Anyway... I read some older posts on over here about Schulze. Some said (Lutach, Serum) these Controllers like to burn up.
- Does somebody already know why these burnt? Too long wires, bad connections, overgearing?
I also read that Schulze's service isn't that good. But these posts are from 2007/2008.
- How is Schulze's service at this time?
The manual of the 18.97 sucks imo. They say something about an BEC.
- Do I need an UBEC for this ESC?
Oh... and if you guys got any tips for me on this ESC, I would like to hear it  |
I didn't say they like to burn up....Mine actually burned up. How it happened was funny too. My truggy went on a slide, started rolling backwards, I gave it some throttle to move it forward again, it stopped and massive amount of smoke started coming out. Funny, it hasn't happened to any other controller even a smaller 60A Schulze I used after that happened.
Arct1k is right and I hope it doesn't happen to you. Do what they are telling you, but if something does happen after you've done all of it, contact Mr. Schulze to see if he'll blame you for it.
