nope, never needed a pistix for those plane esc's, running them with my 40mhz fm acoms Hayabusa.
and again, the "suppo-style" esc's I had were very rugged. they all say, they're not reliable, their acceleration is bad etc. I have never experienced something like that. The breaks are just on/off, like an anchor. So that should be killing the esc when breaking, but it didn't. start-up on 1 deg. timing with the losi 4-pole is smoother then sae-car-esc I've testet recently (but I think they just did an updat on the software). with 7 deg. timing no cogging at all.
On the other hand: I used to have a "scorpion Commander 6s120a", and when changing the settings (after the first 3 batteries), it smoked, just during programming. And it's supposed to be a "quality brand". some folks here in Germany smoked MGM controllers (obsiosly used them right), and waited months for a replacement. but it's a "quality brand". We see, Marketing can do a lot...
Mech. & "electronic" Breaks have their pro's and con's, so U have to find out what is important for you. A con for mechanical breaks is for example the extra weight. on the other hand, most of the 1/5, 1/6 conversions work like that.
anyways, I don't want to hype these cheap plane esc's.
but just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's crap.
