HarleyDave,

I actully just picked up a HobbyWing Platinum. So far I like it but honestly, they both work great so it's hard to say one is better than the other.

Instead of just saying, "they suck" can you give a definitive example of what the Align ESC fails to do? I will say the only thing I can think of that the stock Align ESC is not good at is the governor mode.

On a side note: I assume you have a Harley? What do you have? I have an '03 Deuce and love it!
