Re: Decent affordable esc
Buzzy,
Ya need to give us more info. Brushed or Brushless motor, and whats it driving transmission-wise, and the chassis? single, dual, 6x6 or 8x8, and if you blew it pulling a trailer or hauling a load, weight of the beastie loaded. And your setup... as I've mentioned in other threads, using a separate Rx pack without disconnecting the power lead between Rx and ESC is usually fatal to one or both devices. WhiteWolf, - not the most knowledgable, but knowing some of the tricks... |

Re: Decent affordable esc
Ok sorry, and I shorted it out doing nothing to do with normal use, I just accidentally connected 2 pins together on the receiver while I was trying a proof of concept, now the esc light doesn't light up so I'm hoping its just the esc.
Any way, I've got an r620 stock apart from a brushed 55t motor and rc4wd r2 2 speed transmission, and I will be hauling an izzy built live bottom trailer soon And the setup is battery to esc to receiver. Thanks for the help, buzzy |

Re: Decent affordable esc
i use three type and never gone wrong with them, on all my rides .
1. castle creations sidewinder v2 (not the sc2 only runs 7.4vlipo) i run one in my excavator and in my tamiya hilux and pajero 2. dyaminte tazer lipo. only runs 7.4v but have ran 11.1 batterys on it if you a bec i run one in my man work truck and in my dump trailer . 3. dymaite fuze brushless ecs. i got these in my two touring cars and in my scania new to me but they work great and easy to set up. i also run bec's in my trucks so so i can take some of the strain off the esc when running alot of servos, or pulling someting heavy . i've also have a mamba,25 that gets used time time for little things, its so old its crazy but the ting stilll works fine. and i've had good luc with lrp esc's i don't like tamiya speed controllers fine if you just run a sivler can with no load . also had tons of novaks esc's but they are kind of pricey |

Re: Decent affordable esc
The Tekin FXR is a great choice. I've got two of them myself. I like their small footprint, and they are plenty capable of running just about anything.
