ESC recommendations

[team death]

It's interesting that experienced Roboteers are against fan cooled
ESC's and there are more expensive fan cooled ESC's on the market
uk/vyper-120a-dc-motor-controller.html at £200 + so I guess they
are not fit for purpose either?.
Whats most intriguing is that team Katch have a heavyweight Robot
up and running/ driving around with a relatively cheap ESC and unlike
myself-it didn't go bang when they plugged it in (different ESC ) and
also you have to applaud the testing at higher voltages.
And if you do requests can you try on 2 lipo 4s in series perhaps trying
to tow a car-I can loan you the batteries and if it's ok with this, mine
will be on order the next day.

I think they have enough experience to be openly concerned for other builders. Who have not yet put up cash..

I on the other hand already spent the cash so I do need to overcome the potential issues so help is more useful now.

The offer for lipo is cool . what area are you in Colin.

The Vyper uses a actual heatsink where the Cytron just blows onto the mosfets.

I also believe the Vyper has bean used in combat bots both into the US and UK. (I might incorrect on this)
