Here is some information on the kontronik esc: I have two jazz controllers. One is the 40-6-18 esc and the other is the 55-10-32 esc. Both are universal controllers, which means you can use them with cars, planes and boats. Its a programming friendly, just like the bk warriors. You only need to take out a black jumper to program, but the only thing I hated about these things, though they are super small, smaller even than the schulze, is that they thermal alot. I used the 40-6-18 with the kontronik fun480-42 and it thermaled and the motor stutterred alot. The 55-10-32 esc was used with the 1920/8 and it also thermaled, but the motor did not stutter and the smoothness was incredible. Once you convert to car mode, the EMF brake turns into proportional brake and a very smooth one, really. They dont have a heat sink and this is a minus. The 40-6-18( built in bec) and the 55-10-32( no bec) do not produce a good deal of amps. 40-6-18= 40 amps cont. and 55 surge- 6-18 cells. 55-10-32= 55 amps cont. and 70 surge-10-32 cells. I guess the one posted here is also car programmable with proportional brakes, if needed. Mr. Franz of kontronik told me the 55-10-32 is not compatible with rc-cars, but it worked with me with a bit of trouble. The 1920/8 over worked the esc, I guess.

Nice to meet you!
