Cheap "high voltage" esc Quest

[snellemin]

Yes it does have brakes. My 5yr old was using it with a 8T feigao and was clocked at 37mph doing his speedruns with the frankenrusto. I put back his 12T little hacker as the esc runs way cooler. The ESC has a delay between a stop to going again.

What are you having done to the Jazz40?

I'll be addind a new MOSFET to it. It is the same SO8 footprint, but packs a punch for such a little guy. I have also designed a new capacitor bank for ESC, that should be good as well. I will wait though to see if all the components will get here. The factory told me 14 weeks lead time for the FETs.

So, higher amp and/or voltage handling?

Higher AMP for sure. I asked the factory for a few other models and if they send them to me I'll be happy.

I do not know guys, but whoever wrote this firmware was really up for something...

I was unable to sync Jammin's ESC to anything at all, just blinking LED no beeps no nothing, but I do have brakes :)

Opened unit number 2 and it beeps, spins and does whatever it wants but none of what I expecting to see...

Is it possible to set it all? I ditched everything and start playing with Traxxas transmitter (what can be simpler), trying to reverse channel, 30/70, 50/50 splits it just doesn't make sense. I guess I will try next weekend, what a bummer.

Maybe that brain board is for the aircraft controller. I know some of the car controllers found in the forum and the one I have, the brain board is red in color and the aircraft one is green and you can see them in the pictures I posted. Do you have the program box? You can also try and calibrate the controller. Try one of the following:

1. --no need to set up Throttle itinerary ---- startup process

pull throttle into the lowest position -- → ESC power connecting → Detect and get throttle signal one beep tone "beep" → 3 seconds delay → detected throttle lowest position → one beep tone "beep" again → can start throttle Moved.( start flying). this step total beep twice . there had light on ESC when each beep tone .


If not detected throttle signal, "beep, beep and beep ... " continued beep tones are emitted.

If the battery voltage exceeds voltage, "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP ." continued beep tones are emitted. the beep tone

pause for a bit longer,Under such circumstances, ESC refused to start motor.

2.need to set up Throttle itinerary ---- startup process


pull throttle to the highest position -- → ESC power connecting → Detect and get throttle signal one beep tone "beep" → detected maximum throttle position, "beep" tone is emitted (one beep tone) → then pull to the lowest throttle position → 3 seconds of delay → "beep" tone is emitted once, Detected the lowest throttle position → can start lifting the throttle. three beep tone is emitted .

Note : This method set up the throttle itinerary is not saved. throttle itinerary can be set up and saved permanently by our programm card.

BTW your powerboard looks awesome. I can't wait to see you get everything sorted out. Have you thought about changing the FET drive for a more powerfull one. Maybe the MOSFET you are using might not be able to switch fast enough. I hope I'm right in one of those .

Thank You,
Finally, with your help, I have something under control. Still need to be armed every time you power it Up but I can live with that for now...
Now back to Frankenstein, updates will follow...

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.

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:

Overdrive Racing Brushless automatic controller Rocket XC 100A Rocket XC 100A - for car and airplane The phantom & Rocket XC Brushless series of Overdrive Racing makes the entrance possible into the Brushless world to an unbeatable price performance ratio.

Description of article Rocket XC 100A:

Brushless automatic controller of the top class from the Rocket XC series with overheating & Low-voltage protection.
Driving option: Only forward/forwardbackwards.
Different starting options of gentle starting on loose underground up to the power start with much Gripp.
Different brake functions of more easily ABS brake to hard Vollbremsung up to the stop. Akkuschutz by low-voltage option, in this option can select you of 0,0 - 49.9 V whether the automatic controller switches or the achievement off reduced.
Adjustable middle gas range of 0-29%.
In 3 stages adjustable timing.
PWM frequency: 13KHz and 8KHz.
Adjustable automatic controller speed (constant speed) only in the switchable flying operation.
Attitude gas relationship for forward and backwards.
Type of model: RC car or flight Programmable by remote control or that particularly for it developed electronic program box with LCD display.

(Program box is not contained in the scope of supply) We recommend very easy and fast programming by program box. (You find the program box in our shop) Also for flight models applicably.

Heres the OPTO version, with a screen shot of the programming interface:

I actually contacted the manufacturer of those and they will make a 6S and a 10S for me to try out and see if it'll work with different types of motors. They should be ready soon as I was told it should take at least a month.

[suicideneil]

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

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...

I have to contact any manufacturer that uses electronic components to keep my daughter happy . Here is what you can do for us for the time being . Get this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/100A-ESC-Brushle...QQcmdZViewItem , 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.
