Hitec "Gold brick" ESC's

(1/2) > >>

gingyer:
I have a few of the old hitec esc that are the gold brick ones
can anyone remember the max voltage for them my mind say's
it 7.2V but I wanted to check

malcolmfrary:
I think they were good for 8.4 (7 cells), any more volts and the output driver circuit would incinerate itself.  (Easily recognised - a very black resistor over a very black bit of PCB, normally with some melted solder and a curly bit of copper tracking separated from the board)

andygh:
Yes, just had a look & the label reads 6 - 8.4V  O0

gingyer:
Thanks for the info I always had 6v going thru them
and I wanted to make sure they were not for 12v
