Default RE: E-flight 160 for a Brio ??



ORIGINAL: silva916 Personly i found out that the Sunrise/Himodel ICE 150 ( € 50 ) is exacly the same as my YGE 160 ( € 299 ) i have them both.
So now i have ordered a Sunrise/Himodel 100 HV what possebly good be an YGE 90 HV ( wich is an top F3A esc )



Yes silva916, you are quite right. The HiModel ICE 150 (2 to 6 LiPo) is the same as the SunriseModel ICE ESC, and is made by the SunriseModel factory e.g. http://www.himodel.com/sort.php?sub2=FO&brand=6



However, the SunriseModelICE ESC's are also sold by the "dreaded" HobbyKing -as "YEP" ESC's (obviously a very similar name to "YGE" ...! -meant to make us all think that these are identical to YGE ESC's)
-The "YEP" ESC's are all just ICE ESC's, made by Sunrise Model see: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=11216615
-and seem in many ways, identical to YGE ESC's ...



There are: 45, 60, 80, 100, & 150A S-BEC (2 to 6S LiPo) models of the "YEP" ESC (-which are, of course, basically "YGE" )
and there are also: 80A HV, 120A HV & 180A HV OPTO YEP ESC's -which take 4 to 14S LiPo.
e.g. YEP 80A HV (4~12S) (OPTO) $107.99 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ler_OPTO_.html



As far as prices are concerned, it is up and down:
The 100A HV is $151.93 at HiModel - http://www.himodel.com/electric/ICE_...0A-ICE_HV.html
and the 120A HV YEP one is $118.16 at HK - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ler_OPTO_.html (there is no 100A HV model in the YEP range)

However, the 120A HV isonly$90.06 at HiModel http://www.himodel.com/electric/ICE_...0A-ICE_HV.html
-It is quite strange that the 120A HV model is cheaper than the 100A HV model ...



The YEP 150A (2~6S) SBEC ESC (the one that you mentioned) is $54.99 at HobbyKing (it is not HV) - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ontroller.html

The 180A HV is $199.99 at HK, and $217.39 at HiModel



All these "YEP" ESC's,of course, because they are made by SunriseModel, use the exact same program card as both the YGE and Sunrise ICE ESC's
- http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ming_Card.html
and: http://www.yge.de/artikel.php?search=ygeprogcardiii and: http://www.himodel.com/electric/LED_...ires_ESCs.html



-The YGE, SunriseModel ICE, and the HobbyKing YEP program cards are inter-changeable ... !
It is not clear whether SunriseModel have simply copied the YGE ESC's -in a completely and totally exact way -or whether SunriseModel actually make all the ESC's for YGE, and have simply re-branded them to sell as HiModel ICE and HobbyKing YEP brands.



Whatever, it is very clear that HobbyKing "YEP" and HiModel ICE ESC's, cost less than 1/3 ofthe same amp rating YGE ESC.
