he also posted the question in the fly low thread, and Rick won it over there.

Come on plank! I have more self respect than that!

Answer was a 70" AJ Slick Fantasy Blue

Only complaint is ZTW really really needs to put longer battery leads on their esc's[/QUOTE]

Yes, they need longer leads! It puts too much of a restriction on ESC location. I wonder why they are so short? I know the theory of short leads but let's be realistic here. Every other manufacturer has longer leads.

The low voltage cutoff...lets say theyre not lying!they give you no power!

Maybe other manufacturers have bigger capacitors which are able to withstand the higher ripple voltage associated with longer leads, and the ZTW's don't??? (Not saying they don't have big enough capacitors, just throwing it as there as a "maybe"....)

Gents, this is a perfect discussion to have with ZTW's US distriubtors on this site, AltitudeHobbies and QuantumHobby. You can find them in the Vendors section. I'm sure either one would be happy to confirm or dispel any theories on components and construction. Shoot, you might be able to provide some feedback to them that might result in increased leads!

I was thinking the same thing.

I think the price of ZTW ESC's is worth soldering on longer leads and bigger capacitators
