Castle Creations was nice enough to send us some sample 30/40 ESCs to test out. We decided to make a Garuda into a 6S monster to put them to the test.

Yup. We've decided to toss the CC ESC's... they're not the rage they were made out to be. Putting some LB30's on it :)

You flown it yet? How do the ESCs handle compared to our more standard blheli_s variants?

We have just a battery.

So far the ESCs are actin' up a little. When in Horizon mode, normally you can smash on the pitch/roll stick and have it correct itself. With these... if you do that twice, it'll take off on you.

Not sure if it's a tuning thing, or a ESC software/firmware thing. We are hoping to investigate more soon.
