I have a blade cp pro with a brushless setup on it. What are my options for a ESC? Would any 20amp one work? The eflite one I have is junk. This is the second one I have had take a dump on me in a month. I dont know whats happening to them but the heli is flying fine I recharge the batteries and when I plug em back in the motor will not beep and I have no throttle. I have been in contact with horizon and they said I should send the esc back it sounds like that is the problem. Well forget that I would rather just buy something thats not going to give me problems. I just need the most basic 20amp ESC that I can use. Anyone have any recondmindations? Thanks.

I just got a Castle Creations Phoenix 10 ESC for my CPP. It is smaller and lighter than the E-Flite one and there are more programmable options for it. You don't need a 20 ESC. The max current the motor can handle is 13A. And the Castle Creations is rated at a continous current for 10A, so on bursts it can handle the 13A. I know one person is using it with great results and I am sure if I looked hard enough I could find some more people using it. I should get mine some time next week and will give a review of it. If you want a 20A one I thing one of the cheaper ones you could get is by Hobbywing at Helidirect. Hobbywing has a pretty good rep on their ESC's.
