10s car controllers available?

[lutach]

I might have something coming in about 2 weeks, not sure though. The 12S Castle controllers sounds nice. I'm proud to say that I've had the chance to the MGM, BK, Kontronik and Schulze. The Kontroniks are nice, specially the 55-10-32. My BK 3695 was running good, but it burned and they are limited to 2 pole motors and 42000rpm. I'm currently using a Schulze 40.160 in my BPP truggy and you can't go wrong with it, but the price is . If you're not going to be pulling over 60A, get the 55-10-32 and if you look in other forums specially the heli or airplane forums, you can find one fairly cheap.

Do all of the Kontronic 55-10-32 have car software, or only certain models?

Most of the Jazz do have the car mode. The 55-10-32 has it and it does the job.

I'am using a Jazz 55-10-32 and made over 400 runs with 10s1p A123 since i bought it (used it in a buggy and now in a truggy). Very reliable ESC with a max power handling of more then 2.7KW when used with a small heat sink. Eventhough it is rated for max 65A burst, i recorded Amp spikes over 100A. One drawback though. When running on tarmac (high grip) you can sometime notice that the ESC does not perfectly go to freewheeling (very short drop in rpm when releasing throttle). This behavior was more noticeable with a Neu 1515 when compared to a Neu 1512.

The ESC has two car modes. Forward, brake, reverse or only forward and brake.

Have a look at the video in my signature to see it it perform in a 11lbs truggy.

The new Jive ESCs from Kontronik are even more powerfull. They feature an integrated switching BEC (up to 12s) and are waterproof. But they only have one car mode: forward with brake.

I can live without reverse. Any good place to buy Kontronics?

These guys don't have them in yet (the HV versions) and say the 12s controllers are opto
