Looks like my Dynam Hawk Sky electronics/ESC gave out after only a couple/my first flights. It came with a Dynam 18a ESC
No hobby shops where I live and I have to get everything online.
For me I need to buy GOOD quality as It takes time and money to get things shipped here to Hawaii.
What are the best ESC's/ electronics for me to get?

I'm not sure there is a true "best," but if you stick with the established brands you'll be fine. The cheap stuff doesn't even have a name on it usually. Castle dominates the market for good reason, but Electrifly stuff is trustworthy too. Lots of guys use Turnigy stuff because it is cheap, but I wouldn't expect the same service life out of it as the real name brand stuff.

This is by no means an endorcement, however, I've had a lot of good luck with the stuff from Castle Creations

I have several of their ESC's and none have given me any issues whatsoever.

They sell ESC's as well as receivers. The receivers are 72 MHz so if you are still on that technology, they are definitely good stuff.

CGr.

Hawaiian Hawker I could probably deliver them for you. Should I bring a couple of planes?[8D][8D] Notice I have my sunglasses on.

What part of hawaii I was on oahu and there used to be a hobby store/bait store  off 10 ave just east of waikiki.  Also there are lots of people in oahu that fly on the east side at the "swamp" just outside Kailua on kappa querry road and on the weekends on the Marine corps air station.  If you PM me I can give yopu of their names and the club websites.  If another island then I am not familar but sure there is something. 

The Castle stuff is top notch... Many features, underrated specs, etc. etc. etc.

But "Best" does not mean something will not fail.

If you truely are looking for a "best" setup, choose and match your electronics so that NOTHING goes past 80% of capacity under the hardest use possible.

That means oversize your ESC's, motors, wires and packs to give you operational overhead.

If you do that even many of the cheap Chiniese electronics will hold up well, and the high end stuff will last forever.

I use Castle in my RC cars and they are outstanding. UNREALcostumer service also. Get what you pay for.

One of the wonderful things about Castle is how they spec their electronics.

Unlike other vendors when an ESC says it is rated for 50A, it really means 50A CONTINUOUS at the highest voltage rating, 70A and above BURST.

With most other vendors 50A means, 50A burst at a lower spec'd voltage.

So with the Castle ESC's your safety margin is built into the specs.
I daresay with Castle you do get what you pay for, which is not always the case with other big name players where you may be paying extra for a name and nothing more.


Never-the-less with any vendor you must assure that there is ample extra capacity/overhead in the electronics.

All too often ( but of course never ALWAYS ) failures are the result of people not understanding this important distinction.

Yeah, Jose, they are the best. No wonder I've never burned one up. They are very robust. Fine ESC's. As you suggested, the way to fly with these is to set the max current (amps) at the running current, not the peak burst.
