You cannot use 15A, 3cell ESC for a motor having 25A, 4cell count, but you can use a 30A 6 cell ESC for the same motor.You can go for higher Amps and cell count (which will give you a safe margin, ESCs heat up during operation, higher Amps ESC will have more heat dissipation, moreover the same ESC can be used with other motors also) keeping the weight and cost in mind.If the selected motor has a max current consumption of 20 amps and max working voltage of 4 cell Lippo (14.8V), then the required ESC will be minimum of 20A, 2-4cells.ESC selection mainly depends upon the maximum current consumption and maximum working voltage of your motor.Electronic Speed Controllers are available in different sizes and weights, which depends on their max output current capabilities.Įxample 1 - TURNIGY Plush 60amp Speed Controller.Most of the ESCs have programmable functions, such as battery selection, cut off voltage, brake, motor direction, etc.This prevents the battery from getting totally drain out same time giving power to servos and Rx allowing the pilot to control the model when the motor stops.Most of the ESC has a programmable function to cut-off motor power when the battery voltage falls to a preset value, for example 3 V/cell.These BEC include a 5V regulator to supply the receiver and servos from the same battery that is used to power the motor, thereby eliminating the weight of a second battery only to power the radio and servos.Most ESCs have a facility known as Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC).( We will learn this in detail in BLDC motor section). Which means that the motor's rpm is regulated by varying the pulses duty-cycle according to the transmitter's throttle position.Working of ESC is based on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Generally the higher the rating, the larger and heavier the ESC.ESCs are normally rated according to maximum current they can handle safely, for example, a 30A ESC can handle 30 amperes current continuously.Procedure for programming will be given in the ESC manual.Programming can be done with Tx-Rx or with the help of ESC Programming cards.The programmable features are motor starts, helicopter mode, timing, cut off voltage, etc. The motors we use in our RC planes are brushless.ESCs will also show whether they are for brushed motors or brushless motors.The selection of ESC is based on the maximum current consumption of the motor you are going to use, ESC's comes in different ampere ratings.It converts the battery's direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) that is required by the brushless motor.ESC controls the motor speed based on throttle signal sent from the receiver.It converts the battery voltage to a safe 5v for the receiver and servos to run on.The ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) has three main functions. ESCs are used on electrically powered radio controlled models. This ESC comes with 3.5mm bullet plugs pre-installed so you can connect your motor straight away and a 4mm HXT battery connector, also supplied with the motor sensor lead.An electronic speed control or ESC is an electronic circuit used for controlling brushless motor's speed, its direction of rotation and also used as a dynamic brake.

The Turnigy TrackStar 70A ESC also includes 3 x 14AWG motor wires and 2 x 14AWG power input wires.Heat on this ESC is dissipated via the red anodised CNC machined heatsink. The Turnigy TrackStar 70A waterproof ESC also boasts a host of programming options not usually found in an ESC at this price and can be programmed with ease via the Turnigy TrackStar Turbo programming card (sold separately).

With Intelligent MCU logic the TrackStar series ESCs allow extremely precise start up control and positioning feedback from the motor, this translates in to very smooth start up and acceleration. Using a Fast Silicon Labs MCU and high quality On-Semiconductor MOSFETs the TrackStar 70A waterproof ESC sets a new standard in high quality yet affordable car ESCs. The Turnigy TrackStar 1/10 70A Waterproof Car Sensored ESC is a must for those wishing to thrash there car or buggy about when it is very wet, this ESC has been waterproofed to stop the ingress of water into the delicate electronic components, whilst we call this waterproof we do not recommend fully submersing it in water, just great for splashing through puddles etc. Turnigy TrackStar 1/10 70A Waterproof Car ESC (Sensored Only) (41929)
