New ESC and it's looking good

[lutach]

Hi all,

Here is the thread of the ESC that I was waiting for. This ESC is very nice and it is the only one that I know of in the US that has the car mode working. All the ones available in the US are for Aircraft only. This controller has a new 8 layer PCB, 120A max continous AMPs, Wireless programming and a built in Switching BEC 5V/2.4A cont. and 4A burst that works with up to 6S lipos. I have attached some pictures.

A few more. I will start tesing it tomorrow and I'll let you all know how it went.

That looks like a solid controller, lutach. I like the idea of wireless programming.
What's the price for a thing like that?

The aircraft ones are sold through http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/ind...cPath=22_24_64 and they have it for $179.99. Those don't have the car program and this one has a new PCB. I like the wireless programming too. I'll see how it runs tomorrow.

You sneaky guy you! I saw those a while ago (including pics of the program card) and was wondering about the little button that said "car"...

Should be fun to see how this thing runs.

Sometimes it pays to sell electronic components. I wish I could show you the BOM for the PS4 ( I guess I said too much ). I hope they send me the 50V and 63V units as well to test.

How many lipo's will it take?..



EDIT...nevermind....just looked

Do you mean 8 PCBS, or a single PCB with 8 copper layers?

The heatsink looks nice, but the battery/motor labeling seems a bit superfluous. Interesting to see how it performs. Has about the same specs as a Quark 125; let's see if it will really do 6s well and how much it heats up...

I will see how much it'll heat up with 6S and that's all I'm going to run it with. Scorpion Systems said they had to do a new 8 layer PCB to lower the internal resistance. They were 1% less efficient then a Kontronik.

Looks good Lutach. I am interested in seeing your results.

Targeting the masses. If there is anything I learned during 6 years of Compaq tech support followed by 3 years of desktop and 3 years of server support for large enterprises is there are some real ID10T's out there that would wire it up the other way. The labeling is a great idea and liability out for the company should it get hooked up wrong and someone get hurt ;)

Did you hook up the red and black wires from the battery to the red and black wires from the esc? no? Well I'm sorry sir that is the problem and unfortunately for you the directions provided were not followed and your warranty has been voided. thank you for calling.

Yes, it would be an 8-layer PCB, not 8 PCBs.

Sexy. I was eyeballing those at the site linked quite some time ago. Where in the US can we obtain the car version ?

I was just going to ask the very same question, not that it matters any more since I have the MMM coming, but a solid 5/6s lipo escthat is a similar price would be a nice alternative.
