What Esc That Can Start At 17.5t Class But Will Last Right Upto 4.5 Or Lower

[fatboyneil]

Basically as title guys I'm searching for a good esc to start with that will last as I learn as I've just got my first touring car in thirty years I went for the Durango detc410 as it was cheap

Quite apart from why the hell would you run a 4.5t you've got several options. Most top end esc's can do blinky, boost and low wind motors, so something like a Hobbywing Xerun 3.1 would do what you want. If that can, the HPI Flux Pro and Orion R10 Pro can too. Then you've got the Much Moore Fleta, Lrp Flow/Nosram Comet, Tekin RSX.....

Thanks I was looking at a few and just started to get baffled especially with the brca rules thing is I was looking at the turnigy trackstar brca approved one here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__33973__Trackstar_GenII_120A_1_10th_Scale_Sensored_Brushless_Car_ESC_ROAR_BRCA_approved_.html

But as even I've said buy cheap buy twice then I saw the speed passion revention pro and I can get that for

[Tamiyacowboy]

maybe brushless ? 

 

go a mamba then your open to a range of cans and turns/kv 

its going to drive like its on rails when your find your sweetspot tuning so may as well power it with 

brca reg brushless

[Si Coe]

Reventons don't seem that reliable. Turnigys even less so but then they are super cheap. The latest LRP's aren't up to much.

 

MB Models have the GM Genius 120 going for

That's the job thanks Si Coe and sorry tamiyacowboy but but mamba to me is like something Jeremy clarkson would go for just insane power and speed and unreliable

[Si Coe]

GM's really are good esc's and you can get used ones super cheap on ebay - though at

[fatboyneil]

Thanks Si Coe but as its a bigger footprint and the sensor cable being gm specific I think I'll miss that one I was going for the lrp flow but that is the old style button press system for programming I think there's no mention of program box anywhere the only two contenders I think are the hobbywing or the Orion 10.1. Are there any others I should consider and it's a pity nobody rate the speed passion as I could get that cheap at

[Tamiyacowboy]

Tekin does a gen2 very low turn motor esc ( brushless) to what i remember.

 

otherwise its a Novak rooster  ( they dont have a turn limit and if it does its ultra low like 3.5t)

 

rooster is an old esc, the tekin ( dont know if they still going ) is kinda newish.

I've been using the Speed Passion Reventon Pro 1.1 for about a year and I love it.  I've not had a problem with it.

 

Before that I had the Reventon R and that was also a good ESC.

 

The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that you have to connect it to a PC to change the boost settings.  You can change most settings from the included program card but not boost.

What about the SkyRC Toro TS160?

Hi FB got a Hacktronic esc and program box and 8.5 turn motor motor wise 13.5 turn for you, I could do with selling the combo you can change the software on it, esc is new

[fatboyneil]

Thanks jony nitro but after needing some parts from Hong Kong I thought why not get the cheap speed passion revention pro the only other one I looked at was the Orion vortex 10.1 and that was stupid money even from China the whole combo that's

[jony nitro]

Ok

[fatboyneil]

Already sorted that one thanks pathaleon though even if I do get stung the total value would be less than what I'd pay here

My Tekin RS Pro has been a reliable ESC, the only one I've ever needed since brushless came out 

 

But the most it's seen is a 13.5 boosted.

[PurcyP]

best ESC ive had was a muchmore fleta pro

 

brutally good ESC, paired it with a 13.5t reedy mach 2 and no one could believe how quick it was, at chippenham i was getting comments at how people were finishing coming off boost on the straight as im starting it and i end up catching them, stupid quick. 

 

Also ran 4.5t novak on it with the worst gearing ever and the ESC peaked at 118 degrees C ..and it was fine lmao 

[ta05]

Hbbywing XERUN is cheap and rated to 4.5 iirc
