Yes they are a bit pricier than some but worth every penny. If budget is in mind then it is not the choice. Eflite makes a pretty good line of esc's as well. Nothing beats being able to hook up to the pc and make changes as you want. That feature alone sold me. I also run quite a few Eflite esc's in different planes from the 22a-60A and they are all solid with exception of the 25A which I have smoked 3 of. They are the ones that come stock in strykers and typhoon 2's now and I am sure a few others. Not sure if they figured out the problem with them but I am not the only one I know that has had repeated issues with them. Other than that no other issues with Eflite.

Just my .02
