Hobbywing 150 Amp ESC into Savage Flux

not surpised on another Savage Flux esc failure

....got a pic? I am collecting pics of burnt MMM speedies

I'd go with the Hobbywing 150A in a flux from what I have seen it's been very reliable on the Savage Flux set ups

Hi,
Sorry no pic. The esc does not die a spectacular death. No smoke, no sound no light , it just stop working suddenly. I have even change the switch to see if the switch is the problem, nothing help it just stop working.

my EZrun 150a esc died the first day i got it. it let out the magic smoke. it was in a BL converted savage x 4.6. i plugged it in, it gave 6 beeps for 6s lipo, and then when i gave throttle, i got sparks (from all my solder joints in my series connector) and the esc let out a big cloud of smoke. luckily, my crappy soldering skills saved my batteries. those solder joints would only get a little hot (115F) when i was still using the KB45XL motor and a plane esc. i had switched to a KB45L motor (smaller and lower kv), so those solder joints had just enough strength under normal running conditions and they acted like a fuse when the esc went kamikaze.

Hi,
Has tried out the MGM TMM16025 in my flux. It seems to be much smoother than MMM at low speed. After repeated speed run with 4s and 6s on 22t pinion, the temperature of the heat sink seems to be lower than the plastic casing of the mmm when i touched them. Has measured a max continous current of 95 amps with a peak of 205 amps using the internal current sensor. It seems that 16025 would be a good replacement for the mmm in a flux.
