Best ESC for PSpec racing ??

[Brushless55]

Looking for those who have found their favorite ESC for PSpec racing...
all my PSpec boats run the UL-1 controller, and looking for ones that are better than the AQ
thanks

Thats the Swordfish 120, the one refered to is the Hobby Wing Seaking 120 which is also in the OSE store.

What wrong with the AquaCraft unit? I have seen no performance advantage between the AquaCraft 60amp, the Castle Hydra 120, or the Swordfish 120. I keep going back to the AquaCraft unit for it's simplicity. No programing needed, just plug in arm and go play. I wouldn't say that I am easy on them either.

Later,

I would have to say mike is right I have raced side by side with him for 3 year I have ran a castle and mike has ran AQ Like he said if one is better I have not found it and the 60 amp is under rated if i was doing it over again i would just use the AQ until something happens if it ever did. Mikes stuff is fast really fast I have learned from him that most of your speed comes from set up not just throwing more $ at it. Fred

I run both the ICE100 and the AQ60A. If there is a big performance difference it is hard to see. I do like the datalogging on the Castle -until I logged them I had no idea that many of the setups we run pull 80-90 amps.....

No Seaking 120. It's cheaper than the aquacraft 7011 it can handle more load. you can run faster props than the aqua, great customer service if something does happen and it's only $65

I prefer the aquacraft ESC-- they have been super reliable for me. I "upgraded" a tunnel once to a seaking 120 and it lasted 4 runs before it died... went back to the aquacraft... plus it is highly water resistant out of the box.

So it is looking like the AQ is a good controller
and no need for me to upgrade or change anything..
plus I have 2 or 3 extra of these babies for spares

Depends on club/district rules. Some require certain esc's as well.

Hey Todd. I vote for the Aquacraft as well. I am STILL using the one from my original UL-1. It's going on 4 years old...and still pushes my P-boat over 50mph!

Also, the feature of hitting full throttle before EVERY arming is a plus. You don't have to worry about throttle trims drifting, etc...

Well it looks like all my PSpec boats are staying with the UL-1 controller !!
