The swordfish 220a 2-6s is actually 10 bucks cheaper then the T180. The SF 200a 2-8s is 10 bucks more but its an opto, then you need to mess with an SBEC or a reciever pack for only 6s. I have an SBEC if you need one for minimal expense, but i'd go with the higher amperage 2-6s myself.

Me too.................awesome ESC. I have heard some folks say its more like a 200a rating, maybe they did tests if such a thing exists for an esc.Originally posted by kfxguy View Posti would much rather a seaking 180 over a swordfish....NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS??

I'm pretty sure mine is a little more robust than stock too...I upgrade wiring to 8ga, upgrade caps and add a nice cap bank. You do those few things, and it's a pretty stout unit.Originally posted by Make-a-Wake View PostMe too.................awesome ESC.

I add two 1000uf caps myself, just more confidence and probably longevity to the ESC as well.
I modded the cooling on one where the big empty space between the cooling tubes is closed off on each end and one intake and output fills the chamber for alot more efficient cooling. i used what i had laying around which ended up being aluminum L stock, the added side on the L just adds extra heat disapation i would imagine.NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS??

I'm sure it helps. I did something similar. ...Originally posted by Make-a-Wake View PostI add two 1000uf caps myself, just more confidence and probably longevity to the ESC as well.

Nice! Mine looks like a "caveman" rendition compared to yours but its just for function, good job!
Yah know T180's had an issue of pre-mature thermal cutoff from my experience and a few others I spoke with, maybe it wasd the limited cooling system they made stock........NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS?? QUALITY 5.5MM, 8MM, 8 AND 10 AWG, GET THEM HERE:
