So: What about the retail prices of these identical 100A /120A OPTO HV ESC's-just with different brand names ...?
We know they are identical with each other, are all made on the same factory production line, and have identical specs and features.
Here are the prices for these identical ESC units: (has to be 120A rating forMegaPower /Tahmazo -they haveno 100A model),
