Default Cheap ESC's?

I know ive heard of cogging issues with the HXT 120A esc but i was wondering about this [link=http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3728]beast[/link]. It is very cheap and may work well with FE, Anyone used em? I may buy one for my cat i am building soon (shockermans cat). Just wondering what you guys think.

That 'Supersimple' esc is a bad one.
Dosnt like a ubec/sbec connected in parallel with the main bat.pack.
I tried one in a heli a while ago,burnt out straight away,along with most of the heli[>:]
No indication at all in the instruction manual.
Very poor design.
