Regretting not getting one of these when released. Seems unlikely that they will ever be in stock in the US again.

I have an 80 amp hobbywing I think but to low amp I'm sure. Thanx 4 ya help again viper in short any good quality 100 amp

Yes, that's a good route to take, however, if you ever decide to upgrade the fan/motor to something like what comes with some of the latest Freewing 90mm inrunners, you might want to check out the 130A ESCs that they use. Nevertheless, Freewing sells a very good 100A ESC with internal BEC. and it can sustain more than 100A in a "burst" situation for several seconds. I've transplanted one into my Freewing F-86 last week.
I think you are wise to abandon the 80A stock ESC. I've read in another thread that when pushed, that system can push over 80A and the burst rate is not that much more.

It's a shame the landing gear are let down by the external controller and the door sequencer. Mechanically they are things of beauty.

Well it's true. The electronics are crap. 1 non working elevator servo. ..so replaced aileron and elevator. With fwing. Metal gear ..all good. Now esc sh?? Itself... So looking 4 replacement advice!!! 4 me motian is easy to buy from. Only in stock option ztw 125 amp gecko. Hoping u guys can guide me::: it has 100amp in it. Lastly. The difference. Between ubec or sbec

Loved the look but components were junk, one flap servo died on the bench during setup and when the landing gear started retracting on it’s own I said goodbye

1. You don't have to buy an aftermarket ESC like the Gecko, although they are quite good. Nothing says you can't just buy an ESC that's from the "spare parts" bin of any of the current EDF jets. Of course, compare prices.
2. As for the BEC, get whatever gives you the most peace of mind. I like the built in BECs that come with ESCs. I've never had a problem with any of them and you don't that extra thing that dangles around that you have to secure somewhere. However, some people lose a lot of sleep over it and prefer to have an external BEC and an opto ESC.

Well. I got 1 was going to paint it base grey and go from there. But seeing it in life. Nu. It looks good. With all of its bits. Ordered. 3 fwing servo in advance. But I need 4. Elevator. Is 2. Was real nervous with f35. Not this one have my travels. Done in mm. Couple weeks away B4 maiden. It's not fwing fline standard. But it's not dynam. A place 4 all. In the marketplace and price. But gotta say. Mig 17. Frame. Wow. Cantwait

so i got the kit version and was wondering if any body have found a direct replacement landing gear. or if some off a different model would fit. i ordered some but they been on back order for 3 months. thanks guys:f4::f4:

Nice solution! Although clunky in design, there's a certain simplicity to the units which makes them somewhat user serviceable.

But only users who have dream state revelations and a little help from forum friends.

Mine too...

[xviper]

Thanks. I hated the thought of this model being incapacitated for the rest of the year. It's in my group of "faves".

Awesome work Xviper!
