Infinite 1/5 scale 10s ESC @ 120A?
 

Was wondering if anyone had tried this yet? http://www.okhobby.com/product.php?id_product=1222

no but i think i will get something from them tho

Looks like the Kershaw Designs motor/esc combo
Motor
and
ESC
$330 for the KD combo, $180 for the OKHobby. :lol:
It doesn't look too bad, but I'll be waiting for the Castle 5th scale.

i'm about 100% sure or at least close to that, thats its the same gear. i have the 160amp esc and its working fine.

How many poles do the Neu/Castle motors have? IE 1515, 1520 etc.

And yeah, it looks identical to Mr. Kershaw's stuff. If I were to buy one of them, I would definately buy from OKhobby.

Thats because its all rebadged Chinese made products.

The Castle and Neu 15-series motors are 4-pole. Some of the OK Hobby motors are also 4-pole. I have one of the OK Hobby 4363 (basically 1512 size in Neu/Castle spec) in my buggy right now. Works better than a 2-pole 540 L or XL size motor, but still runs hotter than a Castle or Neu.

Going to order the 1/5 scale combo and a 1/18 combo (And a Savage Conversion kit.). Hope it works well. :)

I asked the OKhobby Customer Service (Who else do I ask?) how much wattage the 1/5 motors produced. The lady who replied under 4000 continous, which sounds about right, but also 4000 max? That sound a bit weird?

Is this rebadged Kershaw stuff, or is it the SAME as what Kershaw is selling? There's only a somewhat minor price difference (Compared to other rebadged stuff.), as they are both pretty cheap (Relatively), so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same stuff.

Anyways, I received the 1/5 combo and 1/18 combo along with the Savage conversion kit today. Will hopefully get to try it out this weekend, will start with 6s on the 1/5.

It took the package around 5 weeks from ordering to delivery. Was in shipping for about 3-4 weeks. That's really slow IMO. I live in Norway, by the way.

What conversion did you order for the savage, the OK-hobby one or the KD 1/6-scale conversion? IMO the OK-version looks like it takes only 36mm can motors in the pics.

Are you going to try and find out if the 1/5 combo can drive a baja 5b etc. around at a decent speed? A 1/6 scale savage is so in another weight class.

Nope, just gonna see if the combo works with 10s eventually, in a random car. Don't have a 1/5 scale. Savage conversion is from OKhobby yes.

Quite curious how the 1/5th ESC works :)

As far as I can tell its the cheapest car ESC out there which will run up to 10s (if it can run it in reallity that is :)

Keep us posted!

Any updates on the ESC? I'd like to run 8s in my Savage and the Mamba XL still needs work.

Hey DJ!

Hows the weather in Norway? Any update on this ESC? :)

Nice and sunny. :P I've finally got a car to put it in now, and just need a motor mount. Will probably just do a temporary L mount bracket. Got a lot of small projects so I haven't really gotten around to it yet

remember this isnt rebadged kershaw stuff...

Kershaw put their name on this existing product!

WE NEED UPDATES.... PLEASE! :lol:

I just finished building a chassis for a truggy I'm planning on putting the combo in. Will try to make the motor mount later. Got some heavy duty L shaped aluminium. The truggy only has 2 gear diffs though so I hope they can take it. I'm planning on putting a 8s battery in there.

I dont know what think about this combo ............ is very cheap for the specs ........ and my experience about the cheap speed controllers is no good :P


this motor is extremely big ......¿which is the real weight of the motor?
¿is 2 or 4 pole?
¿the diameter without the heatsinks?
¿please is possible show any detailed photos of your combo?


thanks :yes:

¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿????????????

Going to order an 8s battery on Tuesday from HK, so I hope to test it within the next week.

I believe it is 2 poles, max watts is around 4000-5000, diameter without the heatsink is 40mm. Not sure about the rest you asked me.

the difference of the 2 or 4 pole motors is big ....... the 2 pole are very easy to turn and are very soft ........ the 4 pole the oposite ..... is hard to turn the rotor and have small pulls all time when you turn .....

Any updates on this speed controller ? its been a while.
