Speed Passion Silver Arrow ESC opinions

[scarletboa]

they ARE indeed a re-badged EZrun 80a esc without the fan and with a new heatsink. the thing that gets me though, is that the EZruns are proving to be pretty reliable from what i've seen. i was one of the "lucky" ones that had a 150a let out the magic smoke in 5 minutes. the 150a EZruns have a very low failure rate as long as you don't mess with the settings too much. i think the fatal flaw with mine was, when i first tested it out with 3s, i had to turn the LVC off because the auto lipo doesn't support 3s. after a 1 minute run with my 3s batts in parrellel, i switched to series (6s) and as soon as i gave it throttle, i got sparks from the solder joints in my series adapter. i gave another small pull of the trigger, and my esc started spewing smoke and ALL of the deans plugs currently on that truck had become unsoldered. also, the 14awg wire in my series adapter now sounds "crunchy" when i bend it. thank god for my poor soldering skills. lol
