Turnigy 150A ESC + Motor - Better than Mamba?

[_paralyzed_]

well, better how? The extra 150kv equates to roughly 2250 extra rpm. so in identical setups it should be faster, but it is definitely less efficient and less reliable.

Pretty much all of the asian esc's are knockoffs/relabeled versions of the same esc. More names on the same product means more sales. They work well for some.

In my oppinion, if you can afford to gamble on it, get it, but if it fails you have no recourse.

If you want to be able to repair/warranty it if it fails go castle.

I remember reading somewhere about esc's. The 150A rating is at a given temperature (usually room temp- 20 or 25C ?). When it warms up to operating temp (40-60C) the rating decreases and decreases a lot when poor quality components are used.

I've had one of these esc's and they aren't that bad but because of Castles awesome backup I won't get another one. Even if I stuff a castle esc out of warranty, I'm not out of pocket for full price just the repair price.
