    ESC for Shockwave 26 V3 Brushless

    Looking for a ESC for a Shockwave 26 V3 Brushless. I sold the stock 3S compatible ESC because I have alot of 4S batteries and have been using a HK 100a car ESC in the meantime (borrowed it out of my son's monster truck). I will be using it with the stock A3630-1500. Run mostly 3S or 4S but may experiment, just a little, with 5S or 6S. As with most folks I'm looking for the best bang for the buck.

    I'm leaning toward the Turnigy 120a. They are back in stock at HK. I really don't want to spend much more than $50.

    Thoughts? Others I should consider around that same price?

    Thanks!

      Yes, I've got 4) 2200 40C soft packs. I run 2 of them in parallel. I've been running the Graupner K series props. Thank you, kfxguy, because you recommended them in a different thread. I was running a 51mm on 3S and 48mm on 4S. This last weekend, I tried the 51mm on 4S and it did awesome. The ESC was barely warm, motor cool and the batteries were just warm also. Speed was mixed. I'm running low timing. Tried higher timing but everything got a lot warmer. I could see no performance difference between any of them so I'll keep it low. Here's a cool picture from the testing. This is on the Ohio River.

        I bet it hauls on 4s with a 51. You need to get some vid's of it.
