What the hell is BK doing???? - 11.10.2009, 01:36 PM

I was just browsing the shop to see if any new car controllers were coming out and surprise...surprise....

What a shame BK.

That's so sad... I wonder if they're using their own firmware... and they even branded them BK.

but these have a sensored option. Last I checked the hobbywings didn't have that. Still looks like a hobbywing to me though.

I think the 150A and 80A ones do have sensor ports on the ESC, but the motors they combo with them never have sensors

That's really low, and very stupid if they actually think someone will pay that.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

I really thought a company such as BK would do their own controllers. Now they sell Hobbywing stuff and Suppo as well.

Well.... Even though its low end hobby wing, its still a huge step up from the totally outdated products they were selling. I think the controllers they were selling before were designed in 1990.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

They are scumbags anyway. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. Stay away from them.
