They just work!

The governor works, the BEC works, the ESC works. Thank you Kontronik. I don't like your price, but I love your functionality. I love the fact that I don't have to fiddle with 2 dozen settings to make it work. I flew my logo many, many times yesterday and not once did I even think about a bogging head speed. The governor didn't make my tail twitch and overall the unit just performs flawlessly. Thank you.

And thank you for making them rock solid. I may crash my heli from time to time, but I know it won't be caused by your product.

I have often heard the saying to "buy the best you can afford". Too bad most people who have never tried one don't understand that "they can't afford not to buy one".

If I only had all those hours back I struggled trying to eliminate tail wag with governors on other ESCs I owned. This one fact alone makes me glad I switch to Kontronik.

I have been reading about the VBar governor and using other ESCs to make it work. I don't really understand how the VBar governor could be any better...likely my skill level is not to that point yet. For the time being and for quite some time in the future, I am satisfied.

Thank you Kontronik! What a great product.

I like the simplicity and functionality....and the soft start! Well worth the $$, although I did have a 'mystery shut down' after lift off about a month ago, which caused a minor crash on my l400, (didn't check the error code/blinks after it happened) - still a bit nervous after that but seems to be fine now after rebinding.

It is almost comical to watch the CC fiasco unfold. I am once bit-twice shy. I learned my lesson and won't do it again.

They did just increase their prices though...

prototype3a · 08-23-2011, 11:16 AM

Looks like a $10 price increase on all Kontronik products.

Yeah, but worth it. I fought it for years and lost a 450 pro and a L 400 due to a Castle and Align unplanned fiery death . That was a year and a half ago, and I never looked back. The way I look at it is $200 more for an ESC, or a $500 rotating firework.

Thought that was as a result of the USD weakening against the Euro.

They do hurt the pocket a bit but they are worth every red cent IMO. Kontronik is the bomb (figuratively...... not literally like CC)
