| Anyone know what works as a decent brushless ESC for antweight weapons? I'm not seeing a whole lot that tells me about their relative performance out there. | |

Already intend to, but I'm looking for Brushless ESCs. For example, do all Castle ESCs vaporize with alarming regularity? Is there a certain brand (or set of brands) that seem particularly reliable? | |

| micro pro is fine up to 20 or so amps, but the hype of 30+ = KABOOM | |

| How about the Sidewinder Micro Sport? Looks like it's the same thing, just without a heat sink. (out of curiosity, has anyone had good results with Turnigy ESCs?)
EDIT: Decided on the Turnigy Basic 18A ESC - cheap enough to get spares, and seems to not spontaneously explode: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2168&Product_Name=TURNIGY_Basic_18A_v3.1_Speed_Controller | |

| i use the turnigys 18amps in all my ants work great for me, and i know Dennis uses a turnigy 12 amp in his ant metroid and i believe he uses a 4 cell battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcSWjxAy9uo (his is the drum)
and if you dont have a motor yet this is the one you want http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2110&Product_Name=TR_28-26_16A_1900Kv_Brushless_Outrunner
you will NEVER beat its performance for the price | |
