HK (flashable) 30A is ~$3 cheaper than Turnigy Plush 30A.
Flashing is free.

Yes, I went with the F-40A, seems to one of the best. Cheap, all-N-fet, Atmel, pads in a row, external oscillator. And I finally figured out how to flash them last night. Whew, that was tricky. Information overload, analysis paralysis, and then finally enlightenment, and now it's pretty easy.
I've just ordered 7 30a ones. I'm guessing it's just an atmel plush. I almost pulled the trigger on the f30 Esc's because I was going to flash them anyway. The thing is they were only about $2 cheaper each. The multistars come with a 4a(if u believe it) switching bec. Switching is better than linear which on my understanding is what the f30a is. Perhaps I should have gone with what was tried and tested but it's done now. If I read anything negative about them I can cancel anyway because one of the items on the order is backordered

Switching BEC isn't better if you end up connecting them in parallel, you need to make sure to only every have one feeding a controller or they cna cause issues, not usually a problem with linear. They can also be noisier for FPV gear.
The F30A is a better overall ESCs, all N-Fets and external oscillator.

Yep, my F-40A have switching BEC's, and I ran two of them in parallel while doing some bench testing. One of the BEC's failed within about 5 minutes and is now outputting 12V, which fried my servo tester too.
I actually strongly prefer a linear BEC in this application, powering the flight controller. They are more reliable when used appropriately. Plus the power is cleaner, less noise. But, I think it's best to run an independent, stand-alone regulator to power the FC anyway. You can use the built-in BEC to power your gimbal servos.
Hi,
I've got turnigy K-Force 40a http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...hless_ESC.html on my hexa, I found them good so far, but I have no other ESC to compare, do you think are they good for a multi, and are the turnigy multistar better ?
Thanks
