I will email Them and see what's been up. I'll explain our situation with the marketplace. They have worked with me in the past so let's hope.

Good idea. I'm going to check on that swordfish thread concerning esc failures and the lip service the mfg. was giving the poster. will let you know.

Well Travis I have talked to Flier and changes have been made, And a couple guys outside of here and the 250's and 300's have been doing real well.

But from my own experience, waterproof, waterproof, waterproof, these just as all ESC's!!!

Well if you have a contact at flier and can get me and said contact hooked up, I'll try to convince them to send me one for testing. I can put it in the shocker and flog it to see how it fairs and give an unbiased review on it. It would be really nice to have a 400 amp capable "affordable" unit for us "poor" fellas.....lol

Tracking my two 400's right now and they are several days out but I will have them hooked up the day they get here and proper testing can commence! I truly hope the main parts ie: Mosfets are upgraded, heck for 400amps they better be!!

I emailed Lisa at flier earlier today to see if I can get my hands on a unit to test and review for you guys. The 37" cat I have with a neu 1527 ought to be a good test mule for it. I won't mind flogging it to lvc to see how it fairs. The 300 amp swordfish is holding up in it so I'm pretty sure the 400 should handle what I throw at it.

So I've emailed back and forth with Lisa a couple times. I'm awaiting an answer from her manager to see if we can get a unit for some testing. I do like the looks of this unit and if they are the same things as the alien units (or even possibly improved) then this unit may be promising. I know of the past Fightercat problems and those escs were actually pretty beefy units but the cooling blocks leaked just a tiny bit and caused it to short out. I'm pretty excited to try something new and hopefully this will be a good alternative to what we have been using. Keep your fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you Trav, I really liked the setup of these in the past when testing them for FC. We did get thru some issues back then and any repair turnaround was good. Hopefully it's not neede anymore but y'know... boaters! LOL.
Did you mention anything about waterproofing to Lisa? This will be my next email.
I have a healthy size single mono that I could put together pretty quick and give a Flier a go with.

The only thing I mentioned about being waterproof was I wanted them to send me the red waterproof unit.


Btw this would be a good unit to run in my kbb34 that I'm building to run on 6s parallel. I'm trying to get it over 100 and I'll need the amperage overhead.

Good news, esc's just arrived! Unfortunately it's the wife's b-day so won't be in the cards to be hooking these monsters up but tomorrow for sure. Have to say these things are heavy, I'll weigh them later, massive wires of course, 8awg for power and dual sets of 10awg for motor leads. Waterproofing appears good, sort of semi-sloppy but will take pic's of everything when I get a chance, later today. All-in-all a very solid feeling and looking esc's, basically a red brick! Stay tuned...

[Lone-Wolf]

That's it but the picture does not do justice, I'll get a pic beside an SF300, similar size for sure but the "red brick" is alot thicker.

Details to come...
