That was for lutach mainly........



Now back to the CC show!

I'm cool with it. My lawyer actually said I can stop HW's product from being sold here in the USA when HW admitted they liked my ideas in a MSN messenger chat lol. I'm not a lawyer and I have no clue if it's true, but it's a good thing I save all my MSN chats I have lol. Now all the good ideas are stored in a safe place.

Any sensored motors coming out?

I was wondering the same, although it seems there is already a plethora on the market.

Sensored motors would be nice to offer....

Btw, I'm not big on apples, but I like those!!

3 things that would make me buy a mamba pro, in adition to my RX8...
1. push button programing, simaler to the sphere or tekin, I can't stand the RX/TX programing...
2. a FUSE!!! have something simple that will blow before the whole esc goes, saves you $$, saves us $$
3. user replaceable switch/servo leads without voiding the warrenty

2: I think fuses have been discussed to death, and it was decided a fuse that blows fast enough to protect anything is impossible or highly impractical, else theyd be commonplace on all escs.

I agree. It would be nice to have some sort of catastrophic failure prevention, but how is a fuse to know if the current being pulled is "bad" (ESC failure) or simply a motor? After all, the currents are about the same.

I think that all these new controllers hitting the market are great and gives us choices. It also creates some competitiona nd will hopefully keep everyone in check to prevent absurd prices. However as it has been mentioned many times, I would like to see a handheld programmer. Even if it cost $100, it's still cheaper and easier than carrying a laptop to the track, I think $50-75 would be a more marketable price point though.

Smaller footprint will be nice and external caps are no problem.

[himalaya]

Fuses are not likely to work here. Any fuse has internal resistance, say 1mΩ, that's really a tiny resistance, but under 100A current(pretty normal for RC app) this tiny resistance generates 10W heat!

So where is the 6-pin sensor port? no clue on your pic.

[shaunjohnson]

i dont care if that wasnt working properly...it is a magic piece of work!!
i reckon what you guys do is great....gawd knows what will happen when you guys make the first 1:1 scale car controller for electric 1:1 converts...i know i'll be first to buy one

probably on a seperate circuit board im guessing - i think that one is just the brains no fets on it either. (im not good at recognizing components though, probably does have fets and i just think they look different :p)

Yeah, the sensor connector is on the main FET board - -the picture is just of the "brain" board (we call it the "control" board.)

Might be on the other side of the PCB.
