a boat, no way, at least not for long. Maybe a bit longer with an external cap bank, then there's MO money$$.

They were originally designed for outrunners in planes & helis, not boats, not inrunners though they do work to a degree.

For a whhile I swore by them until other better chinese esc's came to market but, back then it was either mortgage your house for a Castle (thats such and ironic statement!) or chance a stinky boat with a $50 esc.

I have a few stinkey boats since I can't get Eagle One products anymore...

I was running mine on 5S at below 160A, with an extra 2000uF of caps.
