    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.

    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

    Careful what you wish for, most of the rest of the line are stacked boards like the Castle's.

    The 200 amp ETTI appears to be the same as the HiModel 200 amp you can buy for $62.50.

    All the best,

    Ray

    FWIW I got my ETTI 150 today from Steven. Sure I ordered it late Sunday night and Tuesday was a mail holiday, so I am not going to get all impressed about getting out here in SOCAL today (Wednesday). Any Whooooooo...

    First, it is larger than you get the impression from the photos. It's about 1/2 inch longer and wider than a CC Hydra 120. Feels good, nice heft and looks to be very well made. It also appears to have a conformal coating on it.

    Nice piece of work, even if I did have to wait "so" long to get it from OSE. Typical. I hate waiting. Probably use the fact that the PO was closed Tuesday to explain why it took 3 days to get here!!!

    Ray is correct. Plus the rest of the line is nice, but there are a bunch of things that would overlap my current offerings.

    I am glad to see that the products everyone is suggesting are being purchased. I'd hate to see Steven have to sit on the inventory. As it stands, it looks like JIT mentality.

    or maybe just mental, LOL!

    thanks

    No , one lipo cell gives more voltage right from the charger then 3,7v its 4,2v if you put a full charged 8s lipo you get 33,2v then it will malfuntion or whatever it will do .

    So dont use 8s lipo on a 30v Esc .

    hi

    thanks for your answer, so my only solution is to use a HV esc, from CC or other......
