hey guys, been quit awhile.
looking to purchase a new esc, any recommendations
thinking hobbywing 130 amp, running 12 cells in goblin 700 comp
any one know a discount code

Yeah, the Hobbywing 130A is a great ESC and the built in BEC saves a lot of hassle too. If you order from Hobbywingdirect.com use the code 'RCHelination' or 'Platinum ESC4U'

hit the air today with the new hobbywing 130 esc, total bad azz!
thx for the recommendation, smoggie.
with all the upgrades on the comp 700 , it was as smooth as ice..
the head speeds seem a bit low but it was just a madden flight today..
thx again for all the help guys.. thinking of maybe ordering a 570 kst , just cant get the 3 blade head out of my head, lol.. might have to order a divorce too, not sure helidirect has those.

Yes they do have it. It's about $1200 for the kit, if I remember correctly. I am not sure if it's in stock though. You'll have to check.

I can't get the mini goblins out of my head.

years of welding have made it so the small helis are harder to see orientation.
I could use some help with gearing. at least that's what I think I need to do to achieve higher head speed.

The thing that is interesting to me is the direct drive.
