ESC info

[BIGDADDYV]

I was shown this on Ebay by a friend and was wondering if anyone has, had seen or run one of these .... Maybe a possible manufacturer too ..... for 100.00 bucks its at least worth looking into I guess .... So lets hear some info on it ....

Thanks for any input folks ...... BIG V

I would probably steer clear of those cheaper ESC's...

[BIGDADDYV]

that was my plan to be honest i just waned to know if anyone has had any experince with them ... Who knows someones unnamed stuff could be the next SUPER ROOSTER .... Never hurts to check stuff out I guess ..... ;)

[Eli the rc guy]

Yeah, but if I was to test it I wouldn't.

Bigdaddyv... looking at the specs it looks pretty good, unfortunately.. I don't know who the manufacturer is so can the specs be trusted? If there is a problem, who will fix it.. I'm looking for a dual motor esc for my boat.. but looking at 10 turn dual with 7-8 cells... want to take the brushless out because of the lack of warranty if it gets any moisture.. (Novak is very picky with warranty claims).. besides... too fast in the traxxas villian IV... Boat wants to get airborne...

[BIGDADDYV]

I agree .. those things are fast enough ..... I saw the ESC on Ebay and figured I would ask around .... I donthave the spare cash for it anyways .... LOL but i guess it never hurts to ask either ;)

[cenracer1]

You should see this thing.... jumps out of the water as soon as prop hooks up, standing almost straight up... kind of like some of your trucks..LOL....

[BIGDADDYV]

FUnny but in a few weeks me and my trucks will be in Jersey .... Jumpin and hopping and scootin up and down the Parkway .. LOL.....

[cenracer1]

where are you going?... anything good?

[BIGDADDYV]

I will be in the Linden area where i was born and raised ...... Be there for a few days with the family but i always bring my gear because the family thing gets all sorts of chaotic after an hour or so..... Where ya at ??? Wanna drag race :D ... j/k

[cenracer1]

sure... boats or cars????? If cars, I'll bring the brushless 4-tec or the Baja 5B.. the Baja would be more fun especially if I get behind you... can you say "Speed Bump"..LOL
I'm not stupid enough to drag race your bike... I saw it on another thread.. I'm impressed and jealous at the same time... :eek:

[NIdaho Mudder]

Hey cenracer i seen his pede you dont wanna drag it either!!! Its like a roadrunner on crack

[BIGDADDYV]

Hey Cen I think you B5 tops out at roughly 40 if I am not mistaken ... I think I would take that race against the Pede .... My Pedeis what we call and extrax speacial kinda stupid ...... ;)

[cenracer1]

A bit more than 40, with the larger engine and pipe... what do you have in that pede? I have the 4 tec with the velocity 4.5 for the time but will probably get the 3.5 guts and put that in... maybe sees around 50 or so.. I don't gear crazy on this one...I'm not sure if the belts can handle anything more...

[BIGDADDYV]

Its just all pieced together junk ...... LOL ... My pede is nothing special .. Just sometimes folks make a big deal out of it is all ........ BTW junk that 4tec and buy my tc3 ...... Now theres a TC if ya ever drove one ;) No belts = GOOD TIMES ..... lol

BTW are you close to where i am gonna be ???? LMK and maybe we can set up a race or bash or somepin .....

[cenracer1]

BigdaddyV... Linden is on the other side of the state from me.. I'm closer to Island Dragway in Great Meadows, Warren cty New Jersey... Not to far from you I think....

[BIGDADDYV]

yepp your too far from where I live now . Maybe an hour and fortyfive from me ..

[cenracer1]

Oh well... maybe someday we'll work out the logistics... always looking for new people to run with...
