Just wanted to let you know:

I had a scorpion esc 55A for 2 weeks, it did a perfect job.
2 days ago I connected the battery and the ESC made alot of smoke :s
I checked all things but I don’t think I did something wrong. I used this esc/motor on a foamie so it was overkill. I never got over 30 amps I think.

I went back to the shop … and you know what, I got a new one from scorpion. ONLY 2 DAYS AFTER IT DIED.  That’s service.!!

So for all who wants to buy a new esc or motor buy one from scorpion !!!
You can get it here:

This plane has a slot cut out for the prop. This way the prop is more protected during landing/crashing.
This plane has nice flight characteristics and is very easy to build.

For more information about this plane you can take a look at the rcgroups thread!
