Yep, unfortunately so has everyone else.. which is why they're now double in price from 2 years ago. LOL. The one I linked earlier from Chicagoland RC is like $125+tax, free shipping. Cheapest I've seen a Torox 185 in a while..

The "no warranty" doesn't bother me..
It's okay "rookie"Ah. There’s my one thing a day I learned! School didn’t teach me nothing today
Rookie enough to not understand. Pro enough to admit it? I mostly like to dabble in making custom stuff. I don’t even have an arrmaIt's okay "rookie"
Or should I call ya "Yoot"? See, "My cousin Vinnie"
I run that esc in one of my kraton 6s cars and in both my talion's always on 6s never had a problem with any of them only trouble is there just 6v no 7.4 vI also saw those HW esc’s on Aliexpress. In some buyer comments I read those were a knock-off. There are also sellers that state they sell OEM ones, but for nearly the MSRP as a LHS.
I also buy from Ali, mostly parts that my LHS doesn’t have, usually small inexpensive parts. I’m quite skeptical about buying electronics from Ali, I feel it’s like flipping a coin whether you get something good and reliable. I’d consider a relatively cheap motor to try though.
I see Jennyrc has two rebranded Hobbywing 8BL150 Quicrun for sale: Savage X Flux 6s esc and Colossus 6s esc. Both for around $85.
The 8BL150 is in a lot of cars and it’s in my FTX DR8. I run it on 4s with some aggressive gearing for offroad (why not
Those things were a steal back in the day. But there's no way I'd pay $125 for one.Yep, unfortunately so has everyone else.. which is why they're now double in price from 2 years ago. LOL.

. 37.5% is just right, but the 8bl150 only has 25 and 50%. Also, having more degrees of punch can help for fine tuning launching and flipping.
What happened to your spektrum esc?6v or 7.4v doesn't really matter too much to me for the MT410. Even a weak servo can steer the thing pretty well. The biggest draw of a nice ESC are the programming options. Honestly, on a SWB truck (and especially running copperheads), going from 25% to 50% braking makes a HUGE difference. 25 just isn't enough, and 50% makes it front flip like crazy
At $130ish for a take off corally, i'd just as soon get a brand new ESC for $150 like the mm2 or potentially a max8 v3 for $135 ("reputable" seller depending).
I tempted the "buy once, cry once" gamble a while back already. My Jennys spektrum ESC and this aliexpress Max8 are laughing at my from the grave. Do i just go big and buy a $180 MMX6s and not cry again???
I always vote sensored but otherwise a pretty small difference I think. I remember reading a post here from a Castle employee saying the MMX6S is like 15% more powerful. But I could have it wrong.
Honestly I couldn't tell the difference between the Max6 and the MM2 when running it with the Hobbywing 4985 1650kv motor.You're triggering my PTSD just asking about my spektrum experience...

Typical fire ball for the 150a ESC.
Is there really any big difference between the mmx6s and mm2 if pairing with a rocket/hobbystar/surpass motor?
I actually only have 1 MM2 but 2 Max 6 escs.
What a shame that happened..but yeah using aliexpress for such an important power adder is simply asking for trouble.
Not being rude or anything..but i wouldn't dream of buying say a motor/esc from an online site like them.
Their great for other things but yeah there's a 99.9% chance what went up in smoke was a fake.
This all of this ^.
I've never seen one, I've never even seen anyone even so much as mention any ever existing. There is more proof that Bigfoot exists than there is that there are counterfeit or fake escs on the market.Wait.. I run a firma 150a 2050 on a 16t in my kexb, no problemo, and its almost 4lbs heavier!?
Are u saying that there are no counterfeit esc's or "fakes" @slick2500 !?
Unfortunately sensored won't be a viable option here. All mmx6s and mm2 combos have either 2200kv or their lower kv motors only are reportedly good up to 4s. I only have my small mah 6s packs that I run in my kaiju and the mt410. Same with the max8 g2 (which has questionably reliability anyway from what ive read).
I'm still lost as to why it should be expected that the hobbywing would die in these conditions. Getting warm, yes. Thermal shutdown, sure I would have taken that. But since when does warm or even hot mean automatic spontaneous eruption?
The irony here I guess is that this system would be fine running on 4s. In fact it would be rather average gearing. Everything else the same, going up to 6s should have decreased amperage slightly when used at the same power (which I did). In fact, temps went down.
The MM2 is not a sensored ESC.
As long as they're all plug and play from the various manufacturers (never had a sensored system, so i can't speak to any of that).
The MMX comes with a dummy plug to cover the sensor pins if they won’t be used. I have bashed my Castle systems in snow and wet conditions plenty of times. Based on my personal experience, they aren’t any more susceptible to water damage or other issues from hard bashing. I have about ten Castle ESCs.
