And another new 100A esc (4-8s lipo)
 

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...og/SUP-125.jpg

They are called SuperSimple because they come with a limited range of programming functions and are designed to be plug-n-play.
A perfect ESC for those looking for something simple to use and economic.

Specs:
Weight: 85g
Size: 70x50x13mm
Cells: 4-8S Li Po
Constant Current: 100A
Max Current: 120A
No BEC
Timing: 1/7/15/30 programmable
PWM: 8/16K

Features:
Constant current 100A Max
Li-Poly 4-8 cells
Dynamic Braking
BEC: opto
Auto shut down when lose signal
Slow down at 3.0V per cell Lipo, Cut-off at 2.9V per cell Lipo 0.8V NiMh

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

Note:
This ESC is OPTO, with no BEC supplying power to your receiver. You will need an extra power source for your receiver. (such as UBEC or Rx battery pack)
If you hear the music tone repeat for more than 3 times, you may need to check your power source to the receiver.

Not that new.

it's not? Hmm..

It's new to Hobby City. They haven't even gotten them in stock yet. Was this for sale elsewhere?

Ive known about this for a couple weeks.

a couple weeks is not new?

:lol: It's on Bidproduct. Same esc, but yellow shrink.

Does it have car programming? I would suspect for 30 dollars you will get a 30 dollar ESC, but hey, I could be wrong.

No car programming and it's made by Suppo. A few companies here in the US sell them at a very good price as well. I'm just getting new price for my 6S 150A and 10S 120A ESCs and if I get it by today, I'll be sending them $$$ tomorrow and should have them in about 15 days after they receive the $$$ :lol:. I know you guys are looking for the cheapest car ESC out there and I'll try to make mine at the lowest price possible.

I don't think it's so much looking for cheap but rather reliability at a good price :wink:

Here it is on bidproduct: http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ...20ESC_116.html

So it doesn't have proportional brakes? Shame really if it doesn't as I was going to try it for that price.

Is this the same thing as the TrueRC Volo ESC?

well as i just read, the volo is 5s only - this is 8s....

(and this is hasnt got any car software...)

The 8S controller posted above is made by Suppo. I just received their 30A car ESC for testing and if it works ok, Suppo will be able to add the car software to any of their ESCs.

This could be promising... Is the 30a a 3s esc?

I actually don't know as they are trying the car software for the first time and it's not like the car software my 2 ESCs have. I'll see how they go after I come back from Sunday's RCM bash.

What'll be your test equipment?

My M18 with a 9000Kv motor.

On 2s?

Yes. Well actually 2S2P.

I just looked at the instructions again and it's 30A (50A burst) and 4S capable. The BEC only handles 3S though and you have to disable it for 4S.

Seems like it'd be hard to find room for a BEC on a car that will use a 30a esc.

Some BECs are small, but you really don't need to go above 3S in the little guys.

Yeah, I ran an 18t on 6s before though. I can't even remember what esc I had. I was running a hacker e-37 with 6s thunderpower lipos.

I was actually talking about 3S with a 9000Kv+ motors.

Linear BECs on 3s are ok as long as the current draw isn't high. In something that small, I can't imagine the servo drawing any more than 0.5A bursts at most. At 3s and 0.5A, that's only 2.5w wasted...
