Has anyone seen/heard of AE-2 ESC? Hello, I received my AX-10 RTC in the mail today and got to looking at the ESC. Instead of the AE-1, it arrived with an AE-2 advertising lipo-cutoff and drag brake. When I first turned it on, I heard a familiar beeping sequence. It sounded exactly like my CC Sidewinder. I got curious and plugged the AE-2 into my CastleLink and was amused to see a new program set come up. Although the settings were limited, it allows for a change in lipo cutoff, drag brake, reverse lockout, etc. All basics, but still great. Got to looking and even Axial has NO information on this ESC. No site that I know of offers it for sale and forum searches have brought up nothing. Does anyone have specs on this at all? |
Damn, I got gyped :ror:. If the castle link will bring up programing, it might be based on a Sidewinder, and just dumbed down for cheaper sale. Axial has been making some changes lately with the 2.4 radios and now this, what's next a good servo too? |
im sure it would be very similar to the sidewinder if the castlelink work with it |

maybe they will have a 200+ oz servo and come with a alluminum arm ;-) |
My new RTC came with the AE-2 as well. I really like it. I also went to the Axial web site to look up info on it and came up empty handed. |
Some one post some pics of it....please? Casey |
Good to see Axial stepping up and fix the biggest problem on their RTR trucks. "thumbsup" |

Sorry it took a while, but here are the pics of the unit and screens of the CastleLink linked to it. Main screen http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...axialcover.png Basic Settings http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...axialbasic.png Software version, only one. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...alsoftware.png Looks exactly like a Sidewinder http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00117.jpg Side View http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00116.jpg You can see the spot in the case where it would have a third wire soldered for brushless. Sadly, the board is different inside, so it won't accept another wire. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00118.jpg |
wow nice pic's, i'd like to try and get a hold of one or 2 of these to try em out. |
Thanks, fred0000. Sadly, as I said before, there's no information and I have yet to find them for sale. Quote:

Also, I just got an email from Axial. I requested specs for the AE-2 and they were kind enough to send it to me. The part number is AX-24259. All searches with the new-found part number came up empty-handed, just as before. Since I'm not able to attach anything, I have to post a screenshot of the PDF they sent: http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...n1/escae-2.jpg .....and they still haven't updated their site with this info. I hope this helps. Now that I have some info, I've made the decision to save myself 100 bucks for a new Sidewinder and just stick with the AE-2. For being stock, I feel it's a pretty good piece. |
