      In my opinion I would definitely buy the SF200 from OSE if the other option is from HK. OSE wil stand behind what they sell you and do what they can to help you if there is a problem. Sometimes that may even mean getting you a new esc for one that is fried. HK's customer service is virtually non-existant, OSE's is one of (if not THE) best.

        the turnigy 180 from hk is 96$ shipped..The Seaking 180 is around 115$ shipped..If you go with the 180, I would get it from here..Thats what I just did..Its a badass speedo for the money!

            Has there been any hesitation issues with the Swordfish 200?

              I havent used the 200 yet, but I have used a few 120's (I have 3 sitting here) and I have been impressed with them. Great ESC for the $$$.

                and if memory serves, they both have their own programming card/box which makes it a snap to program as well.

                  ive been very impressed with my sf120, but i would say go with the t180 it has a 360 burst rating and ive run one for a year on a cc1515 no problem,

                    Looks like the HK180 and the turnigy 180 are the same I guess they are made by the same company ???

                        I would go for the 180. Seems to be a popular and well tested ESC.

                        Seen your post on Slotblog... You need more electrics! Better yet you need to adapt a brushless into a drag car... lol Ive thought about it. Get some serious RPMs.
