Extreme budget escs
 

They're here! If you want a REALLY cheap esc, look on hobby city. I was going to get one of these, but settled on the mm. I emailed them about it and look what happened! Suppo esc's carried by hobby city! Here are the prices after you sign in:
60a - 15.99
70a - 18.85

Max Current: 120A
No BEC
Timing: 1/7/15/30 programmable
PWM: 8/16K

Features.
Constant current 100A Max 120A <10S
Li-Poly 9-21 cells Ni-MH 2-7 cells

User Programming options.
Battery setting
Throttle Range
Brake setting 4 options:
Direction and Cutoff Type
Timing Mode Setting: 1 / 7 / 15 / 30
PWM setting: 8K/16K

Who is getting one? I almost wish I didn't get my mm and got this instead. I don't know if they have a soft start, but I think you can program that out. Now only if they started carrying the 200a one....:whip:

Here is a link to the manufacturers website: http://www.suppomodel.com/

I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this and I'm not trying to get any mods mad at me. :oops:

Not bad..

Is it me, or the wires look a little on the small side...

I see dynamic braking in the specs, does that mean car brakes or prop brakes?

Prop brakes... Nobody makes car esc's that cheap! :wink:

Awe.... :cry:

That's an assumption.

They could be made that cheap if someone would put a couple more hours into the firmware for some good brakes!

Here is links to the escs. You need to take out the *'s.

I have a 40a esc made by the same company. I used it with a Neu 1105/2y (5200kv) and it seemed to work great. I never got around to program out the soft start, so I just used it for speed runs mostly in my Sportwerks Recoil. You can get around the soft start a little by going minimum throttle for about a second then you could really hammer it. It stayed much cooler then my Quark 33a.

Takedown - You should get the 200a for your 1/5th if you go through with it. Most of this companies products are stocked at www.lightflightrc.com. You could e-mail them and I think they could get you the 200a. Their prices are a little higher then hobby city, but good luck trying to get something special ordered at hobby city.

Awhile ago I tried to contact suppo directly from the e-mail address I found on the website and I never got it to work. I don't know about customer support from these guys. hehe Support

Hey, even with the dynamic breaking, is there any way you could just put it in a truck with mechanical breaks? Would you have to disable the dynamic breaking via programming card for that to work? I'm kinda considering putting this in a REVO, if I could ever get my hands on one:no:...

Thanx,
Brijar!!!

I don't like the LVC setting...slows down @ 3.0 and stops at 2.9....IMO too low could potentially puff packs...I like to set mine @ 3.2-3.3 vpc

You could also run an external lvc if you want. I think that is what the Apogee LOA is.

Yeah a 200A like this one http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7651 would've been good. Good thing Suppo paid for my MOSFETs.

That's some coincidence! :lol:

Suppo will still try to make it. After they sent the payment for my MOSFETs, they sent me an e-mail asking for my help again. Only if the companies I help could give me some more credit instead of products and headaches.
