Im looking at both the Ubox 100v and Stormcore 100D for an 18s build. My question is one worth it more than the other. Lacroix seems to have a lot of boards on the road with few failures but ive seen a few Uboxs that blew up for one reason or another and want to make sure im not gonna eat the pavement at 40 mph if I choose it. The downside to lacroix is that it looks like its gonna be at least a month before I see the thing and its prime riding weather here in the midwest and id rather not waste a third of it waiting around. What would you choose and why?

Stormcore, unquestionably. The uBox series are a total crapshoot at this point.

I agree, If you want something that has proven to be reliable, I would close my eyes and always choose stormcore

Unless you have the whole board already ready, 1 month waiting time shouldn’t be a concern.
Purely based on customer support and the people behind the project – Stormcore every day. (They actually know what they are doing)
Of course you will have the few exceptional people like @Heathlewis who used to use a stormcore and switched to the ubox, but I would say that’s a small minority of people, and issues happen time to time regardless of the HW setup. Wear safety gear, and good luck on your 18s adventure!

Any other 18s ESCs that I should look at?

Just get a stormcore. Or if you have lots of space and money, 2 little focers.

+5 for the Stormcore.
Full list here. Some other decent single options you can merge with Canbus
