I want to upgrade my pneumatics build with a second motor.
The 150A HK ESC that I already have however is not available anymore at the EU warehouse so I need to order a different one. Can I use any other ESC or should I pay attention to getting the same brand or something? There is a 120A version of my ESC. Is that the best option in that case? There is also the trackstar one on sale right now: https://hobbyking.com/de_de/trackstar-150a-genii-1-8th-scale-sensored-brushless-car-esc-pc-programmable.html
Sure but does it really matter?
@lowGuido even rides an uneven dual drive (meaning two different kv motors) with therefor completely different characteristics and it works fine.
It is obviously better but do people have actual experience with differing ESCs? And I don’t mean like huge ESC differences like a Heli and Car ESC but minor ones like the 120 and 150A version of the same one.
the problem is, that you might get some trouble if you have a dual setup on one axle, so one motor spins different than the other and does some weird things.
If you go diagonal, you won´t have any trouble because you have the mighty brake and acceleration force on two axles.
I’ve used a few different 6s car escs. It will definitely work, but the brakes might be annoying. I’ve noticed that braking on different ESCs is vastly different. So getting them to both brake at the same time/progressiveness might be challenging if not impossible.
