esc question
« on: March 07, 2013, 07:12:49 pm »

 "I have handled three examples of this particular MTroniks ESC (25A) and all have displayed just the symptoms described here i.e. large amounts of stick movement do very little until you get to about halfway, then the motors ramp almost straight up to full speed. The motors also displayed a marked tendency to "hunt" at full speed."

Looked at the above partial quote in another thread, ive got a viper 15amp controller which does as is described using a planet transmitter, as i will need another couple of esc's in the future i'm now tending to lean towards the action ones, so the question is can you set them up with reverse with the planet transmitter like the mtronics ones

thank you and regards Jack.

ACTion speed controllers are fully forward and reverse and require no setting up at all. Switch on the transmitter followed by the receiver; allow a couple of seconds after the "bind" light is on and the ESC has set itself.

But I have to emphasise that they are for BRUSHED motors, not Brushless (as the board implies)

Stavros is bang on, ACTion ESC's are brilliant, I have 4 P94's JUST THE BEST there is for the money, no hassles, they work every time exactly as described. All ACTion electronics are very good stuff. Dave is also very helpful no matter how stupid you have messed up. Mick B.

I have to point out here that I no longer run ACTion. The products are available from Component-Shop.co.uk, to whom any queries should be addressed initially.

irishcarguy, inertia thanks for the help, why can't they be run direct from a lead acid or any other battery the same as the mtronics 15 amp

They are designed to run on a regulated 5 volts for control - the output side will be perfectly happy with 12 volts, but since a BEC is not built in, either a separate one is required to supply the regulated 5 volts, or a separate RX battery, which, admittedly, must not be a 6 volt SLA.  All in the instructions that can be downloaded and inspected before purchase.
