$400 ESC poll

[graill]

Schulze.

[Punisher 67]

Without a question the Schulze.....it is all that I will run on the high dollar cream of the crop setups . I have seen an older CC Esc that has for Ken ( Ksm2001 ) been very reliable but the latest crop of HV's you are playing Russian roulette

Just my 2.1 cents

[Ub Hauled]

Proven Un reliability you meant to say right? (CC) at least

You cannot call Schulzes unreliable, their are bullet proof.

No, not really at all. Look at Castle's products and the poor quality.

Castle only became unreliable with the HV series and even then some people seem to have a few and never had problems... I personally don't use their HV Hydra series

does anyone have ever mention about the YGE, BK, MGM and Kontronik Jazz?I never had one but hope somebody can explain the good and bad thing about these esc's through experience not from what you've heard.

YGE and MGM I have heard are great ESCs, BK nothing o report.

Kinda like talkin about Lambo's and Kia's........... Nuff said........

So you agree! lambo's tend to be finicky and maintence nightmare,25,000 mile warranty while the Kia is warrantied for 100,000 miles and tend to have very low customer problems. Also Kia's are made in Korea by Hyundai

Yea,, the smell is universal!! But at least CC will help the customer with warranty and replacement........ I can say, I have had a few CC's quit for NO known reason,, but have ALWAYS been more that HAPPY with thier warranty and customer service.. Only CC's I have ever SMOKED were totally MY FUALT pushing the limits.... That is over 3 years and 20-30 CC esc's that I have been through..... Pretty good track record if you ask me!

Never toasted a Schulze,,, but I would hate to have to deal with them for warranty... I have heard they say "user error" 99% of the time..... At least I can call CC and talk to them,, that is a big plus.....

We have seen many, MANY CC esc's here fail for no reason there are many threads about it. I have used chinese esc's inRC crawling and have had 2 die and 2 replaced mo questions asked. Had them in my hand in 15 days or so. not 5 or 6 months!

CC Does make some good products for other RC use. I have a bunch of CC mamba max's that have been good but like the boat esc's they tend to not do enough testing of their own products and throw junk out there to see what will happen, their software upgrades are a great example. They just miss the boat more than they improve over the past few years and if they get that back in order I will be happy to buy US.

you smoked 20 to 30 esc in three years .holy moly!i burn 2 a season and i run every day in season. i live on a pond. once a esc shows problems thats when it lets go.cheap or expensive.@ 200 a esc thats 4 to 6 g,s in three years ! i thought i had the bug!

[txboatpilot]

same a exact smell as a Castle Creations since it is basically all the same parts.

hey tex. i dont think anyone is disrespeting anyone here . speaking only for myself only. i said i burnt a hi end, a middle end esc and a cheap esc. all of them were probably my fault. but the middle or the cheap still allow me to buy cleats, books or food for my kids. the cheap ones dont smell as bad as the( top of the line)lol.

Just a question

Why not consider the $400 new etti 200 hv ?

CHINA.............

I have a friend in our club running a 32" DF Storm P-mono,, he has tried the ETTI 150 with 4-5 runs it was TOAST.... Switched to CC 240 and no problems or heat issues......... I personall have never ran an ETTI,, this is most likly why............

[txboatpilot]

Sorry to get off topic. tx, have you smoked a himodel or know anyone that has. I would also go Schulze over Castle .

YES SIR! I have tested 8/ HM-200 esc's,,, all have failed when setup in a race boat... Mabey 1-3 runs then either puff's on plug in or craps out while running... I only speak from expirence,, I never make comments on things I dont have any personal expierence with... I can also give you email and names of 2 other club members here that have been through at least 10-12 of the HM-200's... Things are usally CHEAP for a reason...... That has been my expirence with FE equipment...

As I said,,, I have a few Schulze's including the 24.150... All are great esc's andd should never be compared to CHINA esc's... Kinda like talkin about Lambo's and Kia's........... Nuff said........

[rockwerks]

Hey guy's,,,, READ......... Raydee said between HV-180 and 24.150.......

Ray runs his boats very fast and expects alot out of his equipment,, to even suggest that he should use a HM-200 esc is a JOKE!!!! Give the man some RESPECT.. He has a TOP of the LINE SS45 Hydro hull and HIGH END 1527 motor with the latest G3 lipos... It would be an insult to this setup,, to run a HM-200... Can you think of the black CRAP and SMELL that POS would cause in that NICE, HIGH $$$ setup....

same a exact smell as a Castle Creations since it is basically all the same parts.
