4 in 1 Debate

[jimbo385]

I fully understand the pros and cons regarding 4 in 1 ESCs and I have been running a Hobbywing 4 in 1 for quite a few months on my KK2 F450 quad.

However, has anyone tried one of these from UnmannedTech?

or one of these from ebay?

That looks really neat, might try one next build  ::)

Flybywire.

Which one?

Flybywire.

Which one?

Sorry!  Well, both look ok actually, but I prefer the ebay one with the plug in cables, although i guess that introduces more points of failure?

Edit: If space is a bit limited, i think it';s a winner, but if not, i';d probably stick with conventional, in case one of them fails.

I would be more inclined to go for the unmannedtech one, if it';s got a switching bec that is not noisy it';s the best configuration barring a separate bec; I like to use sbec esc';s on my planes purely because they are more efficient and reliable than linear becs.

The fact that both 4 in 1 ESCs say they come with ';multirotor'; firmware (SimonK or BLHeli based, i presume) is a very good thing. It wouldn';t be worth considering them otherwise.

Lots of comments.

Cheers. Just about to read my other post regarding linear & switching BECs.
