Re: What esc do i need?
You could try one of these
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...C_NO_BEC_.html I've had good luck with their products. You really should measure the full load current as you may be drawing a lot more amps than you realize. |

Re: What esc do i need?
you need to make a (free) account but check this out:
http://fightercatracing.com/index.ph...emart&Itemid=1 300A ESC on sale for 63$, you can't get much better than that! You could also check out a t180 or t120 (turnigy, hobbywing, they're all the same ESC). |

Re: What esc do i need?
I bought a seeking 120amp & i cant program it. I plug the battery in & i get 4 beeps, the instructions tell me it is either reading the battery & telling me its a 4cell or in the trouble shooting guide it tells me over voltage. ? I measured voltage 16.84. ?

Re: What esc do i need?
Turn your tx on and hold it a full throttle (get someone to help you if it's a pistol radio), then plug in the ESC, you should get a series of beeps. after these beeps, return the throttle to what you want to be the zero position, middle for a pistol grip or bottom (usually) for a stick radio.
