can u use any moto with thi esc like a toy car motor
 Haydz 117 points
Rayan. These are for planes, as the throttle only spins one way unless you actually switch the motor wires. There is no forward/reverse function. Hope this helps. Haydz.
 Gerry01 2912 points
Only if your toy has a brushkess 3 phase motor. If you have a brushed, 2 wire DC motor, no, you need to look for a "brushed ESC", there are 20A and 30A versions here in HK.

can some tell me what kind of connectors come on these low amp speed controllers. I bought some two cell lipo batteries and they have very small connectors that will not plug into my 30 amp speed controllers. the picture does not show the connectors
 Haydz 117 points
You can put whichever you what due to them not coming with any connectors except the standard ESC connecter.
 FoamEater 57 points
They have no connectors attached but the ones below will be good for any motor and battery suitable to this ESC. As for the very small connectors you mentioned on your batteries. I think they may be the red JST connectors. For the motor 3 pairs of these plus shrink wrap to prevent shorting: www.link For the battery end, 1 of these and www.link
 FoamEater 57 points
The link does not appear so here's the description. Battery end of ESC: Female JST battery pigtail 12cm Motor end of ESC: 2mm Gold Connectors 10 pairs Heat shrink insulation to prevent shorting: Turnigy 3mm Heat Shrink Tube Hope this helps

hello all im building a balsa guillows rubber band air plane to convert to R/C,it has a 20 inch wing span.wanted to use for 3ch flight nothing crazy would this esc be the way to go?any ideas on a good size motor and prop to pair it with for a model like this?
 Haydz 117 points
Christopher. I'd recommend a 2000- 2400kv motor, about 4inch prop with the 6amp ESC (8would be excess) 2s lipo about 260amh. Warning this would be quite fast so you may need to trim the throttle down Hope this helps. Regards Hayden.

Connect all three wires to the esc. It doesn't matter what color they are between the motor and esc. You only need to reverse any two of the wires to change the motor direction.. hope this helps. Mike

When it comes to motor/esc color doesn't matter. If motor runs in reverse, just switch two of the wires and the motor will turn the other direction. They aren't like servo wires were you have a positive/negative/signal.

hi guys, do you know any connector for esc to motor or battery? so we don't have to solder it, and can easily change the battery or motor at anytime.. any link of the product in HK store will be appreciated.
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
You should always use soldered joints, crimp joints are not reliable.
 tony 9 points
Bullet connectors are the preferred way, but need to be soldered on. Once soldered on esc/motor swaps are plug&play. Most esc/motors have this done at the factory leaving the battery for you to choose. Pick the style of plug that is most common with your batt. So you only solder once (esc) rather than every time you buy a battery, like when using deans plugs.

Multi-Rotor throttle calibration problem Hi! Can someone help me in throttle calibration on my Control Board V2.1 ? In the ESC manual seems that doesn't exist the step to calibrate throttle min max position In calibration mode of the board i succeed in programming all the ESC parameters and they seem also calibrated but after switching off battery they forget the throttle calibration.

I verified that the problem is not calibration but something www.link I connect directly the ESC to the RX they all start correctly at the same throttle point If I connect them on the kk board I find that they start in a sequence this sequence is the same even if I rotate the motors on the board can someone tell me what happens?

 FoamEater 57 points
Hi Mario Reis. This ESC will run 2S but you should tell what Aeroplane and motor you wish to use this ESC on. This well help to recommend what ESC will be most suitable for you. 8-10 amp is usually for small motors used models up to approximately 350g. But it also depends on what prop you use. Please post more info.
HHubert  8 points - 7/4/2012
 
Wich battery would you suggest to this ESC with that motor:TURNIGY 2204-14T 19g Outrunner (Product-ID: TR2204-14T)? Would 3S 850mAh 45~90C be to much?
 iflylilplanes 266 points
Depends on the motor used, I've used S2 900mAh with 22** outrunner, and S2 350mAh with a 10g outrunner. Both combinations work well, but don't go any higher a 12A ESC will handle S3 better.
 ElectricAussie 2780 points
Hi HHubert, This ESC is a good match for the 2204-14T, as it's rated at 7.5A max current with a 10A ESC recommended. As long as you don't over-prop the motor or run continuous full throttle, this ESC will work fine. The 850mah is a good choice and should give approx. 10 minute flight times at 2/3 throttle average power demand. Cheers!
 thibfighter 10 points
If you place a 7" prop on the motor, it will run perfectly on 3S. If you place a 8" prop, it's better 2S battery, or 3S if you are not at full throttle every time *)

 teflyer 151 points
if you are doing a quad, do not use these ESC's, they have too low of a refresh rate
 iflylilplanes 266 points
You would be lucky to lift 300 grams with this ESC and the motors that go with it.
 Schorhr 222 points
The 8-10 are problematic!
According to the reviews the one bigger and one smaller work. But from my experience, use the PLUSH escs.

Adjust your lower endpoint farther out or take it all the way and work it back till the throw is right. Hope this helps.
 Akshay 7 points
can u explain it in detail..not able to understand??
 RonRC 2000 points
Akshay, Sorry to say, but this is a SUPPO ESC and should not be used with any multi-rotor controller. But, to arm the board, do as iflylilplanes says and trim your throttle all the way down. Try to arm the board then either left or right. If it arms, then trim the throttle back up until it does not arm and back down a few clicks. Just don't give it throttle with this ESC or you risk burning up a motor. If it does take to the air, you risk a motor dropping out and crashing. These SUPPO ESCs are great for planes but do not have the processing speed to work with multi-rotor controllers. Please award the first person that sufficiently answered your question.

hey guys..i tested and programmed each esc induvisually and motor n all works..i connected everything on frame with the control board..mine is configuration quad.. so i didnt flash it. All connections with x and esc's are fine..but none of the motors are running..why???
 teflyer 151 points
Usually these ESCs are not used for tricopters and quads. The flash rate of the ESC is too low.
 RonRC 2000 points
If you get the motors to run with these ESCs, you will burn one or more of the motors up. The board tries to give inputs at the rate of over 100 times per second. These ESCs have a much lower refresh rate maybe 10 to 20 times per second at the fastest. When they get too many inputs, they will bog down and one leg of power will fail leaving two legs hot but the motor will not turn. This makes the coils act like a heating element and start to burn. If you are bound to try this anyway, make sure you are somewhere outdoors so that if you can not unplug the battery fast enough and it eventually burns an ESC. Then the control board and RX burn. It could short out the entire system and cause your battery to discharge at such a rate that it explodes. A lipo battery burns at a high temperature so make sure you are outdoors. A college classroom or even a lab is no place for this to happen. Please award the first person that adequately answers your question.
 RonRC 2000 points
This is what can happen if a LiPo battery is overloaded. some of the first few were shorted out from a distance.
 Akshay 7 points
lol..scary..im just using this esc temporarily . Later wil buy turnigy plush 20A..is that good?
 RonRC 2000 points
Yes. That is a programmable and should be fine. I made a suggestion for one that is less expensive and still programmable (PRODUCT ID: HK-SS20A-HW)
 RonRC 2000 points
These are only $7.38 and will work for your quad.
 iflylilplanes 266 points
On quadcopters, you arm the motors by holding the rudder stick full to the left or right, I'm not sure witch, for a few seconds, you should hear or see an arming signal.
 tommy2toes 2087 points
nice video! did you just run two wires and cross them?

whch all wires of esc shud be connected to coresponding wires of motor..all wires are black..so? urgent plzz??
 Schorhr 222 points
It does not matter. If it spins in the wrong direction, you just need to swap ANY two and it will reverse. Before soldering try it conected loosely or clamps.
 Gerry01 2912 points
On one side you have the Rx connector and 2 big cables, red and black, those must go to the battery. The other 3 cables go to motor. Order does not matter in sensorless ESC. It will start to spin in one direction. If you need to reverse it, just swap any pair of black cables. Goo luck!
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 RonRC 2000 points
You can connect any of the three wires of the ESC to any of the three wires from the motor. If it run's in the wrong direction you want, all you have to do is switch any two wires and it will run in the proper direction. Just don't use them on a quad.
 iflylilplanes 266 points
Any wire on the ECS to any wire on the motor, if it goes the wrong way exchange two of the wires and there you are. Some manufactures use coloured wires, some don't.

 Akshay 7 points
thanks..but i don't understand those 3 modes? can any1 explain it? which 1 should i use for my quadcopter?
 RonRC 2000 points
Do not use this ESC on a quadcopter. it uses minimal computing memory and can not think fast enough for what the control board needs. You will get motors that will not spin and then will burn. If they do spin, they will drop out when the gyros try to make corrections. Bad Juju in the air. I've tried SUPPO ESCs and can tell you they don't work for quads. Get programmable ESC such as the turnigy plush line. Hope this helps.
 Akshay 7 points
oh ****. i have 6 of them already..its impossible to change..any suggestion to improvize it..and what about the modes?
 RonRC 2000 points
Akshay, I would not use them on a quadcopter. The board sends info to the ESC more than 100 times per second and these can not process that info fast enough so at the least they will lock up and cause only two legs of power to fire. This will burn up the motor (magic smoke some have said). Worst, they will may get your quad off the ground and when you try to turn, adjust or do any inputs, it will cause the gyro's to work frantically to keep it level and then on will drop motor will drop out. In the air this means a crash. I know both of these for a fact as I have experienced both. I have 2 burnt FC 28-12 1534kv motors and a destroyed quad frame from gaining elevation and having a motor drop out. Sorry for the bad news, but I hope you learn from my mistake and get some programmable ESCs. Much better than the alternative. I believe the Turnigy Plush series are all programmable.

 RonRC 2000 points
I'm running 4 - 28-22 1200kv motors (PRODUCT ID: FC2822) and 4 Detrum Dynam 18A ESCs from hobby partz. Another inexpensive ESC is the 18A ESC RCX from My RC Mart. I noticed the HK programmable ESC is in stock now. It is actually a Hobby Wing ESC sold by HK. That's why on the cover it says HK HW 20A ESC (PRODUCT ID: HK-SS20A-HW). This is actually an 18A ESC with a burst of 20A like most 18A ESCs. It will work fine. This is my Xcopter. Hope this helps!
 RonRC 2000 points
maybe this time?
 Akshay 7 points
kind of :) but the motor u suggested has a specs of 11.1v 3S..i have 7.4v 2S..will it work?
 RonRC 2000 points
Oh.. for a Quadcopter? You kinda need all the power you can get. Whether they say it or not, just about all BL motors were designed to run on 12V. If you are trying to run a micro quad that's different. and you'll need a higher KV rating. For batteries, you should get the highest continuous (C) rating too. I run 40C on mine. It's divided into 4 motors giving 10A per motor. There fore you need as much power (Voltage is the easy way) as you can get to your motors. Use the most efficient motor and prop set up you can. BTW what motor are you running? We can work from there and please re-ask your question in the HK control board area. Give the specs on the motors you have to use and it will be much easier to help you. If I don't have an answer, there are lots of knowledgeable people there that can assist. Take care and happy flying!

 Matkas 12 points
I can record it, so you'll see how quick it is. Ok?
 Sokonomi 308 points
Thanks for the offer, but id like to hear from someone who actually used these on a multicopter. Its too hard to tell responsetime from just flicking the throttle stick, it has to have a very rapid response or the quad will be lazy on stabilizing itself.
 Gerry01 2912 points
Point of the RC car story is this. Phisical inertia in blades is high and sudden variations in speed is not possible. Al least not as quickly as in cars. Tires can go from full speed to stop in a second. If an ESC can handle a car, it is really fast enough to handle a simple fixed pith blade. Of course, if you are new to the hobby, I should have take more space to explain...
 Sokonomi 308 points
I think a small GWS prop has less problems spinning up then a lumpy car drivetrain. The point is it has to be fast to respond. The input > output timeframe is known to be sluggish on some HK controllers, but ive only heard it about the bigger sized ones so I was wondering.
 Gerry01 2912 points
The reason why good brushless motors for cars have external position sensors is because ESC often loose sync because of external sudden speed changes. That desn't happen with props since speed changes are commanded, not external. Of course I haven't measured sync pulses in this ESC, but it behaves well. I'm sorry if I was not clear.

Chaosphilipp, I saw the post about them burning up, and want to tell you that I have 4 on the way with 4 5x3 props (CW and CCW) to power 4 C10 2900kv motors on a 2S battery. I've scratch built a micro quad using specs from the Bambucopter after scaling a photo to get the airframe deminsions.

 Chaosphilipp 69 points
'course i wish ya all the best, in my case they didn't work. (As well as the Red Brick ESCs, they didn't burn but tended to drop frames...) Now i have three SS-8A ESCs here (3 because one burnt), one will fly in my HK Reactor, let's see where to use the other two . Guess for normal applications these are absolutely okay :)
 RonRC 2000 points
So, they would cut out on you at inopportune moments? on would just drop? I had that issue with the 10A Red Brick on just about everything. I guess there is a reason they call them bricks.. LOL! Looks like I may have to shop a competitor initials HP for an ESC. They cost more than they do here at HK but at least they have more programming capability and usually arrive within 4 to 5 days.
 Chaosphilipp 69 points
The Bricks merely drop frames, just as a camera does. Means the don't cut off completely, just a few ms, enough to make a copter turn over and speed into the grass. Delivery time is a bonus for more local shops, but if you buy turnigy plush ESCs you'll get a rock solid ESC for quite an acceptable fee.
 RonRC 2000 points
I'm looking at Detrum or Hobbywing. Both are the same price $9.50 and have the same specs. Cutting out is something you don't want on a multirotor bird... Bad Juju LOL

Ron,and holger,we try to get a vid of the plane flying with the new esc but its quite to fast using 3s we try it several times but we cant get a good view of it..i use the 2s but still it too fast to capture a good view...maybe the plane was too small..sorry...f86 micro..

i want to upgrade my mig15 35mm PNF version.stock set up are 6A esc,350mah 2s lipo..now i want to use 3s lipo batt.will this work? if i will replace the 6A stock esc?pls help.
 shiham 60 points
yes it will work , this ECS is capable of powering up with 2s or 3s .
 DennisT1 162 points
This ESC will work with 3S battery, but motor may not. You will be increasing the wattage significantly unless you drop back on prop size considerably. If you are after more power, you should also check to see if the motor is capable of handling more.
 giuseppi 30 points
The above response regarding prop size is not applicable in this instance. The question pertains to a fixed edf fan size for which an alternate diameter "prop" is not an option.

What might be an issue, however is in the amount of blades on the rotor. I believe the PNF comes with two rotors, one being 5 blades and the other being 3 blades. It might be necessary to use the 3 blade rotor to keep the motor from overheating, but possibly not.

So, yes the ESC will operate on three cells w/o issue, and the motor should work fine, especially with the 3 blade rotor.
 DennisT1 162 points
I stand corrected as to prop size, I didnt realize it was ducted fan. However, increasing voltage by 50% without verifying power handling of the motor is still likely to let the magic smoke out. Using 3 blade instead of 5 blade rotor would have the same effect as a smaller diameter prop, assuming same pitch on both. I suspect the 3 blade has more pitch to increase top speed, and the 5 has less pitch for better thrust at low speeds* both resulting in roughly the same wattage from the motor.
 DennisT1 162 points
In that case, either rotor could still result in excessive wattage and burned motor. So, I stand by my recommendation that motor wattage should be verified before chancing the changeover (unless you are willing to replace/upgrade the motor anyway).
 giuseppi 30 points
Your point is well taken, except that it's already been proven that the stock motors in these 35mm EDFs are quite happy on 3s LiPo provided yhe stock esc is replaced by one that is more www.link

I tried to provide a link to the thread * RC Groups but it doesn't work.

Go to RC Groups and check out this thread for the full story:

 DennisT1 162 points
I'll defer to your knowledge of this exact setup then. Only way I've found to post a link is add spaces in it around each word. Do wish HK would allow real links* at least to their own products if they don't want to send people off-site.
 Willy 15 points
Attention ! HK ne garantie pas le fonctionnement sous 3S. Passe un ESC plus grand (8A)
 RonRC 2000 points
If it will fit in your Mig, it should work just fine. My only question would be is the motor in your Mig rated for a 3S? If not, you should look at the micro C10 motor. Not sure what kv rating you are running but the C10 is a 2900kv and is capable of handling 11.1v. Hope this helps and Happy flying!

I want to use this in a 2s 2000KV motor, is this possible? my main concern is that there is not timing programable option.
 Gerry01 2912 points
I use it with a 3550 kV motor, on a toy car for my kids. No problems at all. It'll go ok on 2000 kV. Good luck!

I need to control a small dc motor with a servo tester,I was told to use this speed controller. The speeds that I need are real slow, will this work and if the speeds are too fast, how can I slow it down?
 teflyer 151 points
If it is a DC motor, I believe you will need a Brushed Motor ESC. If the motor only has two wire coming out of it, then it is a brushed motor and you need to get the Brushed motor ESC. And if you have a brushless motor, I believe you can control the speed of the motor by plugging the ESC into where the servo usuaully goes using the JR plug and adjusting the little knob on the servo tester
 geeze 9 points
Wheather your motor is brushed or brushless you can't get a "real slow" speed with either appropriate esc. To do so you need to have a closed loop system. That is the actual motor speed needs to be sensed and fed into your speed control. RC electronic speed controls don't do this. They operate "open loop" with no speed feedback.
 DennisT1 162 points
You may also want to research 'stepper' motors. Sounds like they might be what you are trying to accomplish. Also, consider gearing a motor down. Ultra-low speed direct motor operation can be a bit unreliable because a little load change can make big differences in RPM.
 Willy 15 points
Attention, non adapte au moteur DC, juste moteur bruschless! Ce n'est pas bon.
 RonRC 2000 points
LLamasbrgarin, If the DC motor is a brushless, this should work fine! However, you should get a low kv motor if you want it to turn real slow. If it is a brushed motor, then you will need a brushed ESC. Hope this helps and Happy fly.. uh.. What ever you're doing! Ha ha!

can this esc plugged to the micro receiver?
 Gerry01 2912 points
It has a standar JR plug. If your micro receiver has one, it'll be ok.
 G.B.C 16 points
Just check the voltage of operation, if the micro receiver is only for 1S wont work, but if you are using 2s will work. Check if the micro receiver has a standar JR plug too.
 Willy 15 points
Oui, il faut changer la prise par une JST.
 Steve 3 points
yes it will considering all servo/esc wires have the same sive connecter that goes into what ever reciever you have
 Holger 5 points
Yes, that is no problem. This ESC has a integrated BEC ("Voltage Stablelizer") with 5V and 1A output which can be used to power the reciever with your 2S (or 3S) Lipo.
******
German:
Ja, dass ist kein Problem. Er kann sogar den Reciever mit 5V und 1A Strom versorgen. Dafür ist ein "Spannungsstabilisierer" (BEC) eingebaut, der auch bei wechselnder Last am Akku 5V liefert.
 RonRC 2000 points
That depends on which micro RX you mean. If you are referring to the Orange R410, then yes it will. If you are referring to the Orange R415, then you would have to remove the servo plug and replace it with a molex plug. Best to just get the molex leads and solder the wires together. Hope this helps and Happy flying!

How do I set throttle range on this esc?
 DennisT1 162 points
End Point Adjustments(EPA) on your radio.
 spencer 8 points
you have to set epa on your transmitter if it is a computer raido
 speedmaster 50 points
I mean how to calibrate it for QUAD use...
 Gerry01 2912 points
You can't in this ESC, only cutt off and break are programmable.
 RonRC 2000 points
These are SUPPO ESCs and there is no throttle range setting on these. Hope you are not using these on a multicopter! Great for fixed wing though.

I got 4 of them and 2 burned, I don't know what I did wrong :(
 RCSpeeder 15 points
Few things can happen...Battery plug in wrongly, Faulty Wiring, Amp drawn too high from prop size. I know this through experience. It's a good ESC for indoor or light crafts.
 Alexplose 5 points
Only two of them burned, wiring is the same and the same 3S lipo is used, no props were mounted, just testing, i will check my wirings again, could it be a bad cell number detection ?
 RCSpeeder 15 points
It might be possible if it was set away from auto detection. Do you use programming card? It is highly cause of wiring.
 Alexplose 5 points
Ok theses are backordered in my order, so I'll double check my wirings and test everthing with my two last ESCs. Thanks
 RCSpeeder 15 points
Your welcome mate.
 scouse 111 points
NO they can just be **** straight from the factory , i have 6 of these and like you 2 of them blew for no reason , not under throttle , no props on motors , wiring all correct , programmed all correct, sometimes you just have to accept that for cheap prices now and again you will get a dud , there is no point contacting support as they will do nothing.
 Steve 3 points
if you motor draws more than 8 amps it will burn out the esc within secounds you must get an esc that has a higher amp rating than the motor
 RonRC 2000 points
Alexplose, I truly hope you are not trying to use these ESCs on a multicopter. You can ruin motors, these ESCs, Batteries, and if the bird does become airborne, you can crash it when a motor drops out.
n3m1s1s  1019 points - 1/13/2012
 
these are the esc's i used for my mini quad and they worked great with kk boards, open pilot copter control an multiwii will test with other flight controllers soon

Schneizel  15 points - 1/6/2012
 
Two or more of these ESCs plugged into the same receiver in the throttle channel interferes with each other and does not run. BEC red wire is not connected. Any solution or explanation? Thanks
 Gerry01 2912 points
I would try:
1- Cover both ESC with a metal shield (like aluminium foil). So you´ll know that noise is comming form the wires.
2- A separate 5V supply for the receiver. So you'll know noise is not coming form de 5v line.
3- Test both ESC on 2 different channels. So you'll know if noise is coming from the control line.
4- Finally, if noise is finding its way by de ground link, your only choice is to replace one ESC with an opto-isolated ESC.
Good luck!
 Schneizel 15 points
Tried options 1,2,3, didn't help. Changing one of the ESCs to another brand name ESC resolved the interference.
 Gerry01 2912 points
Any other of this ESC is injecting noise, or only one? it may be a defective capacitor. Either way, sometimes 'cheap' means 'problematic', for a quadcopter for instance it's better to use an isolated ESC. Good luck!
 Schneizel 15 points
Nope. It happens with about 7 other ESCs. I'm going to switch out all the ESCs

Very good controller, specially for this money.
With 8A it becomes a little bit warm, no problem.
One disadvantage: there is no manual included. (5 Stars with manual!)

With my controller there is no difference in break with the 10pcnt throttle position reported by Frank. Are the different versions?

I have searched in web an i found that the controller is programmable.
Possible options:
- LIPO-mode (auto selection 2/3 cells)
- NIMH-mode
- Break on / off

To program this controller you have to move transmitter throttle to full position.
Now connect battery to controller.
Wait some seconds, than you hear:
*peep* - *short pause* - *peep*
*pause*
*peep*peep* - *short pause* -*peep*peep*
*pause*
*peep*peep*peep* - *short pause* -*peep*peep*peep*
*pause*
this sequence will repeat...

When you want to use NIHM cells, you have to move throttle to off position when you hear the first *beep*beep*. Than you have to wait for a longer *beeep* and a short *beep*. That's all. You can disconnect battery now.

When you want to select LIPO mode, start from the beginning (throttle full, connect battery, listen to the beeps)
At the time when you hear the first single *beep* move throttle to off and wait for
*beeep* and *beep*.

When you want to switch Brake On or Off, start from the beginning, then wait for the first *peep*peep*peep* within one sequence and put throttle to off. Wait for *beeep* and *beep*.

Note: When you connect battery and throttle is in off posit

I don't know if I got a dud or not but this speed controller does not start my
motors very well.
I tried 8 different outrunner motors and 2 inrunner motors from 5-20 gram size class and most had a very rough start up but once running was OK.
It seems to me the motors that had the hardest time on start up had the most magnet cogging and a few of my motors would not start at all.
My HexTronik 5gram Brushless Outrunner 2000kv (the least magnet cogging) would start OK but had a tiny rough start.
I did not expect much from a $8.00 S.C. but I had to try it.
For $15.00 the Turnigy Plush 10amp 9gram Speed controller is the way to go as this has proven to be an excellent performing S.C. that works every bit as good as ones I paid three times for. 04/09/08

Today received it, according to the customer community this is a suppo 10A http://www.suppomodel.com/.

Not programmable and really easy to use, small and light. But slow down voltage(not cut-off)is too low 8,4 for 3 lipo cells and 5,3 for 2 lipo cells.
Manufactures site claim "Auto Low battery Slow down at 3.0V/Lipo, cut-off at 2.9V/Lipo".

Ik heb enorm veel storing gehad met deze regelaar.
Twee gekocht, met allebei storing, ook met verschillende ontvangers. Ook starten sommige motors slecht met deze regelaar.

Voor mij geen super simple regelaars meer!

English:

Ik have a lot of glitches with this ESC.
If my plane is more than 5m away from me and the motor is on, the elevator and rudder panic... The start is very rough with some motors.

I can't recommend this ESC.

Super Regler. Gewicht mit Kabel 7g. Einfach anschließen und losfliegen, zeigt keine Macken. Leider war keine Beschreibung wg. den Einstellungen dabei, deshalb nur 4 Sterne! Ich kann diesen Regler nur weiterempfehlen!
