While sorting out a few boxes of random parts I noticed I have a few nice, powerful, and very fast KO Propo FET servos that run on 7.2V. In the old times you'd need a ESC with additional wire for powering those (I have a few), but can these also be safely used with brushless ESCs and 7.4V lipos?
Anyone have any good experience with these? I'm looking to get one for my SC10 kit I'm fixing to preorder. Word on the street is changing the steering servo on a sc10 is a NIGHTMARE, so I wanted to look into something long term.
My 1/8 scale...
So, maybe it's fluky or maybe no one else is running 3S on their Associated XP series brushless ESCs, but I thought I'd share my experience and perhaps save other people the headache.
Anywho, I have just fried the second SC900BL ESC in less than a...

I don't think that the motor was the problem.
That's what I'm saying; despite the rating, these ESCs don't seem to be able to take 3S.
Did you happen to check the temp of the esc?
The ESC measured 151* right after it let the smoke out.
I last raced in the mid-90s. I got back into RC cars a few years ago with vintage stuff (which to me is just stuff :lol: ). I might try racing again, or at least do practice days.
Are transponders universal or do I need to go to the local track(s)...

Most transponders are universal, but I would always check with your local track to see what system they use first just in case.
If the track supplies house transponders they are usually self powered and nothing else is needed except a hole in the...
Well I own Speed Passion 1.1
I used to own a Mamba Max Pro, it was awsome but i can't fit it on my chassis and have it hang of the side of my chassis damaged my Fan bracets.
So I am out for a new ESC, its seems its all about programable ESC now.
If...

My first and car was a buggy with gold chassis when i was 14 and still have and are looking to fix a broken front control are and know where to get that but not sure what kind of esc to get. I had a tekin on it but put it on the son's new rc10 t-4...
Why when I have the Dtx-4 hooked up to car it feels like shit, it’s fast but really choppy. The wires are really clean ,soldered pretty good,long. Then when I use the Tekin rebel ESCs with same car and motor it’s a lot smoother but still not as...
