Swordfish 200 Amp Low Voltage

[DINO7]

first two for my Mystic.thanks Steven...

[Steven Vaccaro]

Sorry I got the first one for my n1 mono. But second place is still ok.

[DINO7]

Hifei are excellent esc s.i have two 120 in my Mystic M -113cm-and still now they perform really good and strong..with those 200amp it will be bulletproof..hehehe...bigger props are coming..!!!

[ray schrauwen]

Get'm while they're hot! :)

Yes, but do you *KNOW* That the programming cards will work? Have you actually plugged it in and verified the programming that it will work with the Aquastar programming card?

It's a big risk to take!

He he, just kidding. I bought one.

steve: I have the 120 and someone said to not run it with the bec connected when running 6s and to run a sepret bec, so can the 120 bec handle 6s.

[Simon170]

My (future) setup: 36" Vee, Leopard 4082 1500kv, 6s2p, 44mm prop

Swordfish 200amp or the Seaking 180A?

Which whould you guys go for in my position? The Seaking has a much higher burst rating at 360a versus the Swordfish' 230a.

This is my first time buying a boat ESC, or a brushless one for that matter. I dont want to get one then realise I should have bought the other one lol. I'm leaning towards the Swordfish for its compact size and higher continues amp rate. But I cant ignore the Seaking's amp burst rating..

HELP!

[Rumdog]

Neither. Get an esc rated above 6s, to run 6s reliably.

[Simon170]

Both say they are rated to 6s... but you dont think they will cope? Any suggestions?

[Rumdog]

I've had bad experience, so have many others running esc's to the max specs. It just isn't a good idea.

[Simon170]

Fair play mate. Can you recommend an alternative?

[RIPFENCE]

its going to be funny when these sell out in one day...i gotta admit i was on it real quick..i love the choices that are availiable now..i will probably get a hydra ice when they come out too..i like these swordfish esc's a lot they have been great for me so far..

[nova68]

Would it be smart to add some capacitors to the Swordfish 200amp LV, I have some 35v 1000uf capacitors I was thinking of 1 or 2, the Swordfish will go in a DF 33 with a 1515/1Y on 4S2P with a Octura X 442, a little feed back would help out. THANKS

[jcald2000]

Does it have D2pak FETs like the 240 and is it a 2 layer board?
The photo's don't tell much.

Helloooooooooo.... now that sounds interesting. Could this help a 200 run 6s with a touch more safety?

*please say yes, please say yes, please say yes...*

This would make me v happy....

[ray schrauwen]

We can say what ever you want us to say....

Weren't you warned....?

[Steven Vaccaro]

I agree. I run all my setups at less than advertised. I know that they will run at the rating. But for how long. Longevity is my keep to running on a budget. I try to get many years out of them.

[Simon170]

Weren't you warned....?

Ok, well only say it if its true then haha

I would like an ESC that can handle more than 6s safely, but there seems to be a massive price jump to those units.

I understand that running something on its limit is not a good idea for longevity, thats why I havent just bought one and gone for it.
If adding capacitors to it can solve the issue I'll go with that, if not I'll have to keep looking for a different ECU that can safely run 6s and be in my price range.

Its a real pain TBH as I think I have everything else sorted now, just cant find the right ESC...

[DISAR]

What is the max amps rating? continous 200A, max?

[Simon170]

I beleive its 200amp continuous and 230amp burst.

[scullyeng]

Will these be back in stock anytime soon?

[Steven Vaccaro]

About 2-3 weeks.

[line6]

So whats the verdict on these guys? will they hold up on a P-mono setup or maybe a N2 mono setup with a 1515 in it. looking for a back up for a castle 240

[BHChieftain]

I've got a castle creations 1517 1800KV, planning to run 4S2P and also 5S2P, prop range x642 to x646. Do you think this controller will handle it?

Thanks,
Chief

I got the 200A but I noticed the following "problem". When running at full throttle and want to reduce speed in a turn for example, I leave the throttle to go back to neutral but there is a small delay in response, the boat delays 1-2 secs to reduce speed and still runs at full throtle. It is quite incovenient and I loose some control of the boat. I noticed the same with the HV240, but not with the 120.
Some of my other colleagues have the same issue, has anybody noticed that? Is there a solution?
Many thanks in advance....

Send me a email(not a pm) from the ose products page about this and we can forward it to the tech support.

[DISAR]

OK.

[DINO7]

[ray schrauwen]

Better try mine....

[Gen]
