    300a ESC's that fit

    I have heard of guys asking if there are any 300a ESC's that will fit in a 41" boat, specifically the Fantasm. The swordfish was the popular choice, but due its size, it would not. Well for those that are still looking I happen to get a smoking deal on some Flier 300a HV esc's. These are mush smaller and lighter than the swordfish. They are NOT encapsulated in a heavy aluminum box. They are "splash" resistant which means nothing. I soaked them in the 3m electronics epoxy and slapped them in my Fantasm for *!***!***!***!**s and giggles. I haven't ran them yet, thats tomorrow, but here is how they fit. Snug as a bug forsure, but comfortable.IMG_20140121_215133.jpg

    Mhh what is the point of using those ESC's when a set of T180 Marine ESC's should do the job fine?

    regards,

        We'll it appears that I stand corrected. It would appear that in fact there is a reason to run these 300a esc's HV. That reason is another 10mph.IMG_20140122_095015.jpg That is an all time best with my Fantasm and a full 10mph faster than the T-180's. So I guess I helped find 10 reasons why you should run 300a ESC's HV

            With the same setup, or did you prop up?

                That's good enough reason for me! Im looking for another esc right now so pm me how much you can get me one for if you don't mind.

                Edit. Nevermind. That looks exactly like the fightercat esc I have right now. Maybe I just need to run it.

                    I would say that you more accurately found a good reason NOT to run a T-180 on 8s!
                    You wouldn't realize that gain over an esc that was within its own parameters.

                        By the way...
                        Congrats on the speed Travis. The difference from 86 to 96 should be quite apparent. You're getting up there!

                            These are flier controllers with some different optimized software.
