Anyone used the Mystery 80 amp ESC?

Has anyone used the Mystery 80 amp ESC?

If so, what has been your experience with it?

I know it doesn't have conventional brakes or reverse, but how does it perform?

Is a Pistix adapter required for a regular trigger controller?

Thanks

I used one in a boat, and you will have to run a pixstix. Not sure how well it would work in a car, as the startup seemed kinda soft...

Well actually, I'm considering a pair of these ESC's to power a pair of Mamba Max 4600's in a boat.

I wonder if I could run a single pistix adapter through a Y connector to control both ESC's.

You should be able to do that. You may have to setup each esc individually and then plug the y cable in.

What voltage do you plan to run? If 4s or less, the aquacraft esc from the supervee 27 is pretty good and not very expensive...

I still need to pick up a pair of water cooling sleeves for the 4600's. I'm considering a silicone version like the supervee uses.

What voltage? I'm gonna try it on a pair of 10,000mah 2S Lipo's at first. I know you might think this is slow, but I've never owned a RC boat before. My intentions are to "sneak up" on it. LOL

I can also go with a pair of 5000mah 20C 3S Lipo's. If that's not fast enough, I can wire the 10,000mah Lipo's as 4S and feed both controllers with a parallel harness.

The 4600's are not rated for 4S operation. I wonder if they can handle it with the extra cooling and the fact they will never be operated at "no load", such as jumping with a Car/Truck.

I have some pretty hot props, so temps will be my guide to voltage I'm sure. Along with the "control" factor.

Are you going to run the stock gearboxes in the villian? That will give you some sort of gearing options. Water cooling is great, works way better than air cooling. You may want to figure some sort of water cooling for the escs too. Having them in a sealed enviorment can cause issues if you try air cooling, I have not had much success with that myself. If you look around on OSE they have some good tech articles.

I definately want to see some pics of this boat! I need to work on my few boats and get them ready for the early fall season. Best time to play as it is a bit cooler than summer!
