    very true Bill

    and then your well know company can change the rules as they go
    The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

      This ESC uses capacitors that are very different in design to what Schulze and Castle use. I would love an electronic guru to chime in as to whether ETTI's design offers any perceived advantage?

        one advantage in my book is the fact that you don't have to worry about breaking one of their legs... now one disadvantage is the fac that one cannot easily add capacitors since they are surface mount.

            OK! Now I'm seriously interested. This is the first time a company has taken the use of extra capacitors seriously.

            I know it's made a huge difference in the lifespan of my Castles. I add 4x470's to all my LV castles escs.

                I find it great that they have capacitor banks for the Ettis as well... like Brian stated, this is getting to be a really interesting ESC, it's not just a product slapped together, it seems they have things thought out.

                  That looks like a pretty good shock! (wondering where the tubes are, LOL)

                    I stand corrected. I haven't looked at the YGE line or any german esc in about 3 years.

                      I have been running one of these in a 4s 8xl 33" mono this summer and it has held up just fine. At the price Steven is selling them I couldn't pass up the chance to buy another

                              Good suggestion , maybe the 125amp which can handle the 6s lipo .
