Ultra fast microprocessor controlled and extremely low resistance circuit and chip design, water-proof PCB, and aluminum water-cool heatsink for better thermal dissipation are just some of the features in the new TURNIGY Aquastar range of brushless boat speed controllers. The AquaStar brushlessesc is a high performance ESC capable of standard and competition use.
Full protection, include signal loss, temperature, and motor jam protection. Programable by USB on a PC or by your Tx. Compatible to use with all radio systems.
I already have the aquastar 120 with programming card (Product ID 9052000008). I like that ESC and need a couple more for my new boats, but I don't want to buy the bundle with another programming card (and pay the extra for a spare card). Will this esc work with that programming card?
no it will not. This is a Hifei or Swordfish 120 esc. you must use a proper program card and not the same as the other named Aquastar 120. This is a better esc.
can this be used in a plane if theres sufficient cooling ?? i mean we dont water cool the esc in our planes ?? i know this is inside a closed sealed area, but is that the reason for the need for water cooling ??
It will most probably be ok but it will have to be your choice.You could take a look at the Turnigy 180amp TR-M-180A which has a BEC,it is dearer unfortunately but would be very safe.
Sure! You can use it for boats up to 1 meter in length, with up to 2000kv brushless and lipo 6 in series without any problem, according to the propeller speed control is mounted by a 40 to 48mm in diameter.Excellent value for money. Yours sincerely, Giovanni
eXraycer - is downolading file from website and printing it is complcated too You? i don't need ziptie lunchbag either if that will mean keeping prices as low they are...
I recived my 120a aquastar and usb linker with no instructions or no driver disk. How can I get to download these two files. It was supplied in a plain ziplok bag with no instructions, disk or anything. Tried manufacturers website with no luck, also tried instant msg help on this site and ended up #42 in the queue for service. HELP!
OK I found the files I needed on the 'Files' tab above. Guess I expected my hand held a bit more. Still not impressed with the experience. IMO, they gotta finish the product by giving people the instructions on paper, drivers on disks and not supply quality electronics in blinkin' lunch bags. A bit too cheap that's all. It's worth the extra 2bucks if that's what the finishing touches would cost.

It has 1 very solid cooling plate between 2 of total 3 boards so it's cooled from inside :-) The top of transistors (under the turnigy sticker) is covered by flat metal sheet. Take a look at the picture and you will see it's corners. Big + is 4x470uF capacitors.
Please also add to description the "FAST START" ability. The effect is the same as connecting Brushed motor directly to battery :-)
This ESC uses HEXFETPower MOSFET IR LR7843. - Very Low RDS(on) at 4.5V VGS (3,2mΩ) and 2,6mΩ at 10V - Ultra-Low Gate Impedance Current is limited by package - 30A So do not believe in "Continuous Drain Current, VGS @ 10V - 161A at temp 25 centigrade"
Jason5001 :D I put the specification of 1(one) MosFet - and as You can see on the picture (in my other reply above) you have 5 of them in row for each phase That means 5x30A which is 150A(max). And that is great :-) I know the manufacturer of this ESC...
Hifei and Hobbywing are both quality manufacturers. Hifei makes the Aquastar. Hobbywing makes the Seaking. Turnigy is just a house brand that HK puts on everything. There is no such manufacturer as Turnigy.

Easy to program with USB linker, smooth, good acceleration, it died after 1 minute... Setup Hyperion 3026HS/1600, 6S flymax, 42 prop. May be I can get an other one from UH?
You have to program your TH Subtrim to B100, and Th Punch to 4pcnt. After that, with your TX on and while TH all the way back (TH FULL), power up your ESC. During 4 beeps, release the TH. Your should get your ESC calibrated.

This esc is worth the money. Smooth throttle response and cool running.
Water nipples need to be sealed and tightened.

Reviewers have mentioned the unit failing after a minute or two. Well here's the deal. I have two of these and both have the same problem. BEFORE you run this thing cut the heat shrink off and check the water cooling nipples. They are probably loose and will LEAK water! Put threadlock on them and re-secure with a wrench - not too tight just snug. Reapply heat shrink. These are NOT WATERPROOF so keep them dry. Good value but you have to fix them.
