introducing new 1/8 120a car esc

[florianz]

hi,

I just have received my nev bl car esc. It's named "Jamara Flash 3000", and I'm pretty sure that the new controller of Graupner "genius 120r" is the same esc, just with a programming card included.

Maybe sooner or later you get a similar esc in the us, as they're made in China. It is a budget esc, capable for 120a continous and 150 burst. At the moment they are both available here in Germany, the Jamara for about 130 usd, the Graupner for about 185 usd.

built in:




There are 18 fets on both sides. the esc comes with a built in sbec.
The case is made of metal, that's good for cooling purposes.

There are 3 330 caps, could be more in my point of view.

Cables are 12 awg.

Car is my "frankenstein's ride" hyper 7, unbreakable... because of concentrating on that brand new esc, I didn't see that tree...

As for the settings, it has basic functions like drag brake, brake, start power, reverse etc. during the first ride, it was all ok, have to play with the break settings.

Overall quality is good so far.

the fan is acutally the wrong one, it's a 12v one, on 5v that's poor. changed the fan with a better one, and connectet it with the batteries. Or you have a 5v fan.

the temperatures have been around 35 degrees c/95 f after 10 on grass. almost no cogging, I was driving with low timing, as I have a four pole motor, medium would be better. startup is smooth, as you can see in the vids.

I hope tomorrow the wheather is getting better, so I can give you some more details on the esc.
