What's your favorite ESC?

[Keagan-Z06]

I know this will be a mixed bag. Just wanna get a consensus of what you guys prefer? Me personally only have T180's V2&V3, Castle Hydra 240 and Seaking 180, not counting the stock Dynamites that comes with Proboats.

My fave is Castle, old ice's or new Phoenix Ice. The logging is so useful

Never really considered it. I don't even think I have a favorite. I don't really like any escs lol. They all have their faults. I do kinda like the castle xl2 I converted to water cooling. It's compact. Drives well. The programming is nice and the logging is nice. I wish they would make something like the one I did. It's epoxy coated too.


Mainstream escs, I like the seaking 180 old version. And the new ose raider. Just wish there was something similar with more amps.

Ones that don't blow up...

I agree, it doesn't look like the mainstream guys are into anything over 180. Would be cool to get a seaking or Turnigy in 240/300

Thanks to you Castle is shaping up to be my favorite.

Another vote for modified Castles. The past five years I have used mostly ICE200 aircraft controllers, adding a cap or three and some copper tubing, shrink wrap and good to go. The only Castles which have burned up were connected to bad motors, including SAW record holders.

What do you do use a stick radio? I am tired of Pisix kicking the bucket.

I know whare one is under 45 feet of water. LOL

All joking aside, I have had great luck on all of my Castle stuff also. Some are the Hydra line, others are air controllers that have been converted to water cooling like fluid described. I should also note that I haven't built anything bigger than 6S, nor do I run SAW's
