Please note Hobbywing have change the name of their escs. First it was Pentium but intel complained so they changed it to Fentium but this was too similar to Pentium, so it has now changed to Funfly. See the Hobbywing website for details.

Bought 4 of them for a Multiwii quadrocopter. Copter is not flyable. ESC are too slow now. Hobbywing changed the Firmware to v4.0. The whole multicopter community in rcgroups made the same experiences with the new Hobbywings. Hands off them for Multicopters until Hobbywing changes the firmware. Nils

I' buy 4 of this for tricopter and home made Easy Star clone. Works great and never let me dawn in about 2 Years of full use. Need 3 more for tricopter. Only problem i have with this...when are out of stock :) Very fast shiping in comparation with H.K Usualy..I' receive the package to Italy in about 2 - 4 days maxim. To bad I' can not found here all items I' need.

by oliver Date Added: Thursday 23 February, 2012
not a terrible ESC but not great. For some reason my one seems to drain the battery fast. on a 2200 3s it last 8mins with a 1400kv strong power motor. Black Mantis is way better. That lasted nearly 25 minutes. Would recommend getting the 20amp black mantis instead of this.

hi, I ordered several items last weekend as usual with all my previous orders delivery was swift and the order was complete.No messing about with back orders that never arrive. Thank you and keep up the good work Yours, Ken Seymour

Nice speed controller at good price. I didn't bother getting a programming card as it's easy enough to set up with the TX & I am not going to be changing the settings every 5 mins. Another good product from GC

by Phill Date Added: Thursday 08 December, 2011
Bought 6 of these and every one works flawlessly after many flights

by Steven Date Added: Saturday 12 November, 2011
Excellent controller, with good functions. Mine came in a black heatshrink with Funfly as the label. As described in the text. This one is going on a trex 250.

Have had a few of these in the past, bought two more to put in an own design twin mustang in combination with a Keda 2209-26 (1130kv). One of the ESC powers the RX (and 3x HS-55 servos: 2 ailerons, 1 elevator), the other ESC has it's BEC disabled (removed red wire). Had two flights with the twin mustang (5 minutes and 8 minutes), and in both flights the motors suddenly lost powers for a fraction of a moment. Could continue the flights, but a little worried as for the cause of these "interrupts". I never had any problems with other hobbywing ESC. Still 5 stars as I'm not sure if the interrupts are a result of the ESC or other components (radio interference?). Will buy more.

Now called flyfun. Works with same programming card.

by Nigel Date Added: Thursday 29 September, 2011
This is the second HW ESC Ive bought ,the first being of higher amps, which I fitted to my 450 heli.This one is destined for a 250 build that I am just starting.If it performs as well as the first one did then I shall be equally as pleased. Really good value for money!

by giancarlo Date Added: Friday 01 July, 2011
I bought 4 for reglatori quadricopter are very pleased with both the product and for the punctuality of delivery GIANCODRC due from Giancarlo.

by Ray Date Added: Friday 10 June, 2011
Just got Three more of these for yet another Tricopter im building, Good price, fast delivery, its hardly worth bothering buying from China(unless the Cod is out of stock) Hobbywing ESC's really are the Cream of the chinese esc's, i buy them almost exclusivly now as i know what im getting and im yet to be dissapointed with them.

by Rolandas Date Added: Saturday 02 April, 2011
I've got 10 of them and they are brilliant. Running it on my tricopter and quad. Great service from GC too.

by William Date Added: Tuesday 29 March, 2011

by paul Date Added: Tuesday 22 February, 2011
Great ESC. Have had a few Hobbywing ESC's and never had a problem. Really smooth, great control. Have always been a fan of the Black mantis ESC's, but actually prefer these.

by chris Date Added: Wednesday 27 October, 2010
great speed controller,a little larger than i thought but will fit in the small plane. great service.

by Ricky Date Added: Thursday 21 October, 2010
Bought one of these a while back, never let me down, delivers power really smooth.

by Ian Date Added: Saturday 16 October, 2010
Running this at 16-17A continuously for 6 mins until battery cutout. No problems so far. Seems to work well.

by roy Date Added: Thursday 30 September, 2010
SP 18A ESC Speed controller I was impressed at how smooth and quietly they ran. At the price, they are very good value and I will be buying more.

by Allen. Date Added: Friday 23 July, 2010
Great ESC no problems at all I used in a little 3D model, really pleased

by leslie Date Added: Friday 07 May, 2010

by John Date Added: Thursday 25 March, 2010
Working well on a range of 2208/xx motors and both 2 & 3S packs :) Recommned a programming card if you are buying many HW ESCs.

by mark Date Added: Thursday 01 October, 2009
Terrific esc with a genuine ability to sustain amp ratings. Fantastic reliability and throttle responses. Programme card system is the easiest out there. Very nicely made like all hw esc's.

by Richard Date Added: Sunday 30 August, 2009
Good value small, light ESC. excellent for small models.

by Terence Date Added: Tuesday 07 July, 2009
This is the 3rd HobbyWing ESC I've bought from Giantcod. Under half the price paid at a model shop, that's after a 10% discount from a model shop too! The card is worth every penny as setting ANY Hobbywing ESC is so very, very easy.

by Dave Date Added: Wednesday 05 November, 2008
Highly recommended. Good price, easy programming with programming card, runs nice and cool with a CF2812 on a 3SLiPo in a little high-wing trainer.

by Derek Date Added: Tuesday 04 November, 2008
I have used in a MINI MAG, no probs, stays cool and its great at any price, go for it . Thanks to Rob for all his help.

by JOSE Date Added: Friday 16 November, 2007
