Aquastar 240v watercooled esc all good

Dec 02, 2017

I purchased this as a novice, never set up a seperate sbec before, i used a leopard hobby 4082 1600kv and graphene 2 x 3S 65-130C 6000mah lipos. First startup the motor did nothing but then revved hard out.. I then fluked it by pushing some buttons on my transmitter and to my relief got full normal control, it screams.. If you dont know what your doing ask hobbyking

Well I tested this esc with my SAW rigger equipped with a 300A motor on 6S.Temp was ok around 42C so it looks good to me.One thing I did was add a cap bank with three Rubicon caps 35V 1000muf to be on the safe side .No data logging but definetively I don't care as it push my boat to its limit with no isuues.Yes it s the well known Sf 240 so I would buy more units as the price is about 30 bucks lower than in other stores.

This is indeed the Swordfish 240 version one I believe.. The board and all components are lacquer coated to make it water resistant. Liquid rubber would make it pretty much waterproof and is easy to do as I have treated mine. It handles my Leo 5698 910kv with no problems. Throttle response is not as smooth as some ESC's, but, it gets the job done without a hiccup. I am running mine on 8s with a X450 prop. It is not a bad value at this price. I have not tried to use the data logging feature, so, I do not know if it is capable of this or not. Either way it is not a deal breaker for me. I would buy again.

Just buy one of those, not tested yet.
this is a rebadged swordfish 240 pro V1, so no on-board data logging as said in the description, this is my regret as I wanted to test this feature.
It's not waterproof, as the swordfish is.
Will let you know how it work after tests.
