Hey everyone.
I just found this site but have been watching endless spheres and member OKP’s forum for a while. This stuff looks amazing and i am looking to finally sack up and get some parts. I have decided on the motor mounts and belt and pully, the board, bushings, trucks and wheels seem pretty standard.
I want to get started ordering parts but I’m on a budget. I’ve heard good things about the DIY 12s Opto HV 120A but they cost more than a VESC and i found these on Aliexpress…
they look alot like torqueboards esc’s…my question is has anyone tried these? My buddy who races rc cars says esc’s are different for planes and cars and quads. Anyone messed with changing the software on these?
Again on the cheap is key here. I know VESC’s are the shit and I will probably order one of them down the road, but for now I just want to get moving and DIY’ s non-VESC are more expensive than VESC!!
The K-force is only a few dollars cheaper than the Torqueboards Esc and with Torqueboards you get the proper firmware for E-board and you get expert tech support. Don’t waste money on an Esc that might not work or not have the settings you need.
The source that you listed has a 27 day delivery
So you’ll have to wait anyway unless you get the TB Esc
27 days stateside bro…got mine in a week in Europe. Hardware very similar…gonna try and crack the code…will do a comparision of roomies Torqueboards ESC…if the hardware is the same we ought be able to figure out how to make this cheaper alternative run the same … Halfprice!!! alternative to torqueboards AND open source. I´ve been reading about BLHeliSuite and how to clone firmware…
Might as well kill some time waiting on my VESC…and i mean if it works!!!
Awesome!! Thanks for the heads up Chaka. I can get two of these from Asia for the price of one of torqueboards. Dont mean to knock the guy, seems like a legit dude and backs up the group here and ES but man a 50% mark up. What!
