Giantcod Test Result
This is an ideal brushless controller for lightweight indoor models, or those plastic fantastic Depron designs for outdoor park flying. The ESC is rated at 10 amps and has some programmable features. It has BEC facility delivering a maximum of 1 amp which is adequate for up to 4 micro servos. Tests were carried out in flight whilst installed onto a “Butterfly” indoor model airframe. The model has a small Typhoon brushless motor fitted with a 9x6 slow propeller and a 1000ma 2S Li-po pack supplying power.
The model was thrashed around at full throttle for quite some time until the batteries charge was nearing exhaustion. In free air the ESC showed no signs of heating up at all despite the lack of aluminium heat-sink on this unit (presumably left off to reduce weight). This little device really is as cheap as chips, especially considering the cost of the original controller removed from the model for testing. A few years back the motor and ESC combination in the test model cost around £60.
It would be reasonable to say that this ESC represents amazing value for money, and appears to be robust, all for less than a fiver.
