CC 125 Barracuda Vs CC hydro 120

[RCprince]

Trying to figure out which one is better being that most of my Esc's I've lost are from some sort of water damage...the specs are basically the same.

[Raydee]

I asked this question a while back and the answer I got was the Hydra's use better fets than the Cuda. That is the main difference besides the water cooling on the hydra. Also the Cuda's are now discontinued so unless you get a smoking deal on the cuda I would opt for the Hydra.

the barracuda's are discontinued now.
get the hydra

Does any know if they are still being suported?

Castle's site still lists a flat rate repair fee for both Barracudas.

Both esc's are water protected in the same manner. The later Barracuda 125 has the same fets and board design as a Hydra 240.

Thanks for looking that up. I was going to get around to it. I am sure I will see them start to show up for sale a little more @ lower prices. Nice to know they can be serviced.

If anyone has a Cuda that is one year old or less can exchange it for the new Hydras FOR FREE (if it is a Cuda 125) and with a small fee you can even replace your Cuda 80 of a year old or less. If you want to do this HURRY since they are on sale and have limited quantities available...
I have gotten mine already.

I have 2/ CC125's that are 6 months old and a CC80 that is 9-10 months old, so I can exchange these for the Hydra's???

[Steven Vaccaro]

I think they are swapping blown esc's if they cant be repaired. Also they are swapping B80's for h120's and b125's for h240's. If I had a new version b125 I would stick with it.

I sent in a blown 4 month old Bar125 in 31/2 weeks ago.. Just got it back last week, they replaced it with a NEW IN BOX CC Bar125?? I will email them and see what happpened, why I did not get a Hydra....

Now I don't care who you are, that right there is FUNNY

Smoking deal on a ESC? Get it? Smoking!!

They are probably replacing what they have with equivalents until the stock of Barracudas runs out.

Richard, you are lucky that CC stands behind their products and replaced your unit with a brand new B125 in a very timely manner. It is up to the discretion of the manufacturer whether he repairs or replaces a warranty item. If, you were CC and still had stock of new B125 ESC's, what would you do?
