ESC Suggestions please

Hi all,
I will be running a tp 5660 1420kv on 2x4s 6a dinogy lipos with a CF cheetah (overkill I know but should be fun)
I was going to get a Swordfish 300a but have been seeing a lot of bad reviews of them burning out and also receiving ones DOA.

I have a budget of 350, I am looking at the RCboatbitz 300a speedy which looks ok but have only ever seen 1 person use it. Any suggestions would be great thanks :)

Could you also please suggest a BEC to use with it, I have never used such high voltage therefore never needed the BEC. Cheers

Todd.

Nobody?

I have been using the SF 300 for a year now racing against Gas hydro's and have NO problems with 8s 2p at 190 amps average 250 peak.
Most of the problems I have seen results from people not following the directions for programing, not starting with a small prop on a new setup and throwing props at it without checking the logging data.
I also had the 400 amp version of your other choice and it ran fine for the 8 runs I got before it sunk and was not recoverable.
Whatever your choice, run an addition Cap bank.

Yeah I ended up buying the swordfish 300 with the extra cap bank. Thanks for the advice.
