I just ordered a MOPED (the red one). I'll let you guys know how it works out.

after looking around on ebay for Moped ESC's like yours, I noticed that the two higher end models (V16 Super and V16 Plus, as opposed to the V16R which you purchased) mention that they use Hexfet technology... eg, MOSFETs from International Rectifier: http://www.irf.com while they don't mention using hexfets on the V16R, it would be intersting to see what they -did- use, especially if it could be looked up on IR's website... so would you be interested in prying the cover off of your ESC, and either taking high-res pics so we can read the Part#'s off of the mosfets, or just typing up all the part#'s yourself? it would be pretty interesting to see what it can actually handle... the motor current specs they list on ebay aren't exactly useful. thanks... i'm sorely tempted to buy one of these things to play with, i'll probably break down and do it soon... so if you don't fancy opening up your ESC, don't sweat it. on another note, in that newbie thread where you posted recomending this ESC.. I think you linked to the wrong one.. you linked to the 1/18 scale version, not the version you have in your pictures. |

I was looking at that also. This is what I got from the ebay listings. Moped V16r Specs. (Forward/Reverse) Input Voltage: 4.8v-8.4v (4-7cells) "ON" resistance: 0.00056 OHM Impulse Current of MOSFET: 70A PWM Frequency: 2k - 4KHz BEC output voltage: 5.0v (2A) V16 Plus. Specs. (Forward/Reverse) RDS in OHM at 25* C: 0.000032 Impulse Current of MOSFET: 1980A PWM frequency: 2KHz - 4KHz Turns for 10 - 36 turns motor BEC output voltage: 5.0V (3A) And the V16r Super (Forward only) Same as the Plus. But it doesn't have reverse. |

alright, let me see if I can sort out the different models... it looks like there are 4 different models currently on ebay, they are a little difficult to sort out really, not a good naming scheme at all.. here goes: Model - V16R 1/18 Scale Specifications - "ON" resistance: 0.00056 ohm Impulse current of MOSFET: 70A PWM frequency: 2K-4KHZ BEC output voltage: 5.0V (2A) Forward/brake/reverse Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6047224953 Model - Bravo V16R Specifications - (RDS ON) in OHM at 25 °C: 0.000032 Impulse Current of MOSFET's:1980A PWM Frequency:2KHz - 4KHz Turns: For 10 - 36 Turns Motor BEC O/P Voltagee: 5.0V (3A) Forward/brake/reverse Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6048184094 Model - Super V16 Specifications - (RDS ON) in OHM at 25 °C: 0.000032 Impulse Current of MOSFET's:1980A PWM Frequency:2KHz - 4KHz Turns: For 8 - 36 Turns Motor BEC O/P Voltagee: 5.0V (3A) Forward/Brake Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5972444587 Model - Plus V16 Specifications - (RDS ON) in OHM at 25 °C: 0.000028 Impulse Current of MOSFET's: 2350A PWM Frequency:2KHz - 4KHz Turns: For 7 - 36 Turns Motor BEC O/P Voltagee: 5.0V (3A) Forward/Brake Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5972565894 alright, so having had to get all that together, i now see the pattern.. i hadn't noticed earlier, but the two ESC's I was calling "higher end" are actually both forward only. all the reversable ESC's have "R" on the end of their name.. duh... so it's just: V16R = 1/18 scale w/ only 70A Bravo V16R = normal reversing ESC w/ higher amps and: Super V16 = normal forward only Plus V16 = better forward only @Double_J: make sure are looking at the actual names on the ESC's in the pictures.. the auction titles are misleading. @dezfan: thanks, links are above of course.. turns out there are no higher end models (at least for crawling purposes), just forward/brake ESCs. should definitly be intersting to see what you come up with when you open yours. if these things can handle some abuse, I may pick up 2 (of the one you got) in order to run a pair of 10 or 12 turn modifieds... i did notice that this seems to be the same size as novak's XRS Reversible Sport, which boasts -much- lower specs.. including both amperage (40A) and turn limit (15t)... anyway, sorry for the long post, hope someone finds the specs above useful. |

UPDATE: Another full day on the rocks and it's working like a charm! This is a great little ESC at this point! |

so with this delay business, how does the "smart braking" on the features list figure into the delay?

Hmm, thanks I am going to run this also, It will be easy to put into a smaller tray from radioshack too. Very good for scalers too.

thanks. oh, and while i'm here... a mildly interesting turn of events: http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/defaul...ort=1a&&page=2 about 2/3 of the way down the page, RC Mart (based in HK btw) has both the "Bravo" and the "1/18" models... so people who dislike ebay could order from there I suppose, although you'll pay a few dollars more. The important thing is that RC Mart lists the Bravo (red) model as 125A, which seems much more realistic, and a more usefull number. @cockeyed00... you should probably have looked it up yourself, especially since there are now several easy to follow links in this thread, but according to the specs listed in most places, they handle 4-7 cells. | |
