Any feedback on the SF 300 ESCs?

[keithbradley]

For those of you that purchased the Swordfish 300 ESCs, have you put them to use yet? I'm curious what kind of experiences people are having with them.
Please share if you have any info!

Anybody run these yet? Feedback?
Also wondering if there is any easier way to do a warranty repair/replacement on my 240hv Pro other than shipping to China......

Yes I ran it on my saw rigger (1527 1D on 6S) with good results for few months but honestly disliked the data logging cause showed lot of misreradings..On my cat with 56 motors makes a great combo but again no trusted datalogging from my unit.Gill

That's odd. I run two in my 59'' mono and find the data seems to be very accurate.

Joel its a great solid esc that Works perfectly on my cat but maybe the data problem is with my unit.Time ago I posted some graphics and noone could explain those strange numbers like 265C temp or 150000rpm on my 4 pole motor.Anyway this don't interfere the performance of the model.Gill

Kevin this is the main reason I stuck to Castle esc's as they have a superb consumer support.Gill

Gill, have you tried contacting Hifei? I had an issue with the logging on the new 240 Pro+. It would only log up to 197A current, no more. I contacted Michelle at Hifei and sent some of my data log files in. Within two days they had new firmware written that solved the problem.
It's worth a try if it's not working well for you, although the 300s have been fine for me.

I actually have a castle Hydra Ice 200hv on the shelf still new from a previous warranty exchange, but after burning it in this setup I'm not confident about using it again, not enough headroom for me to experiment with, and they don't seem nearly as water resistant. After remembering that the wires exit the bottom of the 300, I just ordered a SF240hv pro+ from KBB, as OSE doesn't have the +model with data logging.
Castle has always been one of the best when it comes to warranty though!
It's for my 45" Sniper with Castle 2028 on 10s2p.

You should contact the person you bought it from to find out your options.

FWIW, I contacted Steven(whom I bought mine from on 5/13) about my options yesterday, and had a personal response within minutes............hard to beat that level of service!
