Is anyone using the Associated a.i. super reverse esc? I picked one up and installed it in my AX10. The thing is glitchy. When turning, the throttle won't work. On acceleration, there is a severe lag in the power.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

what radio and servo are you using. also what motor?

x2, plus, are you using a BEC to power the servo, or relying on the ESC to provide the juice?

I believe the internal BEC in the AI's is at 5v 1.2a (2.0a for 30sec MAX)

BILLYGOAT · 08-26-2009, 02:16 PM

the bec on the ai isnt enough depending on servo. i had the same issue at one point and a ccbec cured it . but all the other info may be helpfull.

Sorry about that, I am running:
55T Axial crawling motor or a 15T Fireball bashing motor
I have an HPI TX-2 radio and the stock AXIAL RTC receiver and Servo
6 or 7 cell NiMh Battery

Forgive my ignorance but I am not an electronics guy, BEC? CCBEC?

Thanks

So figured out BEC and CCBEC.

However, the stock axial has a 5v BEC as well and it does not have issues.

AX10 came with the AE-1 ESC. It is 5v 1a.
Not sure what to tell you.
I have an AI Runner Rev, and needed a BEC just to run a Hitec 645 servo.
Before that I had the same thing you describe, as it would stop fwd motion as you turned.

Well I just ordered a CCBEC.

When the steering is unloaded (aka I am holding it in the air) Forward and Reverse works fine. So that makes sense, it is drawing too much.

Where are you at - Houghton Mi?
No LHS up there?

I buy most things used, but LHS in Holland Mi. has CC BEC for $24 out the door.
Before I bought my CC link, he would even program it for me.

Default out of the box is 5.1v. It's good to go.
If anybody you run with has a castle link, they could set it up to 6v for you, which is safe for almost all servo's, so you could squeeze a little more torque out of the servo.

ihcj9 · 08-26-2009, 08:23 PM

Nope, no LHS up here. Stuck ordering everything from ebay or towerhobbies or where ever. Shouldn't need to program it 5.1 is enough for bashing and recreational crawling.

Thanks for the help

Just an update. I got the CCBEC installed and working. Works great.

Thanks to all who helped.
