Hi all,
Was looking for a 12v ESC and i found a couple on a website for a Canadian store, which means it should be the cheapest route to get one.
There's the old Dumas 12 volter, which is a mechanical rheostat. The cheapest option, but it doesn't have a BEC, and it's still 70 dollars. I'm leery of paying that much for a rheostat, considering it might be possible to pluck one from a broken appliance for nothing. On the plus side, I heard that electronic controls give off noises that mechanical ones dont.
There is
this one from Graupner, but damned if i can find any more info on it. Since 12v is the highest capacity listed, im worried it would be dangerous at full throttle.
The most expensive option is
this unit from Astro Flight, which should be more than enough, but if the Graupner or Dumas units would work okay, I'd prefer to pinch pennies.
Personally i know NOTHING about ESCs, and i just want one that doesn't require separate cards or wiring to program, and that will work with a 12v system providing forward and reverse.
