Hi, I been trying to find a voltage regulator with a high amp rating but no luck. Does anyone know of a voltage regulator that can handle about 40 or 50 amps. voltage from 6v to 36v or similar Thanks. |

Are you inquiring about an ESC or a BEC ? 50 amp speed controllers (ESC) are easily found... And they regulate/supply voltage to the motor. Which has the highest amp draw, tho' not usually 50amps unless you put it in a bind and hold the throttle down forever. A battery eliminator circuit(BEC) voltage regulator can offer a 10 amps regulator and is usually more then enough amperage for servos or other accessories. So what exactly are you inquiring about ? Why do you feel you need a 50A regulator ? |

I am trying to find one adjustable voltage regulator to have it installed between the battery and the esc to adjust the output volt on the fly, but the ones I have seen have small current rating of about 10amp. Thanks. | |

Every ESC I know has it's own built in regulator. Limiting the voltage to being too low for the ESC's demand could be of issue I'd think. Why not just get a quality transmitter that has dual rate settings that can regulate (on the fly) how much power is wanted/used ? Guess I'm still not understanding what exactly your intent /or purpose is. Maybe someone else has a better understanding of what you're attempting. As I've never needed wire things up this way. | |

I guess this may be the closest thing I can think of: CC BEC PRO 20A MAX OUTPUT, 12S (50.4 VOLTS) MAX INPUT SWITCHING REGULATOR read the specs - I would think it would handle more than your requirements, still not very expensive - less than $37... |

I just want to be able to adjust the output voltage so that way the kid wont destroy the gearboxes. Is for a ride on that I would install a 24v battery, but I figure I ask here in case someone know of good quality adjustable voltage reg. The one I found have low amp ratings like this one https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Voltage-...tage+regulator but now that you mention it I might try the dual rate/expo on a computer radio and see how to make it r/c.

I might try the radio option and see how that goes unless someone know of one volt reg like the one I am looking. | ||

Why not just adjust endpoints on your radio so that you limit max throttle when your kid drives? I did that for my little ones for the first couple of years on any rig they drove. It's easy and very effective.
