SkippyUK Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I've got to get a new ESC for my 64mm EDF but being an EDF newbie, wondered if there's any particular type or indeed setting that should be used with EDF motors. They are obviously high Kv motors so presumably need high speed switching and maybe different timing. 1. Anyone recommend a reasonably priced ESC with BEC in the 40-60 Amp range that can be programmed for EDF 2. What settings are suitable for a 64mm EDF. Any help or advice appreciated.

Tim Mackey Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well, although its true that some motors can be fussy about which ESC they are married to, most will simply "plug-N-play". When you start getting up to the higher power units ( 2Kwatt + ) timing becomes more critical, with high timing generally producing highest performance, but at the cost of higher currents. As you are only using a small fan, and looking at a 40- 60A esc, then that suggests low power to me, so just get a basic ESC and enjoy. THIS would suit I think. I have used many Pentium ESCs over the years, and found them fine. Edited By Tim Mackey on 04/06/2013 23:26:31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyUK Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thanks Tim & Stuey, it's on order now. I'd seen the speed reference on the Pentium data which is what, in part, prompted the original question. Skippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
