Kind of curious on how tough the new 8c controlers are.......

Hello Ken nice to see you here , nice pics of the ESC's also......

Reddy I ran mine with an S-Bec with no issues.

That was 8s with BEC?

Great!!!

Def worth a try for the price, if it blows up throw it in the trash at that price!

I have pushed a couple of mine on 6S and temped the caps at 140+ deg. and no failure... Just dont get to agressive with the props..


Reddy,
I have only ran up to 6S on these esc's.... But I can try 8S through one this weekend..

WOW, $54? That would be worth a try.

Both esc'c are the exact same dimensions, just the cooling plate on the top of each pic is larger.

[Ub Hauled]

so the 4-8s ESC is smaller then the 3-7s ESC?
Cool! That looks llike the Etti cooling plate...

Used the Himodel 3-7s and works great but just received the 4-8s a week ago but our ponds are frozen now so will have to wait till spring. I use Plasti Coat to water proof the esc's and then shrinkwrap it seams to work good and no fear if water hits it. The cooling plate Steve sells fits the fets perfect (bottom row pics), I use Arcitic Silver Alumina Thermal Adhesive on the fets to cooling plate, its an epoxy so it will hold solid. The esc's on the top of each pic are the 3-7s the bottom are the 4-8s, wires for the motor are on the bottom with the fets on the 4-8s.

txboatpilot, did you try it on 8s?

[txboatpilot]

I have used several, in both versions and they work good.. I always conformal coat them and add watercooling..

I used the 3-7s version in both my Cat and on my electric converted Revo truck. Great esc!! It never got hot, and kept on pushing. I just learned that water doesn't mix well, I didn't conformal coat it.

Well I see now they offer it in both 3-7s and 4-8s. I'd like to give it a shot. Looks like I need to build a new boat.

Has anyone tried the HiModel 8s - 200 amp esc with 5 amp BEC?
