I saw some of the local set ups and no one is really using this motor (yet). I'm on a medium (sub $100) budget so the Hobbywing V3 or LRP Flow are not possible. Can anyone recommend an ESC from HK?
The battery I plan on using is a NanoTech 4200 65C shorty.
Last I noticed that the claimed max current is 28A. Having an ESC with 100A sure would be nice but does anyone run with less?
Specs:
Can Size: 540
Turns: 17.5
RPM/v: 2270kv
Sensored: Yes (Standard 6 pin harness)
Max voltage: 7.4 (2S)
Max Current: 28A
Max Watts: 190w
Can Diameter: 36mm
Can Length: 53mm
Shaft Size: 3.175mm
Weight: 177g
I have been using these for quite some time, i have them in 45,60 and 100A versions and they have performed flawlessly.

Add in this program cars, especially if you are running in a blinky class to show that you are using no timing, or just to make changes to all the other parameters.
