That's so sad... I wonder if they're using their own firmware... and they even branded them BK.

but these have a sensored option. Last I checked the hobbywings didn't have that. Still looks like a hobbywing to me though.

That's really low, and very stupid if they actually think someone will pay that.

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

I really thought a company such as BK would do their own controllers. Now they sell Hobbywing stuff and Suppo as well.

Never would have thought it

I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Well.... Even though its low end hobby wing, its still a huge step up from the totally outdated products they were selling. I think the controllers they were selling before were designed in 1990.

I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I think the 150A and 80A ones do have sensor ports on the ESC, but the motors they combo with them never have sensors

considering their prices and failure rates, i think this is a step up for them

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

I thought the same. Looks like they may be updated a bit, might just be looks though.
