esc for rave on 4's?

[est1976]

I was thinking a 'scorpion commander 45a HV' @ £67 it has a SBEC so no separate bec required.

Micron Radio Control : Scorpion Commander 26V Brushless ESC

can anyone think of a better esc/bec setup for my rave on 4s for less than a £100?

cheers

I use a align trex 500 esc on mine, alot less complicated, and my first and last scorpion was a dud so put me off

[dumb thumb it]

yep my first and last scorpion did 3 spool ups on the bench and thay was it, it had sh@t its self thay arnt good but try kontronic thay cost but last and can be repaired if it ever brakes bomb proof and the gov works sliky smooth power
soft start is very nice too

[est1976]

the kontronic is outta my budget and I've now been put off the scorpion .... so where is my £100 best spent?

[dumb thumb it]

hi

if you give me £120 i will sell you a kontronic 80-6-18 with programing card
you will have to check out if its going to work in your set up m8.

cheers alec

tbh its probably a bit bigger than I need, slightly over budget and really I wanted a new unit.

anyone heard of hacker esc's? are they any good?

[dj propo]

ben not sure but arn't the hackers made by jetti,
i've just bought the rave with scorpion-10, going 4s also, i know curtis uses the thunder power 40amp esc with no separate bec, i was thinking of trying the flighttech 40amp, anyone any thoughts on this

[est1976]

I ordered the tp40 from america but the carraige charges went up by $55 after I had paid already so I cancelled it.

I'm not sure what to get I may just get the scorpion I mentioned on the first post and give it a go!

what about trying something like;
60A Brushless Motor Speed Controller RC ESC Parts YELL on eBay, also Helicopter Parts Accessories, Helicopters, Radio-Controlled, Toys Games (end time 05-May-09 16:30:00 BST)

I know its less than £20 but worth a try before spending big bucks.
Oh and most things we buy are made in the east !

or 80A !

Yep. Go for the trex 500 one. Easy to use and quite light. I to havent had a lot of luck with the scorpion speed controllers

I use a align trex 500 esc on mine, alot less complicated, and my first and last scorpion was a dud so put me off

are you using a seperate BEC with that?

[Steve Ashton]

I have a pair or rave's (just love them so much) One is running on a 60amp Scorpion the other has a 40amp thunder power both have been faultless. Having said that my first Scorpion was dead on arrival and not to happy with their after sales.

[est1976]

well im still looking for an esc, Im not sure on the trex 500 ones as I have heard they they burn out easily a few times now including another one yesterday Im probably going to go for a castle creations one with seperate BEC.

[Brian Gifford]

are you using a seperate BEC with that?

The Align 500 has a built-in BEC, programmable between 5v & 6v.
