    Probably only get a discount when your logged in if you've done business before and have a certain amount of points on your account.
    Every product there contains points that get added up and saved on your account.


    Im guessing at a certain amount you will start getting discounts on all or certain items.

      You have to first purchase through them, then you can resign back in to get the discount on another purchase.

          for reference, I got the 120a conroller, gained 61 points, then went back in and bought the 180a controller for 40bux less. seems like a good deal.

            I just checked and I don't have any points. I guess I haven't spent enough money yet.

              I was told that after 10 purchases you get upgraded to platinum level with the appropriate price reductions on most but not all their products.For instance I am a platinum member and get a pretty good discount on the 180 amp esc but none on the 120 amp esc

                They are telling you that they want you to go big or go home..

                    I am using this in my Delta Force Cyber Storm 32" mono, driving a Medusa 3680-1600V2, I can say nothing but great performance for its price. It handles quite a bit abuses I throw at it.

                    Note the water cooling pipes, they run INSIDE the heatsink RIGHT ABOVE the MOSFETs, which I think is far more efficient that those common seen soldered brass tubes run on the edge of a thin heat transfer metal plate.

                    But my first Seaking180A fried it self when I tried to connect the pack for the 2nd time, letting magic smoke out that smell realy bad though familiar to me.(I am an electronic engineer.) Hobbywing repaired it for free. I then run it flawlessly for 2 months till now.

                      Another feature that I prefer is this ESC has built-in switching mode BEC, so you no longer need an external UBEC or receiver battery packs. switching mode make it handles 2S~6S LiPo with ease, no matter what battery pack you are using, just plug and go.

                        I would consider a group buy, My price is 89.95 plus shipping.

                          Has anyone tried it on 6s and over 100 amps?

                            I did.
                            6S2P 5200mAh total, 127A current for a 93km/h rush. drove it back to have a look, I can hardly feel significant temp rise on the cooling jacket.

                            I am planning next weekend to try larger props, for my batteries' are still happy with this current, so does the ESC, but not the hull. Monos of this size don't seem to love this speed very much.

                                I have tried to run mine three times and every time it would give me only half voltage.....i was running 4s and could only get 23mph out of my Mean Machine....soon as i exchanged the turnigy with one of my other esc's the boat ran 43mph....I havnt figured out the problem yet

                                also mel279 has the same problem that I am having
