Funny how you can hear different things from different people. My LHS guy says the Silver Series is a great esc. I had one go bad on me in a DF as well (SS35 in a Diablo), however I think that was may have been my fault for running a 4s LiPo that probably overpowered it. I have read either on this forum or another that some guys like using the E-Flight 60 amp esc in the FJ. I may just upgrade to that one in the very near future.
