What happened to Brushed ESCs?
I wanted to make a HZ super cub from parts, and wanted to keep it with the stock brushed motor. So i was looking around for a 20-30 amp brushed ESC, but i found very few that were actually in stock. i found this from hobbyking.
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/s...USHED_ESC.html but is there any place i can get one in the states for a reasonable price (~$10-15)? it seems like all there is is just brushless stuff, but i want to keep the super cub as close to stock as possible. THanks |

Tower Hobbies has the Great Planes Electrifly Series; 7, 12, 25, 35 and 55 all with BECs and Li-Po ready with this statement:
Low Voltage Cutoff: 0.80V per cell for NiCd/NiMH 2.75V per cell for LiPo Easy to find. Just do a search on Tower Hobbies for brushed ESC Here's an example: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKBF6&P=7 |

Some HK brushed ESC are OK with lipo. The vast majority of them will work but the LVC is poor. Read the specs-GWS is awful, electrifly is poor, and even Castle ain't good at all.

You shouldn't fly to cutoff anyway. It's not good for the battery, and you risk not having enough maneuverability to make a good landing. Better to time your flights and come in with plenty to spare. Treat the LVC as an emergency device that prevents loss of radio control if something goes wrong (eg. you forgot to charge the battery).
Some of my models still have old controllers that don't do Lipo cutoff. I just make sure the battery is fully charged before each flight, and have a countdown timer linked to the throttle. Quote:
