I am controlling the EZrun 18a esc from an arduino. I tried many different sketches and the most I could get it to do is vibrate. I read that a vibrating motor could be a broken phase, So I detached the motor and measured each phase of the esc while it was running with a multimeter. The...

Hi! I was wondering if I could get your opinion/advice. My team is putting together a stair climbing robot with a motorized retrieval system for our Mechanical Engineering class. We will be using 5 DC brushed motors in total: 4 of these motors (https://www.pololu.com/product/1106) and 1 less...

Many years ago I visited Hong Kong RC heaven and pickup this great ESC called Hobbywing XeRun150A and a Hobbywing 2250KV motor for a Team C 1/8 on road. HK RC shops are so cheap compared to here so I was tempted and enjoyed running the vehicle.
Here is the link for the specs of both...
I'm putting a RX8 gen 2 and Pro4 HD 4300kv set up in a SCTE, should I purchase the fan?
I did purchase the fan when I used the RX8 on my 1/8 buggy, but the SC lids are more open and I figured I'd have more air flow than I do with a buggy.
So I've been researching a new motor and esc for my Losi Mini 8ight. I just got this last week and it has a Velinion 4000 kv and the original esc in it. I will probably stick with 2s as I'm worried 3s will break things. The first place I looked was Castle...
I need suggestions, I am looking at getting an RC8b3e & in need of a esc & motor. I've been looking at the Castle Creations 1/8 Sidewinder with a 2200 kV Castle motor, the Mamba Monster 2 or X with a 2200 kV Manba motor, the Tekin RX8 Gen 2 with appropriate motor(not sure which) finally the...
my need for speed is getting to me.
I have a 1/0 on road car and i would love get it to good speeds.
what can you guys recommend?
i'm thinking Leopard 10500KV Sensored 3.5T Brushless Motor with mamba max pro.
recommendations? I don't want to burn anything. I don't mind if it runs hot as long...
Hey Everyone. My son has a little Dromida buggy that the ESC is acting funny. He soaked it in the snow and now it is not so well. I think the water may have done it in but I am not sure. It will go forward but not in reverse unless you reverse the radio and it will it works great. If you...
hey there, my understanding of this esc is that is rated for 65a 120 burst. I've seen this esc used on castle creations motors rated for 75a max power. how is this working?
am I missing something
thank you guys.
Traxxas is recalling the X-Maxx Velineon VXL-6s ESC on trucks that where sold between November 19, 2015 and January 19, 2016.

Hey guys I have a Traxxas slash 4x4 Platnium completely stock. I'm wanting to put a new motor and esc and was wondering what's the best one to get for not an outrageous price. I want to go fast and also be able to ride in grass and dirt.

Okay guys. I have a question about esc's. If I have an ESC that will run a 3300 KV 4 pole motor will that ESC work with another brand 4 pole motor with the same or a tad higher KV rating?
Team Orion is trying to build the ESC right into their motors now... Anyone else think this is a flawed design? Seems like putting the esc inside the hottest part of the electronics is a terrible idea but time will tell I guess. Click the link to read more...
