Cheap "high voltage" esc Quest

[sleebus.jones]

The seller says they are in Hacienda Heights, California. I'm about 30 miles from there currently. A field trip might be in order. :)

Edit: Lutach, I see you had a problem setting it to car mode? Did you see this here:

http://www.xmseller.com/escprogrammcardmenu/

Looks like it's supposed be be usable for car mode there. I might give them a call and find out, since they're close. Apparently they're a hobby shop somewhere in LA, which I'll be close to for another 3 weeks or so.

That looks like the same 1 I linked to before,but the link doesn't work. Like this .http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...248309623&rd=1 I'd like to see if they'd work,I think you could put a big enough fan on it.

i have bought my self one of this kit´s for my e-maxx...
if the motor will be enough for the truck i don´t know but it values de price because de esc and program card...

now my doubt is if the motor can handle my 2 cells 8.4v 4300 nimh´s connect in serie or paralel.....
or should i try first with one or buy a 4s lipo?since they say the motor handle 15v...

regards

Yes, but when I bought the little ESC, it wasn't the car AD model. I do have the big 120A one and it did kind of OK, but I don't like how we have to set up minimum throttle everytime we power up. I will try it again to see how it does with a 2 pole motor.

Sleebus bought the motor from me. He can tell you how it behaves in his buggy.

When I still had it, it ran fine on 4S A123. Tons of torque.

[sleebus.jones]

I run it on 3S A123 and it's a great motor. Lots of torque and very smooth. I like it.

it´s a risk a will take to put this motor in a e-maxx but if i went the single vxl setup will take the same risk...
let´s see if it handle 14 cells nimh´s!!

thank´s for tell me about the motor!!
and the esc is handle good even with other motors??

regards

[sleebus.jones]

Yes, the mamba works fine with other motors.

Did anyone see the true rc one yet? Is this the ebay one?http://home.comcast.net/~truerc/esc/escNmotor.htm Scroll down to the very bottom.

Hmmm that looks the same as the one being sold on EBAY.....too bad for the price program module was not included...or did I misread it?

It is the exact same one. I still can't believe they are being sold for $100 withou the program box. If I started bringing this in, I would just sell it for $100 with the program box. Plus I would have full report with video and data to show how well it does with different motors, plus charge a very low s/h.

I am only able to run low kv motors on mine. It handles 4s A123 well. I had to swap out 2 fets and replace the caps on mine, after I blew it running with a different motor. It has worked ever since though.

I don't have one yet. I said "If I started bringing them in". I spoke with the manufacturer and they are supposed to be sending me a 6S and a 10S model for testing.
