Is it operational? Yes and kind of no, I do not like how it works.<o:p></o:p>

Luciano what you would like to do with that "cheap" (not really) ESC?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
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.

The ones that I sent you? Or the ones that you have that I was going to send you?

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.

Another contender....

I contacted the place that makes those. I think you can also check Danlions, they have a car controller as well as those HV100 and HV200 I posted pictures of. I'm still trying to find where they get them from. All those controllers are sold as a kit to them and all they do is add the components they like.

Another contender enters the ring...

This one has a cool little programming box as an optional extra. There are also OPTO version with PC programming, but Im not certain they have brakes, just forwards & reverse (odd...). The site is in german, so I did some translating via Babelfish:

Damn it man, are there any esc manufacturers you havent contacted? :lol:

I like the programming box and PC programming options alot, and the car software seems pretty sound, just going by the description. Only thing you can never tell is how good/ reliable the hardware is- I guess you will find out soon enough...

Get this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/100A-ESC-Brushle...QQcmdZViewItem :lol:, it will be cheaper then the one you found even though it'll come from Canada. Try it out and let me know how it goes. I will also wait to see what the manufacturer will send me and they seem legit as I asked a few questions and all the answers were good.

Haha, I am half tempted by that esc, especially at that price too, but it is only good for 5s lipo.. kinda would like it to be 6s for certain and then it would be a good choice. I wanna see what the RX8 comes out like, or if Novak hurry up with the 6s sensored models (just need proper big sensored motors, no-one makes them anymore for MTs...).

I like the features list, especially line #6

Quote:

"6. Low-Dropout Regulators used for the IC to provide current for BEC. (1A, 2A, 3A)"

Very important parameter when you dropping from Battery Voltage (5S ~25V) down to BEC Voltage :lol:

P.S. How cheap it can get?
Another cool place...
6mm shaft KB46 not 36 motors

You guys know if you to to the website it's even cheaper. I bought a couple controllers from them already, but they were the small airplane ones and I tought they were the one with the car software (I saw the program box and it said for car, but it wasn't). Here is the link: http://www.cnchelicopter.com/servlet...ial-**-/Detail.
