Hey Guys,

Here We go! I have been waiting for reviews on this DarwinFPV 100a Cement 8s Ultra durable esc? No one has installed it nor shown what this Bad Boy? is capable of doing. It's marketed as an 100amp Waterproof 8s esc with all the bells and whistles. But...Is it all they say.


Update: April 25, 2024. The Fight Controller was the official bad component on the stack. It did not have the specs stated by the manufacturer. I could be that I just got unlucky, however, I did connect another flight controller and the 100a esc and motors are fine! Looks like a QC issue from the factory.
My stack was not as Cement bando durable as suggested by the manufacturer. Perhaps you will have better luck than me.
   • It was the flight controller that failed  

The long term use with the Amaxxinno FL9 9" FPV drone frame has been INCREDIBLE!
I have never had a 9" or macro sized quad that just fly's so great and MAN it can take a beating and look brand new. I have crashed into gravel, rock, cement, train tracks and fallen from 200' plus feet and nothing damages the Amaxxinno FL9" I challenge anyone to find a better frame that is this indestructible in a macro size. You will not find it. And if someone claims they do, then video it for all of us to see. To think I only got them for around $60 shipped is unheard of

I did this build because of a friend of mine Chrisbee5481 gave me the idea. He as successfully ran multiple 8" and 9" quadcopter Drones on 8s with a cheap HakRC 55amp esc. So surely this 100a Ultra Durable 8s esc with 4 gigs of blackbox storage will get the job done!!! or......
