Has anyone tried swapping the stock Phantom speed controllers with aftermarket airplane ones?

There's plenty of higher-current ESC's available that are optimized for multirotors, but as Rilot pointed out there's not really any need to with the Phantom. Some people have upgraded to 30A OPTO's when transferring their Phantom's guts to another platform such as the FW450, but I don't see a point to doing it otherwise.
I was pondering swapping the stock air frame and putting all of it on another frame. Because I recently fried some parts due to a motor magnet coming loose.
Yeah if you're swapping everything to a new platform you may want to get some new ESC's anyway rather than mounting the bare stock Phantom units on non-enclosed frame.
Great! You can go with DJI's 30A OPTO's if you want, but you should be able to just use the 18A version with the Phantom batt/motors. Here's an example, but it might be hard to find them in stock for the next week or two: http://1uas.com/DJI-ESC-18A-OPTO-Brushl ... uadcopters
