I was going to get the PB mystic 29 but after reading all the reviews of the esc burning up after the first couple of runs I decided on the AC Motley crew... It hurts because I was so set on the PB... I even ordered it and last minute cancelled...

I always cut new members slack, It's when a member with 1000+ posts does it when I get irritated. (or when it's done in spite)"A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

ESC's Burning up?? I've been beating the crap out of these ESCs for three years, pushing them well beyond their design limits... and have had a grand total of ONE "burn up".... and that was completly my fault for programming it incorrectly.
I'd haven't read all of the posts here, but in most cases, the ESC failures I have heard of are from people who are pushing them to 5 and 6S.... There have been one or two that I've heard of that failed out of the box, but based on the number of boats sold, and the number of ESCs returned to PB, I have to say that if this IS a problem, people aren't returning them...

At the local lake, three of us bought Mystics this summer and ran the heck out of them all season. On rougher days, we really punished the ESCs by running mostly at part throttle. No problems at all. I stopped checking the temperatures because they never got warm enough to worry about.
And I'll add that my experience with Horizon Hobby's customer service has been truly outstanding. Really.
I think you should cancel your MC order and re-order the Mystic!
Take it easy,

My only dealings with Horizon was when my boat sank to the bottom. They promptly shipped me a replacement boat with only the radio to return to them. That was excellent service if you ask me. I agree with the Mystic re-order."A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

well to top it off I just purchased the MC on Ebay for 300 and free shipping so I think im stuck like glue... to good of a deal... http://www.ebay.com/itm/280802016085...84.m1439.l2649Lakeside entertainerComment

I guess an E-Bay purchase kind of negates all the fears of Horizon customer service... Did you get a free warrantee and return policy with that free shipping??
Good Luck with your purchase. The MC is a pretty nice boat boat, from what I hear. Those that have them do seem to like them.Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

Not sure I have read about lots of problems with the PB esc's. The 60s or the 45s. That's a new one on me. I beat the living crap out of 45ampers before. 4s 5s, amp spikes in the high 70s and continuous amps of 55+ with 0 issues. Build solid IMHO. Think of it like this if they make 10,000 esc's and only 100 fail. That's still a 99% success rate! Are you going to read about the 9,900 happy customers or just from the 100 with issues. Bad news gets posted and talked about much more then good/positive news.
As far as HH customer service... OUTSTANDING!Comment

LOL I use a Proboat motor and esc in my MC! I have a few of them like 'em more than the AQ esc.
Wish PB had a 2000KV motor, hint hint!If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
