Pick me a brushless ESC (please!)

Recommended Posts

I bought this Absima brushless setup from ebay http://electro24.cz/detail-466519-brushless-motor-absima-thrust-bl-10-brushless-regulator-absima-thrust-a10/

It works fine, but it has a really weird quirk that when you back off the throttle there is a drag brake that stops the motor dead, when fitted to a car this often results in a rather alarming crack as the gearboxes lock up. It appears that there is no way to program the ESC so unless someone has a way to reduce the drag brake I was going to get another esc - but I'm not really up with all this brushless malarky, so not really sure what I need.

The motor is labelled at "10T", which from what I gather doesn't mean all that much with brushless. This page quotes it as being 3050Kv, this one quotes 3420Kv https://www.trxxs-winkel.nl/absima-brushless-combo-thrust-p-7117.html as per the first link, the esc is rated at 80A. Can I get away with a Hobbywing 10BL60 which is only 60A ? http://www.hobbywing.com/goods.php?id=355&filter_attr=5426.5599

Any others I should go for, maybe one of the trackstars from hobbywing ?

Thanks

Probably a df02 buggy. Jason on here pointed me in the direction of a 60amp no name Chinese esc for £10, so may give that a go then.  Thanks.

I ran a 10bl60 in a tt02 for a while.

I've just ordered a 10BL120, they did a great job with the brushed 1060 and dual brushed 860, I'm hoping the greatness has transferred to brushless!

I’m using a similar abisma unit that is just a hobbywing 10bl50. I had trouble with it until I plugged in one of my hobbywing programmers and set it up, also I had to run through the throttle setup profile before the forward/brake/reverse worked proper.

the hobbywing programmers appear to work across most hobbywing units but you have to look at your supplied manual for what each number means. I plugged a 12 function unit into a cheaper esc and it just gave 5 options. So the programmer adapts depending which esc is connected.

the hobbywing 10bl60 will handle that motor easily.

Yeah ok, that’s probably not a hobbywing unit then, the manual certainly leaves a lot to be desired. 

Hobbywing esc’s sometimes program from the fan plug, if there is 3 pins under the fan plug them that’s the program port.
