Well, dont know for UK but just found them available in my local store in Norway http://www.elefun.no/p/prod.aspx?v=14951&i=79
The price equals to approx 200£ so pretty pricey

Wrong attitude i think.

It is only likely to lead to dissapointment and put you off from flying F5B.

Buy something that is know to work, recommend CC P-180 with George mod.

Bad habit i have not always accepting what the crowd have said is the only truth out there Sometimes i pay the price........
Anyway, why do these things always go up in flames ?. They are equipped with both overcurrent and overheating protection.
I have tested these features in ESC`s previously, and KNOW they work unless you disable them. I can understand why you do in competition, but i can accept a motor slow down/shut off.

That is the worst part.
I guess You can turn down overcurrent protection by programming card.
But there is no way they made an option to turn down OVERHEATING protection,which turns the whole system OFF when You last expect it.
Well,if You are not planning to push it further then 180A then go for it .

Just forget it.

Why risk your brand new S14 to go up in flames?!

It will likely put you off flying Hotliners/F5B and that would be a shame?

And why? It's not going to save you any money either.

They don't always go up in flames. But when you cross the street without looking you don't always get hit by a car.
