Anyone thinking about running this, Yellowjacket??

At 1800kv-2000kv, what sort of top end is coming out of them?

Dude in the video is running his outrunner in water. Seems naturally counter intuitive. Yeah they are brushless, but how dirty can we get these things?

I run the SW4, the Copperhead (do not recommend it) and the Mambax with revolvers. The SW4 is great but being able to run it on 4S is really nice. 4s is smoother, slower and faster. The MambaX is over half 1/2 and once heavier and larger but it has a good internal BEC, the SW4 does not and it allows you to turn on and off your drag brake form the controller. I don't think any other ESC has that feature.

that yellow jacket outrunner looks alot like the outrunners from china for $15-$20 same colors even lol
and for what its worth i ran my revolver off of a castle mmx and the thing was loud and almost unbearable i switched to a cheap off brand esc and the noise is almost gone and what noise it dose make is much easyer on the ears and with the sound simulator you cant even here it
the cheap chinese outrunners are almost as quite as the brushed motors but dont have neer the torque of the homlms motors and the start up isent as smooth im running smaller pinnion gears on the cheap ones
i wish john would put out more of the devolvers they were a great budget motor option

I have to say I am not a fan I love 3BroRc but this motor does nothing but make noise I installed in a new Gseed very light rig really smooth trans and shafts and it just puddered and so I will bee posting one for sale soon to someone who will love it!! BUZZZZZZZ......

The Tekin RX4 has a on the fly adjustable drag brake. Not sure how smooth they are compared to castle tho, I didn't see that you can make your own throttle curves like the mamba x. The RX4 is marketed as a crawler esc so it might be good

The tekin esc is a great crawler esc. It is much quieter then the caslte. Now I ran an rx8 gen 2, with the rx4 firmware in it, and when I ran my first caslte esc (mamba x), it was so much louder I thought something was wrong. I just don't understand why caslte's escs are so darn loud. But between the price difference, and having rock racer mode, I now have multiple casltes and doubt I'd buy another tekin.
