This is an e-mail I just got from Georges:

"For safety reason, we have removed the reverse function in the present line of 50V series esc, so it will not be suitable for use on cars,

We will be working on a new CPU for the future generation of scorpion ESC’s, but I think this is going to take at least a year to develop, so I’m sorry to tell you we will not have a car esc in the next 12 months to come."

Please do keep us posted on how your ESC does.

I'll find out as soon as my motor arrives....

Even though it doesn't have reverse, why can't it be used on cars? It will still have brakes, right?

I like the heatsink design. Are you going to take it apart and snap pics for us?

[BL_RV0]

Very eager to hear tests about the ESC. I really like the compact design. Do you know what the price will be? Like $300-400?

looks like THE BEST mounting esc ive ever seen. dunno why castle couldnt have thought of something with tabs. o well, velcro and zip ties :)

Wow that is suppose to be English? That esc is huge it looks awesome. that sucks about the brakes though, but oh well.

Maybe they changed the brakes to make it work with the unit he has. I thought mine had proportional brakes but it didn't. It brakes good though.

I give it a try, it says more or less:

"switched on the transmitter, connected a battery pack and got a greeting beep, so let's go. good acceleration, but it doesen't accelarate with full power from the beginning, but after a few meters, full power, which is good for the gears. very smooth brakes until the full stop. then throttle to neutral and backwards, no cogging or so.

during the drive some small problems, we will see which settings have to be changed. the temperature of the esc was 46 degrees, motor 56, at 17 degrees outdoor temperature."

sound pretty good to me, the breaks seem to work for cars,

Awesome, it's good news that it works good.
