I know you were on the fence about trying the Swordfish ESC. What do you think of it compared to the SK180?
Yes, I bought it VERY recently! This is my first Swordfish ESC.
You know, I was prompted by someone ( may be it was you) that the throttle input would be a bit more smooth if it is set at "slow or soft" start, which is exactly what I did, and so I did not feel any perceptible difference today. With all the talk of blowing up even before hitting the water , I was too preoccupied to filter any differences.
I was seriously thinking of modifying the cooling nipple orientation of the SK 180a ESC so that it will fit in the rigger, but laziness wins once more!
