You will find them in a few builds in Europe (germany especially). MTs, Truggys, buggys and they seem to work well. Jives are multipurpose ESCs with one car program (forward with proportional brake). No backward though. They are waterproof and feature a powerfull switching BEC. 2 series are available. HV -> up to 12s with bec and LV -> up to 6s with BEC.

Downsides:
. only a few programing features (with prog Card only): no start up power or motor ramp up time
. Checks motor inductivity and may not start up with verly low resistance motors depending on the voltage you feed.
. No backward option
. pricey

I'm using kontroniks older Jazz Series with 9-11s1p A123. After more then one year of usage and over 500 logged runs i'm a satisfied kontronik client ;-)
