      Not to complicate things, but there is another "swordfish 120" out there that isnt the swordfish 120 thats sold by Hifei. Just so we are all talking about the same esc.

            This is the Swordfish esc NOT made by Hifei. Runs nicely but, not nearly as robust as the Hifei.

              They worked out well, never get hot and no issues. Would be my choice again in high amp applications. I ran the boat in our shootout and made a few 90+mph passes. The best speed to date is 110mph. This thing flys she has so much torque. She "Current Problem" has so much left in her.

                  HIFEI are the original, skyrc have taken the swordfish name and sold their own under that label.
                  Avoid the skyrc brand.

                    Thanks for the heads up.In the forum someone from the company stated that Hefei is not an original.he stated that Swordfish has there own label and esc.In my search I found a place that has the original one.
                    Kind of confusing when there is two or there swordfish esc out there.
                    Thanks for the info.

                      No matter what anybody else tells you, HIFEI IS the manufacturer of the original Swordfish controllers. I know the owner and do business with them!

                        Im sure the original owner of the name Swordfish is a rather big fish.. all since just plagiarize it
                        HIFEI are my preferred manufacturer of esc these past 6 years.
                        SKYRC do a reasonable job, but not the same quality nor support as hifei.

                          Thanks for clearing this up.The reason I ? is there is a blog in ose about that.
                          Someone there stated that.Still kind of a green horn here.

                            I just purchased this controller and although it works it does not go to full throttle...more like 75% and that's it. Tried everything and no go.
                            PT-45, 109mph, finally gave up after last bad crash
                            H&M 1/8 Miss Bud 73 mph
                            Chris Craft 16 mph

                              Sorry Steve,but just so everyone knows,are the swordfish esc's sold by OSE Hefei or Skyrc?

                              Seems like there are a lot of problems getting them calibrated.A Chinese to English translation issue with the instuctions?

                                Skyrc and Hifei are different companies. The ones I sell are made by Hifei. You will find their name all over the website.
