They look like 3.5mm to me, unless Schulze came out with a bigger plug that looks exactly like the 3.5mm ones.

It's not a problem that they go up in smoke, the problem is their worthless after-sales once it is smoked (wouldn't dare to call it anything near service) With all respect; their loose contact arguement is getting old..

You could see this coming i guess, after stating that they don't go up in smore more easily than others..

Still even with all of that said you can bet that we will see one on here at some point mounted on a Maxx or a Revo with a very large AXI motor or something like that under the hood. Man just cannot resist a challenge like that. Someone will do it.

I owned two Shulze's. I had two ESCs that broke within 5 minutes of using them. I had to wait over 3 months for service, only to get them back and have the optocouple fail again on both. My experience with them was not good.

hi

if i was sitting in the US i would probably also buy parts where i could deal with warranty etc in the country itself.
however if two esc burn within 5min there is a very high probability that something was wrong on principle basis. technical problem or something else.
i for myself and some rc colleagues here have made quite good experience with serveral schulzes.

but i guess its not about our schulze experiences here its just an announcement of some new product that will come out in some month.

It's not bad to discuss this schulze warrantee here. They simple sucked at it. No way around it. Since they are in Germany that was a reason for me to buy it; it's relative close. Back then it was wrong choice for sure. They treated me bad and pretty much called me a liar.

To be honest, i can't believe their service still is that bad, like it was 3 or 4 years ago, perhaps you have got better experiences with warrantee claims over the time?

[Serum]

Come to think about it; I bought a schulze receiver 1 year back; at a certain point channel 1 stopped functioning. Sent it back, needed to pay 17 euro for repair costs. The thing was a few months old. I guess they still don't get it

[rhylsadar]

my experience is not too bad. two times we sent an esc in for 'service'.
it came back like new and it the cost was something like 50euro with shipping.
for my burned one i could buy a new one with 30% off. it was my fault the esc went up in smoke, because the tranny was nearly blocked because i made a mistake in the hurry i was fixing the center tranny it in the pit. full throttle with a hard tranny in the summer was too much. my guess is that many of the burned 18.97kw in those days, some years ago, were due to a too long gearing with the bigmaxximum (savages fixed in 2nd gear etc). by then we were not so experienced. by now motors with lower rpmv are used in the big trucks than the bigmaxxium. the big maxximum cannot be geared very long its too high rpmv. those who were driving the bigmaxx with the tranny locked in 1st gear never had heat issues. however i agree that they are not very 'nice' in e mail contacts there.


i see that castle for instance is very accomodating in replacing burned esc etc. however i guess in many cases the users can just be lucky because i am quite sure that many failures are due to a wrong handling of the esc. but who knows. i may be wrong.

however my target is to avoid warranty issues at all. so actually i do not care that much about it.

they did metal. they are schulze 6mm plugs.

[MetalMan]

Damn, if those plugs are 6mm, then that ESC is more than huge, it's GIGANTIC! It's about 6" x 4" by 1.5". That's bigger than a lot of the batteries we use.

I'm curious why Schulze decided to basically enlarge their 3.5mm connector, when there were issues with the design on their previous ESCs.

LOL! you could take your entire family on holiday and loose eachother on it..
