Astro makes some high quality motors at decent prices, but you can get bicycle hub motors for pretty cheap too. Run them stockmonkey style and you would have a cheap setup.

Yeah, brushless. Astro 3210 or 3220 motors can be found at astroflight.com. Pretty big "rc" style motors, industrial construction.
Search google for "9c electric bike" to get a bunch of relevant info regarding hub motors. The 9c is a popular motor that is priced very low right now, one of the best values on the market for power : cost ratio. |
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm keeping an eye out on Craigslist for a go kart or small 4 wheeler with a bad engine to convert.
|
It would be cool to convert this to bl power.

I would like to see an option on the car software to turn the motor braking off and just run mech brakes. Especially in a 1/5 scale car. What do you guys think??
|
there is ........... just set the brakeing to 0, you can do that on any mamba car esc
or set the prop folding value to 0 on an airplane esc |
updates?
|
I read somewhere that Patrick was in China so I don't think there will be any updates the next week or so.
Even if they have just begun testing and early results are good, R&D takes time so I personally wouldn't think we will see something the next 3+ months. I'm guessing here but it would surprise me. |

Patrick has a knack for surprising us in a good way! :yes: |
Hi Patrick,
I see you guys are working on a lot of new exciting stuff. The new 1512, a 1717, and 2025 motors look very promising and so does this new ESC with car software. Are you making any progress? Normally you are far better at sharing info on upcoming products so I thought I might ask ;) |

Any updates yet? |
Patrick, now that the holidays are behind us, and the new year is in full swing have you had a chance to do any further work/testing with the ICE160?
|
I cant wait for this controller to be available.

Thanks for the update. |
DITTO, I can do 8s or 10s in a EREVO.
PICK ME, PICK ME, PICK ME !!!!!! |
i can do 12s in a 1/8 10lb brushless CEN Matrix.
pick me! lol. i've had pretty good luck with my MMM escs and i would be more than happy to beta test a 12s esc on my buggy. i would even be willing to buy an eagle tree data logger if i was picked as a beta tester. |

Patrick if their is any way possible I could try one of these please let me know. My race season starts next weekend. I would like to run this controller in my Truggy, MT and 1/8th buggy as well this year.
|

I exchanged emails with a rep for Castle last week or so (don't remember whom it was) and it seems we have a bit of a wait yet :neutral:
I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait tho !! :yes: |

Will this be a firmware upgrade? Meaning can I buy the ICE and have it installed and ready then just USB the new firmware in when its avalable?

In the earlier part of this thread he said it might can be just an update, but till testing is done they won't know if there will be any need for hardware updates

The real issue is braking energy. If the Phx-ICE design is tough enough for braking energies (it wasn't designed to be a car controller!) then we won't need to update hardware. If we run into braking issues, we may have to tweak the design a bit, or add some external hardware. |
