The ESC is the literal beating heart of your quad, but it's also the most likely thing to go up in smoke. At $50-$150 a pop, trying to guess which one is going to be reliable is an expensive game. So, I decided to stop guessing and tortured them instead!
In this video, I put a massive batch of ESCs through three brutal tests to find out which give you the best performance, which can handle the heat, and which belong straight in the trash.
