I was unable to sync Sammus's ESC to anything at all, just blinking LED no beeps no nothing, but I do have brakes :)

Opened unit number 2 and it beeps, spins and does whatever it wants but none of what I expecting to see...

Is it possible to set it all? I ditched everything and start playing with Traxxas transmitter (what can be simpler), trying to reverse channel, 30/70, 50/50 splits it just doesn't make sense. I guess I will try next weekend, what a bummer.

BTW your powerboard looks awesome. I can't wait to see you get everything sorted out. Have you thought about changing the FET drive for a more powerfull one. Maybe the MOSFET you are using might not be able to switch fast enough. I hope I'm right in one of those .

Thank You,
Finally, with your help, I have something under control. Still need to be armed every time you power it Up but I can live with that for now...
Now back to Frankenstein, updates will follow...

I feel honored. I have to thank you for all the inputs you have given all of us here. So basically you have your awesome controller now? I want one. I'm jealous.

I am not happy with that ESC in general...
Is it operational? Yes and kind of no, I do not like how it works.

Luciano what you would like to do with that "cheap" (not really) ESC?

No comparison to MM neither in price, quality or features. I even put BK on top of it not even mentioning schulze.

Anyone would like to have this combo can shoot me PM, I have spare one.

No, this $85 ESC from e-bay with motor and programming card.

The one which you sent me for MCU transplantation is still in progress. And the ones which you are going to send me I haven't seen yet, unless there are from the same family...

I do have that same $85 one, but the brain board on the one I have is different. I think the brain board on yours is the plane one and you can see them both in some previous pictures. I was having the same issues you are having when I only had the plane controller. Now I'm not sure as well. I could give a crack at it and swap the brain boards myself and if it works out, I'll send it to you to see if you can add an extra board from a 50A controller I have (Same as the 100A, but with one power board). The start up procedure in the $85 controller is the same as my Actronic 120 and it's funny as they say it's to ensure maximum throttle and brake.
