cheap good esc for 19t
 

im looking for a cheap good esc for a 19 turn trinity motor, im using a tamiya teu-501k at the mo and it keeps over heating after 5 mins, as in hot enough to gve me a bad blister!

any suggestions?

First thing to do is get rid of the standard Tamiya plugs and bullet connectors as they are high reistance and will be contributing to the overheating.
Use Deans for the battery and the motor, or solder the motor direct.
If that fails, you do need a new esc.

My son uses a Novak XRS in 2WD (and 4WD when he had one) with no problems.

nice and small and external solder tabs too...not too shabby.

i have same prob atm due to running something like a 10t in a 14 t lrp pro reverse ESC. im moving to a 19t soon so im gonna keep mine but i would suggest one if you got around £60, but that aint cheap. soo erm hang ill have a look for you.

thanks for all the help, losidan, it says its a 14t limit?

Motor limits on esc's mean the limit and up not the limit and down. so on a esc with a 14t limit means you can run a motor from a 14t and up so this would include motors such as 19t and 27t etc but not a motor such as a 10t.

I would highly recomend the xrs ive had novak speedo's before and there top notch.

Also in my personal opinion i would avoid mtroniks as ive had 4-5 bloe up on my cant remeber precisly they seemed to be going up left rigt and center.

Hope ive helped.

does it come with all the soldering/wireing already done?

How much do you want to spend? ive got a few speedos for sale on here.

Yup it should do you will have to solder it onto your motor though.

Hi guys, I am reading your thread and I have a suggestion. If you want a esc to power that 19t trinity motor, may I suggest these ones........http://www.horizonhobby.com/Search/D...m=tazer&CatId=

There is a club around here, (Canada) that uses the cheaper one, the 15t esc in their onroad cars and they swear by it. For $29US you can't go wrong.

buy one of these, doddy gear's top notch and it probably has a warranty card
the novaks warranty is as much use as a chocolate fire guard:D
