Nah, it'll probably just make em jealous. I, personally, will stay true to my roots and go with the best and smoothest out there.....straight orange.

I did ask Bob about the sensor harness becoming unplugged and he stated that when the ESC no longer "senses" the attached motor, the controller simply stops running. I will check with him on your new claim of "partly out".

We will upload the entire press release next week, with features and specifications. We will also be offering Kinetic/Ballistic systems. The preliminary pricing looks very attractive and I will announce this esc/system pricing when it's finalized.

Love the orange the most... they never mistreated me in 15 years

Respect the red and black stuff...

Don't like the green and black whatsoever.

We believe our unique transcap module offers maximum protection for racing controllers.

Our controllers are designed with one power board and all mosfets in contact with the screwed-on heat sink for maximum cooling. They feature water-tight construction with gasketted, silicone inserts to keep moisture and debris away from the internal circuitry.

Also, we design all products for maximum ease of user repair and updates. Therefore, our plugs, harnesses, fans and transcap modules can be replaced without opening the case or soldering directly to the PCBs.

All of these design choices greatly reduce inadvertent damage to the controllers in a high speed racing environment.

Returning items to the factory for service can be an expensive, time-consuming undertaking. Our BL controllers, and our completely-rebuildable Ballistic motors give users unprecedented control over their racing electronics. Our products can be easily repaired and optimized by customers with parts readily available through distribution and in our store.

others don't need heat sinks
it shouldn't need a fan
water tight my @$$


the only thing you have that tekins don't is the replacable servo/switch plug...

The "street price" should be @200.00 and it will have our standard 120 day warranty against factory (caused) defects in materials or workmanship.

Our warranty is the same as all other r/c manufacturers. All companies offer free warranty replacement for damage caused by issues over which the factory has control. Damage caused by improper installation, misuse or abuse is not covered by any company's warranty.

ESC damage caused by connecting the controller to other defective components---bad batteries, over-heated motors/demagnetized rotors, bad servos, improperly installed connectors, etc, is also not covered by warranty.

Warranties are not about "time"---4 months, 6 months, 12 months; they are about what caused the damage.

Props to NovakTwo for continuing to engage in useful dialog despite some less than mature critics.

The question is, is will it keep up with the SPX's and Tekins?
