Just fried the Hobbywing Pentium 60A opto that came fitted in the Lander Panther. It had been cutting out, pausing, and simply not working at all, at different times, before smoke issued forth. When it had worked max amp draw was measured at 53, so it should have been ok.

Anyway, it needs replacing, so just wondered what people recommend? Just a quick google of '80amp esc' produces a list varying in price from £16 to over £100 (which I'm not going to pay)....

I standardised on 4Max esc having monitored the SBEC voltage output on several others and not been impressed. Even then on anything precious I always used a separate BEC for the Rx. These are always clean and constant.

Having said that I am now trialing 2 FrSky Neuron S Esc. Again clean and constant output trace on the telemetry. Big bonus is they have inbuilt voltage, current, temp and rpm sensors which for me easily offsets the extra cost. Despite the extra sensors ,they are also the smallest/lightest around. You need to be on FrSky Sport compatible Rx’s of course. Not been released that long so yet to have a view on their longevity/reliability but they look well engineered.
