Looking for a good esc to fit with a 2845 4300kv motor, idk if it's sensored or sensorless and I need to know what Amp should I choose

 

[DavidB1126]

what car?
Looking at the motor size. I'm thinking its in the range of a 14th or 16th scale car?
For reference, in my Mini B build, I use a cheap amazon surpass hobbies (kind val) 35a esc. Does just fine. I run a smaller can (2435) and 6100kv.

Unfortunately none of these will work for me the first won't work it needs to be higher than 45A and I've searched about the second , it seems to light on fire after few runs and the third is just the stock one

A Hobbywing 1080 should be fine, and they're fairly cheap.

Nevermind. Your car is brushless. Go with David's suggestions

 

[DavidB1126]

I second hobbywing. But wouldn't this be for a brushless setup?
10BL60 SD might be small enough to fit in there.
Idk mini cars too well

You're right. I was thinking that was a brushed RC. Hood catch.

Surpass is at the lower end as far as price, but they make some fairly decent stuff.

It does kind of bug me that Hobbywing's recommended motors go from 24xx- to 36xx- in one step, they don't have any ESC's targeting 28xx-motors and 1/12th-1/14th scale cars.

I've driven a 4500kv 2845 with a 16BL30 on 2S, albeit in a crawler with plenty of gear reduction so the motor wasn't under particularly high load. The ESC got a bit warm, but held up.

For your application I would recommend a 10BL60, you can find them for ~$35 OEM, any cheaper isnt worth the trouble.

I'd also add that 4300KV is a little high for 3S.
IK that may not be what ur going for, but i figured I'd pop in

Just saw them but they go for $45-$55 on most of the websites, I think I'll go for the surpass one as it's half of the price and it works with me setup
