Morning all :thumbs_up:

Well about 2 weeks ago, my mate mark got a cheap but nice car from tim :clap: :thumbs_up:



Its mark's 1st RC car and he was very pleased with it, hard not to be when doing deals with tim :thumbs_up:

But one thing we knew we would want to change is the msc and put a esc in, my mate is always skint, so we knew the only way he was gonna get a esc is if he got a used one or if we found a bargain on ebay..

After a look around on ebay i found some esc's from hong kong that we could get for £10 delivered, i was not sure at first but then thought, sod it, for only a tenner lets give them a try.

I ordered one and it was here within a week, my first thoughts on the esc was hmm looks ok but im kinda seeing why it was so cheap, but still looks like a good deal for a tenner but ill make my mind up once ive tried it out..

The only thing that kinda confused me and lets face it, thats not that hard to do :lol: the heatsink comes off very easy then so does the rubber guard but im sure this is for a reason,? lol..





I have noticed that you can buy some esc's that dont have the heatsinks and rubber bit on, they come with the silver metal bits showing and some have none at all, my next post is about all that, lol so before i get side tracked, does this esc come apart so easy for a reason?

Arhh but the best is yet to come B)

So after thinking about the heatsink for a good few minutes :lol: i thought it was time to try it out. WOW for the money it is great it works very well, its a plug and play esc with no setup needed, it has very smooth action and has some cool sounds as well when you turn it on,lol :lol:

All in all i was very pleased with it for the money and more importantly it worked well..



Now my mates car is sorted time to get mine done,lol how about this for sods law, the day after my other mate fluffs up my esc, this esc gets delivered,lol such a shame it cant handle a 19T motor..

HAPPY RC-ING ALL :thumbs_up: :rc_car:

:cool2: wouldn't be my choice but hey its done the job :thumbs_up:

Yep, it would probably last a Couple of Minutes in My use, but hey... It was a Tenner, Not £135 !!!!!!

The Easy wasy to keep that Heatsink on (and the way it's Always done) is, just tap the Ends with something, so it Slightly Bends the Outer Lugs.... Job Done.

And the Reason yours is like that and Not like Mine (i.e. No Heatsinks), is Because as Already stated, you could Buy 13.5 of Those for 1 of Mine...

You Pays your Money and Takes Your Choice..

Bear in mind, I Race, hence the 'Extravagence'


:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

Always worht a punt, for a tenner!!! and cool when it pays off!!! :clap: :thumbs_up:

+1 :thumbs_up: :clap: :thumbs_up:

Thanks guys, yeh for a tenner we are very pleased with it :clap:

pitty i need to spend £50 ish for my new LRP esc and cant buy one of these :lol:

LRP = £15

:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

lol tim is that yours mate :banana_jump: is it 15 quid posted? :clap:

buy it :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

oh guys heres a giggle for you :lol: :lol:

i messaged the seller for these esc's the day before yesterday, asking if these esc's can be run with 23 and 27t stock motors or can they also be run with a 23 and 27t modified motors..

hmmm, the seller messaged back saying these esc's can work with brushless 5.5T motors.. OMFG he must be talking crap, the seller has sold 1000's and has a great feedback so i cant fault him there dam, he must be wrong about the esc..

well i may just get one more of these esc's for a cheap backup spare, but when i get it i may wake it on the most powerful motor i have to see if it dies.lol

sounds good :lol:

brought one ages ago, so i know he wasnt saying it to sell me one, hmm unless he wanted me to buy shed loads of them,lol

well the esc does work great on stock 27 turn motors, so thats all i care about :lol:

Cheap, and it does the job....that makes it perfect!!! :clap: :thumbs_up:
