Cheap "high voltage" esc Quest

[lutach]

The MGM 16018-3 handles up to 6S lipos and up to 18NC cells. Now the controllers I posted pics of also handle up to 18NC cells, but it handles up to 5S lipos. Can those controllers actually handle 6S like the MGM?

[snellemin]

Dunno man. But 5s would be the max I would put through mine. Maybe if I upgraded all the fets it would do 6s. I might try it out in the rustler that has 6s A123, and use small gearing with 3750kv hacker.

Any updates? I just ordered 2 of these escs with a programing card. I'll put them through their paces when i receive them.

Last saturday I was running 4s A123 with the ESC untill the cells dumped. Nothing happend and there was plenty of power on tap.

[triggeraa]

Thats good news. Thanks. I will be running 4S. Did you use external BEC?

Ok so from what im reading this is a good alternative for a basher on a budget? Im pretty decent at soldering SMT and through hole so im wondering if any of you have a list of mods that i could do to beef this up, and run this in an emaxx or possibly a rustler.

We have listed a few MOSFETs that would do good and you might also want to change the capacitors. I'm waiting for GriffinRU to let me know if a MCU swap was successful and after that I will ask him to swap brain boards with another controller I have that seems to use the same board as the car controller. Pictures can be found in this thread.

[snellemin]

Nope, just the internal bec.

[snellemin]

The caps are the first thing I would replace on that controller.

I will try the controller stock as I don't plan on running more than 4S.

I recognize them- Modelfun. There is/was a cmpany on fleebay selling them, but they have had serp stock for a while- they are proper car/truck escs though, with good specs too....
