Sorry LG - not intending to imply that’s all you do. I just know a lot of your builds and how-to’s are for the budget build folks.
No harm intended. I feel you on using the right tool for the job. My luck with non-VESC ESC’s has been poor. From XERUN 150’s to Mamba 2 - i never got good performance from them and went VESC and never looked back. Stuttering at start, anemic at best brakes, and the brake SHRIEK when braking all pissed me off. No regen, limited to 6/8s(mamba) - i haven’t looked back.
I have heard of many smoked budget ESC’s - let alone missuse of the Heli/Boat ones to save a $. So i’m a big proponent of paying a few extra $ up front and getting something that will last (beyond 6s), and you can configure to your liking. Brakes again are a huge difference, but maybe i need to ride a properly setup X-Car beast board?
@Fosachi - best of luck and look forward to seeing your build!
