I think @The Dude actually had one of these @Adolf . From what I remember the spool up was a bit harsh, but it did do the job. May be @The Dude could fill you in.

 

They are good. I was flying 800 at low RPM with this ESC. They have nice governor. They probably are YGE clones and probably use YGE firmware dated 2009. So from ethical poin of view... "thieves" manufacture them and fly them.

Same story as with Fu-Bar/K-Bar:

@Adolf , I had no issues with it at all, i would say they are a go... But on a smooth surface they do kick out the tail on spool up, On grass it was fine... So yer i'd say go for it, cant beat them for the price..

 

Agree... It's a catch 22, But at times you only have so much in the way of funds ..

 

I have had many clones .. as it's all i could afford when i started out.. as for the YEP's they are YGE clones .. and they do use older firmware, but if thats all you can afford at the time or when you are getting into the hobby, Well then thats the way to go.. I have Kontronics in all my stuff now, but if it where not for the clones i would'nt have gotten into the hobby, so i dont think you can really characterize someone as a thief for buying what they can afford.. Bit harsh , but each to there own ... @Adolf buy a yep 120, they work well..

 

Yeps should have a really smooth spool up if you have it set properly. AFW on and auto power on start up with heli medium

 

I have a few of these and like them. One on its own gov on one on a SK540 gov. Both work well.

 

Weird how taptalk puts me as Teradactyal. PC I am @Stephen.
