Just looked on scorpions website and its says its: $349.99,
Ive also found some more info on it!! Its got an impressive 15amp 7.4v bec!!!! WOW

This fifth generation of Scorpion Commander V 50V SEBC series features with an internal switching BEC (rated as 15Amp peak with 5.4V, 6.2V and 7.4V selectable), plus new external governor mode (AIR 2) for auto throttle calibration, it also included an external adapter for future firmware update by PC.
Low Voltage Cut-off (12V to 48V at 1.0V increments) no need to select battery type just set the voltage the ESC should work on, by doing this, the ESC will be compatible with any future type of battery designs.
LVC= LOW VOLTAGE CUT : 120(12V) TO 480(48V).
BRK= BRAKE SETTING: 1: NO BRAKE, * 2: VERY SOFT BRAKE, 3: SOFT BRAKE, 4: HARD BRAKE, 5: VERY HARD BRAKE
AIR= 1: Activate Airplane mode, 2: External Governor mode
PCT= PROGRAM CUT TYPE (LVC TYPE): 1: CUT 50%*, 2: NO CUT JUST LED WARNING, 3: PULSE WARNING
MAT= MOTOR ACCELERATION TIME DELAY: 1: 0.15 Seconds* (recommend for AIR 2), 2: 0.3 Seconds, 3: 0.45 Seconds, 4: 0.7 Seconds, 5: 1.3 Seconds
CAR/B= DISABLED
COP= CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION: 1: PROTECTION ON*, 2: PROTECTION OFF (CHOOSING OPTION 2 WILL VOID WARRANTY)
FREQ= DRIVE FREQUENCY: 1: 8 kHz *
SS= 1: SOFT START WITH OUT GOVERNOR MODE*, 2: SOFT START WITH GOVERNOR
TIM= MOTOR TIMING: 1: AUTO TIMING*, 2: 5 Degrees (Recommend for GOV 1), 3: 15 Degrees, 4: 20 Degrees, 5: 25 Degrees, 6: 30 Degrees
GOV (P Gain) = POWER GAIN: 1 to 11 (SOFT to HARD), DEFAULT: 5*
SB (I Gain) = CURRENT GAIN: 1 to 8 (INSENSITIVE to SENSITIVE), DEFAULT: 5*
SOFT START DURATIO: 1. SHORT 10 Seconds, 2: MEDIUM 15 Seconds*, 3:STRONG 20 Seconds
*Factory Default

It is one serious brick sized speed controller, that is for sure.

I am waiting to see what a 90-100A LV version will look like.

**Jamin_00** · 19-12-2011, 04:00 PM

These i hope will be great.

A rival to Kontronik????

**Andy from Sandy** · 19-12-2011, 04:02 PM

Be careful on the BEC rating. The 15A figure is peak, which usually means it cannot be sustained for very long. The continuous would be of more interest.

**Jamin_00** · 19-12-2011, 04:09 PM

Good shout, I would expect it to be around 7.5a-10a continuous but I have emailed and asked the question.

Yer i suppose it would be around that, i didnt realise it was the peak current until andy said it was, suppose a cc bec pro would be a good choice to use!!!

Really

lol

I think the BEC will be fine but just need the confirmation otherwise it would be pointless.

Personally i would also be fine with the esc bec but other may prefure to use a higher rated bec!!

**Andy from Sandy** · 19-12-2011, 04:39 PM

As the Jive is rated at 5A with a 15A peak and I have seen some serious stick banging on 90 sized models then the internal bec will be fine if it has the same or exceeds that of the Jive. I would hope you don't need to use an external bec, that kind of defeats the object when the overall size of this thing big.

**Jamin_00** · 19-12-2011, 04:39 PM

Yes, many dont trust internals at all, just I would not use a CC BEC pro after mine went pop on 12s.

a WR would be my choice if using an external, but I use KT as I want the internal BEC so if the Scorpion can offer the same performance then thats where my money will be going

As a straight comparison of current capability and BEC performance this unit is $200 cheaper. As you say if it does work as well as a KT then it will be a very good buy. On top of that it has the phase sensor built in for v-bar governor hookup.
