My favourite ESC is still the HobbyWing 12S100A.. My Hydra240 acts up a bit too.. I bought that ESC because everyone said, oh yeah, it's good, it's this and it's that... Mind you, I love the programming.. but all I really need is voltage cutoff... I'd have to say, the Schulze 40.160WK was and still is my favourite ESC so far... I had one MMM fail on me, just went poof and another one starting to act up.. I have 2 MMM to send back.. But I think you'll do fine with the hobbywing 12S100A, don't forget you need a pistix and don't forget to set the throttle range.....

The only drawback of that ESC is that you don't have punch on a dead stop.. once you roll, even the slightest.. You could then give her lots of punch...
