Just picked up a Hurricane 550. Second battery set it quits - fortunately I was hovering a few feet off of the ground so it settled nicely. But I'm pretty sure the ESC took a dump. Not a big surprise, how good can it be when it's included in a $250.00 kit? Anyway, this is running 6s (two 3s's in series) at a max voltage of 25.2. Any suggestions for a replacement ESC? It already has a seperate BEC and lipo receiver battery.

Thanks for the info - it looks like the HV-45 will do nicely!

BTW ...

This month's RC Heli Magazine has a nice article written by Aaron Snell that addresses high voltage systems.
