I am getting everything in order to build my tri, and am a little scared about ESC flashing. I am sure I could figure it out, but I would probably melt a couple ESCs in the process. so up untill now I was just planing on using stock plushes .

but today I saw that RCTimer sells SimonK flashed ESCs for 11 bucks! that's what I was planing on spending anyway:

is this too good to be true? does anyone here have experience with these?

they also have these OPTO ones, but I have no idea what the difference is:

I am a little worried that with both of these, because they are so cheap, even though they have simonK they are crappy ESCs underneath.

With the software I have downloaded for them, the pin layout, and I have a homemade adapter for them, the fact I've never had one fail yet and I'm to 12, they're dirt cheap, the 20A and 30A Hobby King ESC UBECs are about my only choice.

OPTO has no BEC if you were still wondering...So for a quad, you could do 3 OPTO's and one of the 780's, just make sure the 780 is on the number one position...
