Can it run brushed or brushless

JohnRobHolmes · 08-25-2010, 05:03 AM

Noted about the issue you had with throttle points, I will check into it.

This one is just brushed, as the thread title states.

Everyone seems to be divided on this issue, so I'll defer to the expert...

Would the onboard BEC in the BRXL be enough to run a Hitec 7950?

Here are the stats from Servocity:
Idle Current Drain (4.8V): 9mA at stop
Idle Current Drain (6.0V): 9mA at stop
Current Drain (4.8V): 220mA/idle and 3.8 amps at lock/stall
Current Drain (6.0V): 300mA/idle and 4.8 amps at lock/stall

Seems like @ 6v it will be pushing that BEC pretty hard...

JohnRobHolmes · 08-30-2010, 10:07 AM

Yeah, that is right on the edge of it. If you will be competing, I would suggest that you have another BEC for prosperity. For tooling around the yard, not so critical as you can always pick up a BEC if the need arises.

I've been using both the BR-XL and the HiTec 7950, and their 5245 servo with a 3S lipo battery with zero problems.

quick question on these and a bec, running duals, do I remove the red wires on both esc's?

JohnRobHolmes · 08-30-2010, 05:02 PM

If you want an external BEC to power the servos and RX, yes you would remove the red wires on the ESC rx wire. Otherwise, you can run the internal BECs in parallel with each other with no problems.

Just checking to see if you have found what went wrong or where I went wrong the the ESC I sent back to you.

Thanks,

Chris

Anything yet?

JohnRobHolmes · 09-02-2010, 06:15 PM

What is your name, or some part of your contact info?

primus2010 · 09-02-2010, 08:28 PM

Chris Berge, order # 5352, ordered on the 13th of August, shipped back and received on your end August 26th.

Thanks

JohnRobHolmes · 09-02-2010, 08:31 PM

Probably already going your way, I will confirm in the morning.

primus2010 · 09-03-2010, 11:49 AM

That's cool, not trying to rush you or anything, just trying to get a workable schedule going. That ESC is the last piece of the puzzle for my TTC build and want to ensure I can get some good test and tune in before the big event in October.

Thanks,

Chris

JohnRobHolmes · 09-03-2010, 11:52 AM

Looks like it is still here, my mistake. Today's mail run has already come and gone, so I will get your package back to you in tomorrow's mail. Thanks for the patience!

primus2010 · 09-03-2010, 12:02 PM

No sweat, I know how hectic things can be. I've got a back up ESC for the time being to get some runs in. Thanks for the update!

chicostaxxs007 · 09-05-2010, 02:28 PM

is this the ecs that comes in $109. combo?if it is will that motor do good when wet?thanks

primus2010 · 09-05-2010, 04:54 PM

It is, I've had that motor deep in the mud and water, as long as you do preventive maintenance you shouldn't have any problems, but running them in silty water and mud can reduce their lifespan.

ManiacMagoo · 09-06-2010, 10:08 AM

Hey John I have a new BR-XL that I could get to calibrate but it work for a short period once I adjusted sub trims to keep it from spinning the motor in reverse. Now it lights up and the led's act like it is functioning normal but there is power going in and with a volt meter nothing coming out of the motor outputs. My other BR-XL works like a champ though.

Bcampisi · 09-06-2010, 11:01 AM

Ordered one of these for my XR10

Flyin Hawaiian · 09-07-2010, 04:38 PM

Is it ok to run 2 esc with the reds wire connected and no external bec. will it up the amps? Will it work fine or should i just use a External bec to be safe?
