I have a Castle HV 120 that I am going to try next. Unless Brenner tells me it will smoke also I will give it a try.

Update

I went with the Mezon 95 and got in 5 solid flights, I checked the current draw on the ground, and was drawing only about 85 amps, Which is consistent with the use of the Throttle Tech. And to add my 2 cents about the power, Lets just say WOW. I am going to have to learn to fly with a lot less throttle.

Just a question here to determine if I might have an issue.
Flew it in 45-50 deg F temps and checked the temp of motor and ESC on landing. The ESC was literally stone cold, barely warm, the Motor was showing 155 deg F Based on what you have been saying about the how cool they run, it seems a little hot. It didn't seem to vary even when I was pushing it a little and pulled close to 4000 mah out of my packs, I did notice some grease weeping out between the Front Hub and Rear Spinner. Otherwise no, drag or anything unusual

Thanks
