It has more than double the amps! How can you lose!
At the moments I have bought the brushless tz85a and hacked it myself.
I'm going to order a few more as well as the plush30a.
They are brilliant speed controllers for the money. They are very precise in controll, especially around the enter of the sticks. The built I braking makes them good aswell, but you may not want that if you are using it as a lifter esc, but sadly you cannot change that without reprogramming them.
I think thy are better than the electronizes( electronizes are still good though!) so they would win me over as they have a better switch over time,built in bec and and more precise and very responsive and can take 55 more continuous amps and 60 more burst amps(110a burst).
Why not just use switches and relays to control the lifter?
Matt doesn't use limit switches, or torque limiters, he just slams it up and down and knows that it has plenty of travel before it'll reach it's mechanical limits.
I want better drive motor control!
I tried a bang-bang speed controller for laser 1 and that didnt work well. it didnt even have limit switches.Originally Posted by PJ-27
Laser2's lifter system is a lot better with a proper esc and limit the swithces.
The next gen of Laser will have a giant lifter motor run off a tz85a and have better limit switches.
Limit switches and a decent esc are a must for lifters if you ever want to win a fight
Our lifter won't have limit switches, just a 30a ESC. I think it'll be too fast for limit switches to make much sense really. If I'm careful it should be fine.
The Electronize drive ESCs are just a bit simple in their approach. They work flawlessly, and for the money, when we bought them, nothing came close to as good. They make fantastic learning ESCs. I fear if we had gone for something more delicate, we'd have lost it in a puff of smoke somewhere along the line. :P
I am hoping the 85s will offer greater flexibility for future projects, and they'll bring Tormenta 2 into the contender-range drive wise. The drive power is definitely there, despite being only drills. Hopefully, if I can learn to drive like a human, some better ESCs will do it justice.
ESCheap85s have been ordered!
Not a massive update but quite a significant one, tonight we got much of the lifter and shaft business built permanently. No welding involved, it can all be taken apart. We reckon it's strong enough. :wink:

All together it weighs about 47kgs.
47kgs? Gonna struggle to get that in weight
Nah, there's a good 17kg in the batteries alone. :P
