The Esc Revolution begins now.

The Esc Revolution begins.
We are online now @ www.speed-cubed.com

Very soon every one can afford brushless controls!. For the price of a brushed control your paying now you can buy our Brushless controls Starting at Under $49.00 for a 10 amp unit. Our Brushed controls now all have a brake included and the size is smaller 1.23” X 0.5” X 0.4” From 15 ~ 65 Amps 7~14 Cells and a 1.5Amp Bec.

Join us in the revolution “We make flight affordable”

Our future products include a High power Bec > 6 amps and 30 cells! for $19.00 and Windows software interface in April 2004 it's a new year people time to get ready to fly.

Let the revolution begin...

The link worked for me, but I don't see any info on brushless controllers on the site.

[johnbyrne]

The banner for the design contest is broken. Its goes to a football team page.

[Speed-3]

Not a foot ball fan? :)
Ill report it to our web guy thanks for the tip.

The design contest banner is simply a placeholder.

[canopy]

Your webpage does not open properly or completely. You might want to check it.

[Gene Bond]

Works fine, now...

Are the brakes on the brushed controls programmable on/off? IMO, there are more places you don't need a brake than do...

[zagisrule!]

Hello everybody!

The brakes are not programmable ON/OFF, but we offer a lower-priced unit with no brake for those applications where a brake is not desirable. The brake on our braked models works very well, a super-hard stopper for sailplanes and AP applications.

Our website is not very good right now, we are focusing on dealing to hobby-shops and retailers rather than going into the retail business right now, at least until we are well established.

Our main focus right now is our BL units. These are the controls that are going to set us apart from the competition with outstanding performance, small size, and all that at a very affordable price :) .

If anyone has anymore questions or comments, PM me and I would be more than happy to discuss them with you!

Any specific details on the brushless ESC's ?
Found none on the site.

[zagisrule!]

The BL ESC's will have adjustable timing, brake ON/OFF, adjustable (lipo friendly) LVC, adjustable PWM frequency, and the ability to interface to your PC using our upcoming computer interface that will allow you to control all parameters of your ESC's operation to suit your needs.

[Kevin Murray]

What is the release date ?

[zagisrule!]

Unsure about that, we are developing these babies as I write...

Hopefully late this spring or summer.

[Kevin Murray]

[KeithK]

I just noticed that "CC" is producing an interface to allow programming via PC.

Let the competition begin:D

[Kevin Murray]

I saw that someplace and didn't follow the link.
Then I went to the CC web site and saw no mention of the computer thingy.

Where did you see it at ?

[KeithK]

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194682

first link has a pdf file with info.

Now lets see who has the better price!

[Kevin Murray]

Thanks Keith. I'm checking it out now. :)

Oh, it already has my friend! Here is a sneak-peak at our computer interfacing software for our new BL line which, hopefully, will be to market this March *Gasp!*


PM me with any questions or comments you all might have, I would be glad to speak with you and discuss your thoughts.

[Kevin Murray]

Bring it on. :)

[zagisrule!]

Price should be $19.99


I think that is cheaper than Castle Creations ;)

[bruff]

What does the interface look like? Any pictures? When are your brushless ESCs coming out? Need a 30 cell and 70 AMP for my EDF's.
Thanks,
Bob

[Kevin Murray]

I will have the CC one by the end of the month. BUT if you ESC's fearutes and price is right I'll buy yours too.

[zagisrule!]

No pictures of the interface at the moment, sorry! Interface simply connects to RS-232 port of PC, and terminates in a standard radio connector that plugs into the ESC.

Our BL ESC's will hopefully be out this March, we are working really hard to get them done.

Features of the BL ESC's will be:
-Programmable Brake
-Soft-start option for gearbox protection
-Adjustable Timing
-Adjustable LVC
-Adjustable PWM Frequency

Sounds great! Don't forget to beta test them. Me thinks the populous is stinking tired of paying to be beta testers.

Q

[zagisrule!]

There is more than enough Beta-testing going on... Thanks for bringing up the point though.

I think that CC could have gotten a real bad image after releasing the new Phoenix 10's that didn't work right, luckily they made things right. We do our best to make sure nothing like that will happen.

Not nit-picking, but even the most expensive 10A brushed controller is <$30 ... would be nice for a 10A brushless ESC to be $35 or less ;)

Let the revolution begin!

Oh, you've missed it by a couple years already my friend:



http://users.pandora.be/F5BinBelgium/Images/speedy.jpg

This is the program that comes with the Speedy brushless controller. You can build it yourself if you want. Does all the things your "future" controller does and more. Upgrades ( like CC) also possible. Only through parallel port ( it's old, remember). USB , and eventually easy downloadable upgrades, are the only advantages CC might add. As your thing is even further from production, I do not know how to compare, but afai can see, nothing new...


Lehner (from the beginning) and Kontronik ESC's can also be programmed( no soft upgrades afaik), Lehner has no GUI, don't know about Kontronik.

Sorry .... :D

[Quacker]

I think half the revolution is in the low cost. Are you saying that these European brushless controllers have been much cheaper than the present market for "a couple of years?"

Chorus:

"Not likely"

No I'm not, but still, it was possible to get a parts set ( you solder it up) for less than 40 Euro, at the time a lot less than 40$. What's so revolutionary about a 10 amp controller costing 49 $ ( so they say, the thing does not exist yet), about 5 $ cheaper than a comparable Jeti or MGM or even CC controller. The recent "Tsunami" 10A controller, very much inspired by the speedy BL micro, comes even closer in price.

[Quacker]

OK. I suggest that we just wait together and see what pops out of the oven.

Q

[CastleQueen]

Why does your website show posts/articles dated 3/17/04 which is still a week in the future? I agree with WimH the Europeans have been there before any of the Americans.

That is just how advanced they are! I will fix it for them tonight, thanks for pointing that out.

[roccobro]

I think it's about time for some $30 BL controllers. For $25 ther is no need for upgrades, just replace and keep the spare.

[roccobro]

Did the revolution revolt or de-evolve? Oh well, back to loving my CC P-10!
