brushless esc choices
there are not a whole lot of choices when it comes to brushless ESC's. All I can find are the Castle Creations, Jeti, MGM compro, Kontronic, and Schulze. It seems that castle creations and jeti are the most popular around here. Any opinions on which is better ? (20ish amp range)

RE: brushless esc choices
I don't know which is better, but my Castle Creations Phoenix 25 (after uploading latest firmware) is working very well in my application. However I am only drawing a peak of about 11 amps.

RE: brushless esc choices
I have castle creations 25,45,60 and all work well.
I have their phylinx cable for setups, it works faster than manual programming mode also easier.
Have no other experience with other brands.
I will continue to buy the CC brand.

RE: brushless esc choices
I have had a really bad time with Castle Creations, Promises where made by their people and not keep. Equipment coming directly from them not working. Wish I could be more supportive of CC, but I can't, and wouldn't. Jeti has worked well for me, not saying they are the best, but at least the ESC works when I got it.

I'm a CC man myself. Just had a brand new CC10 got down, contacted them and a replacement was sent even before my damaged one was sent back. Great support team. The CC10 failure was rare but never the less...they made good on the item.

I ditto the comments about CC service being great.
I sent them back a Phoenix 10 unit that was "technically" out of warranty and was expecting a bill for the repair, but surprised to have them say "no charge"
They are tops in my book for that.

Have you looked at Warrior ESC's made by BK Electronics?

RE: brushless esc choices
Castle only goes up to 80amps. If you need something bigger, then you have to go elsewhere.
I run cars, not planes. I am running the Maba ESC made by Castle Creations. So far it is one of the best ESC's I have ran. I would think their plane ESC's are just as good though.
