Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner Morning Lads. recently I have been playing with some Outrunners, and they are pretty cool. I would really like to get a new ESC and so im after some ideas. I am after - An ESC that is waterproof(negotiable) - An ESC that is 4s capable - Must be able to handle a 12 pole motor - MUST BE SMOOOOOOTH for sensorless outrunner. I realise that the Mamba X is an option, I already have one of these, so for other options COME AT ME! thanks team. |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner I think you've already found the best solution with the MambaX. The other 4s(+) capable esc's I've run (Hobbywing WP SC8, Hobbywing SCT pro, Hobbywing XR8, Hobbywing Max10, and an old Novak) non-sensored have had piss poor start up by comparison. I'm sure others will chime in with a broader range of experiences. |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner SW4 That’s what JRH used on his test Hang up and Drive |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner SW4 is great but maxes out at 3s |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner Mine's running a Mamba X, personally I wouldn't use another... got to love the Aux Wire feature - that's what sells it as far as I'm concerned. |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner I've got a spektrum dx5r transmitter, and the mamba x, but never worked out how to use the auxiliary wire Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk |

On my two speed I get 10% high gear then low 50% and with a click of my channel I get 100%, basically race/crawler mode. Works amazing and would have to say Mamba X is my favorite esc do to auxiliary cable. Sent from my EML-L29 using Tapatalk |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner Quote:
Since mine is priced in-between all those you tested, either it's programming is very different or your settings need refinement (radio/esc). I only did my tests with default ESC settings, which are probably sub-par. 11.25deg timing and 5/9 punch setting. I know few ppl try expo settings, which can have a huge impact and the MambaX could be programmed to emulate expo. Compared to the cheap stuff I first tried in my SCT racer (SC10.2), this esc is night & day. They would cog like crazy and had no low-speed to speak of. It's similar to the sensored ESC I have in it now. |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner To clarify, I have NOT tried any of those esc's with an outrunner, only your typical 4 pole 36mm inrunner. I know it's hardly fair to compare sensored/sensorless or outrunner/inrunner, but even my old Castle SCT (sensorless) had smoother startup than the 4s capable esc's I listed... but again, it can only run 3s. I'm following along here because I have similar goals as the OP, though I'll be trying my Mamba Micro X with 3s (that's all it can handle) and an outrunner before buying a new esc. I haven't ruled out the no-name 1450kv 3542's, but I think the 1800kv Revolver on 3s might get me close enough if it can pull a little taller gearing than my current 1080/27t 550. |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner Fair enough, I'd presume it would take less refinement to make a 14-pole outrunner vs a 4-pole inrunner. I do have an older Sidewinder v3 and a Castle 1410 inrunner I can compare it to. I initially bought this ESC to convert an Exo Terra into a 4S snow basher, but it's smoother than I thought it would be. My goal is to make a vid showing the power/speed/smoothness difference between brushed & outrunner with GPS data & a weighted sled, but my Wraith is still under some construction. |
Re: Waterproof Sensorless ESC able to handle 4S for Outrunner I'm running the 1400kv out runner on my castle sct, sidewinder v3. It's pretty good. Just very slow and shreeks like a banshee... It is a unique set up and I quite like it. Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk |
