thanks for that reply, very interesting.

to adjust the car during "flight" is truly tricky, as especially the breaks don't react immeadetly. by now I got used to it, almost. but throttle-response I would actually compare with the GM genius controller I used to have. My car is a truggy-style buggy, on 5s / 1700kv losi motor, about 4,4 kg total. I drive it on tracks as well, so handling with the cheapo-esc is good. except the breaks, which really s..k.

I used to have an etti controller (2 yrs ago), which was no good for car use at all, even for me... I also tried a scorpion commander 120a esc, which supposed to have a car-software. unfortunately mine didn't have that, and I have to say that I wasn't happy with the throttle-curve at all and there was cogging; acceleration was kinda lame, can't describe it. it also went up in smoke after a few rides, (got it replaced and sold it). the cheapo-one is much better...

I have once read that most of the chinese-plane esc are based on jeti-controllers. and somewhere else I have read that in such large esc's older/different fet's are used. these are larger, but like that can handle heat better and are more "rugged".

Anyways, as I am planning to get a car-esc (I think the new GM genius 120R), I just pray that it's reliable like my cheapo-esc. I just got used to worry-free driving.
