Well, I smoked my last piece of 1/8 Novak hardware over the weekend and am looking at SMC's ESCs.

I run a Hobbywing 3656SD on 3S with what used to be a Novak Activ8 V2. I've chatted with Danny a bit about the RF-150-8 and it's not going to work on my 3S setup (4S-6S).

Has anyone used their RF-170-2S on 3S with a 4-pole motor? Any opinions on this ESC or should I look elsewhere? I'm thinking of this or Hobbywing XR8 Plus or XR8 SCT.

EDIT: Danny @ SMC got back to me and advised against using the current ESCs on 3S with a 4-pole short course motor. I'll be looking at the HW offerings more closely.
