I am looking for the lowest cost of the high quality brands
of Brushed and Brushless speed controller.

FMA Direct has just introduced a line of Brushless controllers, programmable
at  very good prices.

Lowest cost and highest quality are usually mutually exclusive......

That would be true, but, that is not what I said. I said
lowest cost of the high (not highest) quality brand. Of the
brands that are reasonably reliable which one is the lowest
priced?

My experiences with GWS electronics have always been positive, and they
offer a nice selection of brushed and brushless ESCs.

Sometimes the Internet is a very small place.  I just realized after
re-reading some of your questions here that we were just flying together out
at the Midwest Performance Flyers' field in La Vista tonight, Peter!

Yes, and this is the motor that Fred Tuckerman suggested as
the answer to my original question:
 http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4852&Product_
Name=TowerPro_BM2408-21T_/_18A_BEC_/_1047_Prop_Combo

I ordered one right away, less than $21.00 for motor, ESC,
and prop including shipping, and it puts out 113.4 Watts at
50 grams of weight and 10 volts. It looks like it is about
70% efficient at max power 113.4 / (16.2 * 10)

You and everybody else. Price doesn't seem to equal quality these days. Even
the most expensive ESC's are blowing!

take al look at the simprop magic speed controller.

They are mid-priced and i have no problem with mine.
you receive a high power BEC that handles +3A.
and an ESC that can handle 6 lipo cells.

GWS...not bad very cheap but you need an programmer card and that not
interesting if you only need onde esc.

FMA has just come out with a new line of ESCs that are significantly less
cost than comparable Jeti controllers.  I just put one in my Telemaster
Electro and it works great.  Nice programming card is available also.
