esc comparision

[Jeepers]

I finally decided to try one of these China esc's so I ordered a 120 amp unit to try out after one of my Hydra 120s decided to crap out. My first thoughts after receiving it, was "its a brick"!! here are a few pics next to the defunct Hydra 120. It has 2 huge capacitors on it (35v 1000uf) and the FETS are huge. I am anxious to get it in a boat with my eagle tree when the pond thaws. Its gonna cost me more to get the Hydra 120 fixed then what I paid for this, around $60 shipped!

Good luck.

Good luck.

I figured for 60 bucks what the heck! figured I would try something different.

I usually run Castle anyway

...are you going to install water cooling on the new one?

They also have marine ESC's for about the same price with water cooling installed:

Castle ESC's are my favorite....

Seakings are my favorite so far. Never popped one. I run the 180 in several boats. Have a 120 I haven't used yet.

EDIT And Im 99.9% sure.. Sea King, Turnigy, Top Edge and it looks like now also Flyermate are all the same esc's, just branded differently.. heres more of what I mean

Certainly as stable as the Castles are from all the input I have read on the many forums. Of course...most Castles pop when you plug them in if they are going to do it...then you only have to wait a month or two and get a new one.

the few escs I have sent back to castle I had to wait only a couple of weeks never had to wait a month at all.
