    Great news about the hobby city 25 dollars 100 amp esc's!

    hey guys.
    well i bought 4 of those 100 amp super simple esc's, one 70 amp my buddie and I tested these things and they are great.
    we put a airplane prop on it and ran the 100 amp esc's up to 130 amps for about 30 seconds, and then put the throttle back to a continuous amp draw of 105.6 amps for the duration of time till the 3 cell battery died.
    the esc's were great! they were warm after running.... however they had no cooling because they were sitting on the table !!!
    and it wasn't a fluke. we did this with all 3 100 amp esc's

    HOWEVER, the 70 amp esc ran up to 70 amps for a duration of the battery and it was HOT.
    i think they are only good for 55-60 amps.

    however it is still no replacement for a hydra 120, after a 110 amp pull for the length of the battery the hydra was cool/warm
    but for 25 bucks... if you pop 3 in a race season, your still ahead!

        Good news, thanks for sharing.
        Does it come with manual? The lipo cut off is auto or you program with the tx?
