Any HV ESC's coming out this year for car/truck apps?? - RC-Monster Forums

I spoke to some of the Heli guys that claim they are data logging spike as high as 200amp with the HV110 and with a fan they claim it takes it like a champ. So for the time being I'm going to cross my fingers with it. Only problem is brakes....I will run the brakes at the lowest setting.

This is not adding to this conversation so I apologize in advance...

I just thought it was funny that they are adding fans to the esc in the heli.... Those things are just giant fans aren't they? Adding another one seems kinda silly.

Sorry... Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion.

Guess it really depends on what body they use and where its placed.

A Kontronik Jazz 55-10-32 is able to provide peak Amps above 100A. I have several logs on 10s1p A123 with a Neu 1515 and Neu 1512 "proofing" this. I see regular Peaks of 2KW and the max of my batteries seems to be around 2.5Kw. No cogging so far and no thermaling (small heatsink added).

2 new HV ESCs will be released by kontronik in spring. Jive 60+ HV and Jive 80+ HV. Both able to be fed by up to 12s lipo. 60a and 80A cont. With proper cooling (heatsink) they will be able to provide twice those numbers. Burst currents are not published yet. Both will have a car program with forward only and proportional brake. Both will have an integrated BEC wich can be used up to 12s lipo. And they will be waterproof. Preliminary prices: 250 Euros for the smaller one and 300 Euros for the Jive 80+ HV. Both could be interesting choices for HV applications.

As of now details are only published in german. Clicking on "Datenblatt" leads you to the specs (published in german and english).

I downloaded the Kontronik catalogue and the Jive will not be having proportional brakes, but only time will tell if they will or not have it. Hope they do. (Edit: Actually they might have the proportional brake now that I looked at the link othello provided).
