Heavyweight ESC's

[mattsdragons]

hi all

ive been looking at various specs of robots and ive seem a few different esc's used such as wotty 360, wotty 180, roboteq, sidewinder, 4qd etc

ive tried to find out prices and amp ratings of there and ive had success with some but not so much with others

it will sound tight wad (mainly since i am ) but i need to balance efficiency with cost but i really dont know what to go for since there is just so much choice so what could you recommend me?

Depends on what motors and gearratio/wheeldiameter you're using.

[mattsdragons]

260mm wheels on bosch 400w (probably) but not sure on reduction yet

[maddox10]

Bosch 400 3400rpm@12V 50A

5100 RPM@18V.

13 or 14/1 gearratio

Sidewinder will do nicely.

[mattsdragons]

they seem about the cheapest esc for hw's on the market

[maddox10]

They were, but Robotpower doesn't make 'm that cheap anymore.

[mattsdragons]

best ove found is £265 + p+p, know of any cheaper

[maddox10]

That was the old new-pricetag. $299.

Unfortunatly, Robotpower make's em on order now, and that's $499 the last time I looked it up.

[mattsdragons]

ive fiound them for $399 on robot market place
