Maybe my next project....1/5 scale brushless

Thanks. That Schulze 40.160 looks like a real beast. I am surprised MGM doesn't offer something comparable.

Lutach,
How do you like the Jeti SPIN-200, does it have brakes or do you need mech. brakes?

I didn't try them yet. I did get a SPIN-75 to test out the features. It does work with a pistol grip radio and the brake is made for aircraft use to fold the prop. You can even set the brake strength and it work, but it is not proportional like a car ESC. I was going to try and replace the MCU on it, but I might do that with my old Jeti 70 ESC.

that 40.160 was/is the smoothest big CAR ESC I've ever used.. I just love the big FETs on them..

I like the Schulze, but I have smoother controllers. If my controller has the same start up as the plane controller, everyone will be blown away. I like the big FETs as well. The SO-8 FETs just looks fragile .

So...if the Schulze 40.160 is a decent 1/5 scale ESC...then what motor? I know the LMT 2280 series motor would be OK...but what about Neu?

Plettenberg, Neu or Lehner all have big motors for 1/5 scale. Plettenberg has the Bolido which has a shaft to fit the 1/5 scale pinions. Neu had the 22 series and are here in the USA. Lehner has the 36 series and I've heard the 3080 is capable of putting out 14HP. Man I want a 3680. I know a factory that can make a 8000mAh that can discharge at 250A and you can also charge at that rate, but I still have to get an answer from them if that is true. I also know a factory that has a new battery that has 6000mAh capacity and can discharge continous at 750A.
