its a toss-up question.......prob best is the turnegy 180 for the money but there are several brands that make the same esc ose sells them of one brand or another also

T120 or aq star 120 unless you upgrade motor later than get a t180

I have the Turnigy Marine 180A Brushless Boat ESC coming on Wednesday. What settings should I use ? How do you program it compared to the stock ESC/programmer.

UNLESS ITS A MONEY ISSUE I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY PEOPLE MESS WITH THE 120..oops i had cap lock on..Get the 180 and be done..More than likely someday you will upgrade the motor anyway..

Sometimes hard to fit t180s in certain hulls.

Yea and 120s should be fine on 5s... I'm going to be running a 120 with the 1800kv outrunner and should be perfect on 5s. I'm going to get a 180 anyways but a 120 should be a ok.

120 should be real nice on 5s with that outrunner. I am running a CC1800kv outrunner on 4s with the stock esc and a grim 42x55.

Well ben (fightercat) just convinced me to screw it and go 6s on the 120... that'll really open it up... decrease the amps as well

Increase in amps. More amp draw with increased RPM, spinning at over 40,000rpm there will be increase in amps with the system trying to maintain that RPM. If you do it. Prop low and conservative.

Me personally never a fan at running esc's at max voltage, but I play things safe.... There are people running those esc at max voltage with no issues, but some do have issues...

[jac4412]

Hmm... things to consider I guess. Heck maybe I'll try both out... doesn't matter anyways... USA warehouse is out of turnigys!

[Alexgar]

I've had some amp issues with that prop it's pretty aggressive

[jac4412]

alex you mean the grim? If I runn 5s the x642 should be pretty safe right? Or should I go smaller than the stock one

[ron1950]

i just put the turnergy 180 in a pursuit mono running 2 4 cells in parrell and no temp prob at all...used a 42 mm or cm what ever size we all use and it was great moving up to a m445 soon and test.....

What other brand of ESC is good to use with 5s besides a Turnigy Marine 180A Brushless Boat ESC . Found out they are out of stock.
