Hi All,
Newbie here for some guidance if possible please.
I'm building one of those crazy Cross RC XX 10 T-Rex 10 wheel jobbies and I'm a bit in the dark about what ESC/BEC/UBECs to use. I believe the system needs 10amps and it will be running dual brushless motors of around 1650kv each. Also two large scale 60kg servos and a normal servo for gear change.
I think I'm right in saying that there are combined ESC/BEC units - are these recommended for my purpose? Disadvantages over split ESC and UBEC/BEC?
I don't know the forum rules about this but are there any brands to err towards or away from? I can't go all in on this but I don't want to buy cheap stuff. If I were to look at Hobbywing gear what ESC/BEC/UBEC would you guys recommend? At least that gives me a reference of what to look for. Same with servos - what's a decent, reliable brand?
Any recommendations or advice greatly appreciated, especially for gear available in Europe.
If anyone's thinking "why on earth is he building that when he clearly doesn't know what he's doing" - you'd be right! But I'd still have the same lack of knowledge if it only had 4 wheels, so please forgive my ignorance. It's been a couple of decades since I last built an RC!
Thanks everyone,
Paul
