ESC only has 2 wires to motor
I was surfing the internet and thought I found a deal that was too good to be true. And... of course it was. The turnigy 20A esc I bought I am now noticing says Brushed. Ouch. So my quick question is whether I could ever get a Brushed ESC to work on a Brushless motor. I'm guessing no.

You are guessing correctly, Grasshopper.

How good was this deal, exactly?
Unless they were paying you to take the ESC off your hands, I can't see how you could get much cheaper than the ~20A brushless ESCs already on the market. Keep the brushed one, though. You can use it to run lights or other things on your planes that need controllable direct current. I've used an 18A brushed ESC to run a bunch of LEDs on a foam flying wing. Turned them on and off with the flap switch. Awesome

If you're into building with foam brushed ESCs are quite useful for making hotwire cutters too. Battery, ESC, servo tester and a length of wire and you're pretty much there

I saw a killer deal on a brushed motor ESC on eBay today. It is a new Turborix 25A brushed ESC for less than $8 shipped:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150895955533? Those are great for making hot wire cutters, running variable voltage LED lighting systems, and things like that. Add a cheap servo tester to it and that will let you vary the voltage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271015602137? Jack |
