I wonder.... 1000 customers for a one man business??
With the handfull of engines I have modded I can also write that I have done 947 engines.

That's the thing. Any of the other brands can make the same requests. There's nothing uniquely innovative about paying extra for higher spec FETs or checking a few boxes for the firmware feature list.

All that is possible but all that is also speculation. Only Brian and his OEM will know exactly what's in those ESCs, and it's also entirely possible Brian paid to have his own unique features put in especially for his ESCs and only his ESCs - that's another things OEMs will do.

Point is we can't know for sure so it feels weird to dogpile on him for something you can't even verify. Meanwhile he's publicly beefing with Exalt and it's... not a good look.

Can't wait to see your ESC hit the market. When you do expect it will be ready to sell?

My first ESC will be in the form of a motor analyzer. As for a timeline, I haven't the faintest idea, lol. I'm not trying to be flippant, I just have a very full plate for the foreseeable future.

Do we really need to know for sure? He's made some pretty wild claims about how he himself has been doing innovative engineering for the ESC. We're allowed to be sceptical.

Of course I know ZTW is the manufacturer for both, along with Trinity, Fantom, Reds, etc… I’ve owned all of these mentioned besides Reds. They all drive completely differently… You can literally hear the Trinity screaming when you hit the brakes over all the cars on the track. Just because they’re all manufactured in the same place does not mean they’re the same ESC. Some won’t pay for premium components, and the programming is absolutely different from manufacturer to manufacturer. I’m unbiased, which is why I’ve tried so many different brands. But when one stands out above the rest, I’ll give credit where it’s due. The Pro Performance ESCs and servos are the best I’ve tried. I’ll take my firsthand experiences over your online “research” any day. Lol

The definition of "Skeptical" is "to have a doubt." In other words, being skeptical is the same as having an opinion. So, your opinion is "It isn't a fact until it is proven." Everyone has a right to their own opinion.

I agree. That Brian guy seems a little arrogant in his responses. That customers reply didn't sound unreasonable at all. You have a company that brags about supporting it's racers, but you can't even get them the product in a reasonable time or respond in a professional way. I get he's busy, but that should be a disclosure right before checking out. "Due to the high volume of sales, please expect a delivery time of up to 3 weeks. Your patience will be greatly appreciated."

With that guy's feedback, Brian probably lost a couple dozen customers due to the fear of being scammed.

Actually he did. I was on there at the time. He had it crystal clear there was a delay.

He advertises that he has motors. I checked out his site and did not see any.

The lesson here should be that if someone pays for a product (Regardless of who the seller is) and then request a refund as long as it hasn't shipped an immediate refund should be sent. If that had happened this thread would not be what it is today. I'm not just talking about Pro Performance but any business that sells and ships stuff out.

The motors are in production now, they won’t be in stock for a few more months.

oh, you mean like the company that takes your money for tires, sends tracking info, then never sends tires. Seems like he had alot of defenders on here.

If you create online a shipping order then yes, you get the info a shipping order was made and with that a tracking number. As long the tracking does not go into received package then it is still at the shop.

FYI, this guy Brian Mills just posted on the Facebook page "iCharger Info/Tips/How-to’s Group" an advertisement for the 100 amp ANNIHILATOR discharger. And surprise, the discharger is out of stock. But of course they'll still take your money.
