So I took a gamble and purchased one of those generic GoolRC esc, this one being one of the newer design cases 6s/150a to give my granite voltage more rpms.
-Out of the box, no manual so now I believe this esc has locked typical default settings! Luckily found out how to set endpoints with the set button.
-It felt unusually lightweight compared to the 4s SC8 hobbywing unit coming out, within 10g of each other trying to neglect ‘wires’. Suspicion that something was already off with this generic.
-The stupid thing needed 6mm bullets!
-The final straw was that simply swapping out esc, my top speed fell down to 43 mph where as my old SC8 4s got to 57!
Performance is so conservatively mild!!! Have to make up speed with the extra voltage but there goes all that potential lost out of the gate!
Now to be fair it does run ‘ok’ and can punch wheelies from low and there’s minimal cogging so at least the hardware is ‘modern’.
No wonder $50!!! I should of spend a lil more, ughhh ?
Tl;dr bought a basement level generic esc!!! It’s true, pony up for a nice esc and you can go cheap on the motor. It really make a performance difference even at the same voltage level!
... now to initiate block point 3.0 chassis revision and push this pos esc to its 25v potential! Hoping it doesn’t start a fire!!?
