I like mine just fine. Not sure how thier warranty is though...if you spend a few more $'s you can get a Castle or Novak or Tekin which all come with great support should something go wrong.

I agree with Duuuuuuuude here; buy quality once, not sub-par twice.

In my humble opinion this is truly a "you get what you pay for" hobby. Save a few more clams and then get yourself a nice, proven system.

I had one of their 80a esc's and it lasted about 6 packs before it died. They don't respond to emails and ignore you unless
you call them. I ended up sending it in and paid $12 to ship fro
Korea to china 3 day express. They took almost 2 weeks to fix it and charged me $33 to ship it back. Total cost of warranty repair: $55, and I would assume it would cost more from the US.

Got my 80a ezrun back yesterday from warranty Repair. $55 of shipping and... It's still broke. Buy from a dependable manufactrurer. I've spent more on this esc now than on my mmpro and it's still broke.
