Leo Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Haven't these been around for a while? Anyone tried one? I've had one for a while, but I haven't used it yet. Still not sure if I want to convert my Baja. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've had one for a while, but I haven't used it yet. Still not sure if I want to convert my Baja. Build a second Baja over a long period? It'd make for a cracking project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 looks ok I don't know if anyone else has noticed how ESCs from different manufacturers will make their own unique sound? Castle in particular produces a very distinctive "ring" from whatever motor you connect to it. This offering from Toro mimics that "ring" exactly, not just the start up beeps, but the sound the motor makes on the fly. Cloned internals?

sean-vrs Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 there are opinions on the net that suggest the 780kv motor is a castle clone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I had one of these esc's, was faulty so had to send it back, unfortunately seller didn't have one in stock so got refund and bought an alien esc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 there are opinions on the net that suggest the 780kv motor is a castle clone It wouldn't surprise me in the least! Make the can look slightly different and you'd easily get away with an exact copy of the internals, after all they all look pretty much the same inside. It comes down to choice of materials and construction process that sets the top flight gear from the pap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 its the 350amp version, yes very pleased so far, had a lot of help from Bruno setting it up, its in a mcd monster truck with a tp motor, only problem was mounting it, I got Bruno to tap some holes in bottom of esc, then mount it above motor, but is solid, sorry cant do pics or "quote" on this forum. I can on other forums though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can on other forums though I've got the 12S, 300 Amp version. Happy so far except for the lack of mounting holes/lugs. It's in my Baja running 10S and mated to a Leopard 58110, 520kv motor. All good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saviown Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 sorry, tp is quicker, couldn't keep front end down at any point of acceleration, castle didn't do that both on 8s, had tp off ground on 12s with alien, think somethings gonna break transmission wise, if not it will when I put a bigger tp in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
