$400 ESC poll

[txboatpilot]

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....

Come on guy's,,, he is not "trying to save a buck"... He is looking for "QUALITY" equipment,,, like FLUID said,,, with a reputation of RELIABILITY in a real world RACE setup....


Get the 24.150!! Mine works great, just need the USB link to adjust timming for D wind Neu motors... JMO

I made this post with two choices for a reason, I don't want a Himodel, Mystery or any other ESC than the two that I listed. Yes I know they are $55 and I may be wasting my money in some people's opinion but I am going to have a lot of money tied up into a boat and I want a ESC that is proven and reliable. So far my CC esc's have been holding up great with the exception of my 180HV that died this season, no burn or nothing just died. They replaced it with a 240HV for a little extra coin but I am really interested in the "SCHULZE", there I spelled it right.

i would take any of the above. none of mine have lasted long enough to justify a comment.they always cook because of something i do .like run too long or to large of prop or running wet. i have a hi model 200 waterproofed and water cooled. i am treating her like a queen.i had a used hex 120 a long time till i got her wet. a hydra 120 for a long time until i switched to lipos. i am not use to that much power!smoked a mystery 100. i think the cooling plate hit the leads. i think if you play it safe which ever one you can afford is your best bet. just mt 2 peso's.

.. so it comes down to you get what you paid for....

Very far from the truth when it comes to electronics, Id put a 35.00 mystery esc against a 350.00 Castle Creations and Id bet the Mystery will perform as good if not better.

[Rumdog]

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

where can this be purchased?

you need to waterproof it and watercool it.

JMO I would go with the Shulze 24-150, after seeing Peter Zica's boats run on the Shulze 40-160's these esc's made me a believer that these are the best out there hands down. Ya the price is more than a high model but for a fact I wouldn't put my high model or Castle through what the Shulze esc's can handle. I've been looking at the 24-150 myself to use in a 35" build down the road.

Why not try a HI-Model 4-8s 200 amp for about $55.00? I've had 2 and have had no issues. I did however add a cooling plate and waterproof it.

Like I said, I haven't had an issue. I ran one in a Toysport Triton on 6s2p, KB45 8XL and M645. It was perfectly reliable. But maybe I should have spent over 300 more dollars huh? I guess my question would be: what boat is this esc going in and what will the proposed setup be?

[rockwerks]

Proven reliability over many years is why. An ESC is far more than just a handful of fancy FETs.


The only two 40-160s I've seen burn up were used in SAW boats running 14S after making too many passes through the lights. No one has proven that the cheap-brand ESCs are anywhere near as reliable for true high power use. I'm not saying that you can't damage a Schulze, but their proven reliability in extreme conditions is a fact that other ESCs cannot match. Some boaters are willing to pay for that proven technology, some will buy cheaper ESCs that don't last under lesser conditions. Your choice.

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

[Fluid]

My point exactly, they both have Fairchild FET's and the Himodel has more of them so why is it 400.00?

Heel, you could buy 7 of them for the price of the Schulze!
