Which esc's have double pump reverse?

[egdinger]

I'm having trouble figuring it out, and I need a new esc. I like the double pump reverse style, that is where the first push of the trigger is breaks for as long as you need it, then the second push is reverse. I know the futabas do, but seening as my last one just dies for no reason, I'm not buying another one.

the novak super duty has it, and I love it.

If you are running a TLT this ESC works well and is cheap and has the double pump reverse you are looking for;

Another advantage is it has a lead from the ESC to the BATT terminal on the receiver so the servo gets more juice. I don't know how well it would work on a heavy rig with 4WS though. I'm just running a TLT with a lathe motor and front steering only.

Davkin, I'm pretty sure it is made by futaba, so I'm not buying it.

moonbuggy, that is a bit of overkill for a tlt, or any crawler in general :-P

Anyone know how the reverse on this works? I like the fact that it's water proof.

i kno my no Ai quantum reverse didnt have the double pump thing.... also it somehow fried with a late motor in a stock tlt... :? it was weird... thankfully i hand another esc layin around... ALSO water prooof IS ALWAYS A GOOOD thing.

[egdinger]

That doesn't sound like a very good esc if it fried on a tlt w/ a lathe. Did they warenty it? What kind of reverse did it have?

[romeo26]

the novak xrs has it!!
works great

What makes you think that? It doesn't look like any Futaba ESC I've ever seen. I have had no trouble with it either after many hours of crawling. The only issue has been the connector to the Batt terminal has been hard to keep in, but then I realized it came with an adapter, no problems now.

the novak xrs has it!!

I've heard reports of it frying on mild motors, though it should be fine with a lathe motor. I have one in my XC with a drill motor but I haven't run it more than a couple hours or so.

Ok I have to chime in I got the quantum reverse and it lasted all of 2min before reverse went south. Running a tlt comp with a 55lathe 6cel and a 5645 hitec Only thing I can figure is the late pulled more than the esc can take for amps. 5min continous is only 30amps Or the servo killed it.
But just maybe it was a freakish flaw in the particular unit??
Personaly I loved its size and weight. A super chicken bothered me with ist 4oz (3times heavier than most reverseable esc) Its girth and horrible wire management.
BEC current on most lrp is 2amps Im sure enough for 1 servo vs the superchickens 3amps ( 5v vs 6v respectavily)

funny thing is my crusty LRP F1 Power runs my set up just fine even with a 8cel half A pack

you keep mentioning your Futaba ESC conking out on you ... which model is it? MC230 or 330?

[egdinger]

The 330.

[v33]

good to know ... though i have 2 MC330 and have no problems using it.

This doesn't answer your question, but in reference to esc's frying for no reason you have to look at the Amps in forward/reverse the esc put out. If you are constantly getting in a bind and nearing torque stall on these motors you could possibly be drawing Amps than your esc can handle.

[Davkin]

That's true. You can fry any ESC if you get in a bind and just hold the throttle open for at least a few seconds.
