Can't agre with you more , electronize esc's are good i have two of them in my tractor tug and they have never let me down.
But short them out and you might as well kiss your money good bye, i have one at home sent it back twice now and it still wont work, so i bought an ACtion esc,
It still does the job but if i break it a quick call to Dave and it's on it's way back for a repair , normally back in your hands within a week depending on how busy he is with shows etc.
Take last week at cadma i popped a wrecked one in for repair, bought a new one and am having one updated. You dont get that with electronize.
