Well, it is said the hi-amp versions have a lower resistance. So what is the advantage of the non hi-amp version??

you can use it in star configuration, and they are not as hot in the KV range..

I'm still counting the days when the 2280 and I will meet...

I probably should've got one that has 800 kv rating... but I'm pretty sure I can do some damage with the 1480 kv rating 2280-5 hiAmp....

i guess when I get too excited, I don't think...

You know your self or low self esteem..?

;)

On 40 cells (20S/2P) this thing hauls..

You got the 36150 don't you?

I just wanted to point to this little beauty; the eagletree car data system, so you're able to see if your setup had a good reason to burn..

probably a loose contact aqwut!

A good quality controller like that doesn't burn up, just like that..

DO they?

Notorious Schulze issues, if you ask me. I had a few burn for no reason(well loose contacts, even though they were the new plugs schulze sent!).

I checked everything before .... plugged the battery and it smoked... I thought I may have soldered the wire wrong.. but nope... the motor contacts were perfect.. I checked everything.. this is the second time it's done this... the first time schulze repaired it.. they sent a fried 18.149(wasn't even mine) and charged me $180 for repair.. what the h*ll is their warranty for?...

Now a little while after.. this happens... the only schulze that I haven't had problems with were the 40.160WKs... those worked well for me.. big ass an esc can be.. but its was working well.. I spend more money on repair than the esc itself.... especially the 18.61K's those are Cr*ppy.... I just sold mine for $200 cdn... lucky me :)

I will start buying BK controllers from now on.. right after the 40.160WK... You guys like the BKs better than the schulze....?

I'd take a BK over a schulze any day for the high voltage stuff. The 40160 is HUGE. I would never run that controller simply due to its size and cost.
Bottom line-every controller brand will have a few controllers that malfunction or have something go wrong, but BK stands behind their stuff and honors the warranty if the user is not at fault.

Haha, Serum, the trophy collector ;)

This "loose contact" excuse is getting old! I imagine the guy in the Schulze office has a pre-written e-mail for 18.61 users.
A weak excuse, IMO, to always blame the customer.
