700xx esc
I'm going to pull the servos and esc from my e700 when the plastic 700xx is released. It's got a castle 120, I plan on running 12s. Will I be ok? I expect the plastic 700 to pull a few less amps then the current 700, anyone running a castle 120 on 12s on the current 700xx, normal 3d no crazy full collective all the time 3d

I would not recommend the 120 in the 700. A YGE 160 is probably your next best option. I used the YGE for months, but just installed a Scorpion 160 in mine. The scorpion has the advantage of having an internal BEC, and is optimized for scorpion motors.
Really, any 160 amp (Castle, Kontronik, YGE, Scorpion, etc...) should work much better.

I have a Castle 160 on my 700. The YGE ESC's are total junk in my mind and will NEVER buy another one. In fact I sold the one from the 480 and put in a Hobbywing. Still might switch that out for a Kontronik though.

I just did 3 flights on the Scorpion 160 in my 700, and 2 more flights with it in my 690. I would highly recommend it now. It has the internal BEC which performed flawlessly, and had zero issues with stock vbar goverenor settings.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding Castle, YGE or Scorpion ESCs.
