Toro 8s ESC?
Any one used one of these? I'm tempted but I can't find any information about them anywhere. See link below...

i wouldn't buy something that i couldn't get support for.
|
I did find it on skyrc.com. Sort of. There's a pic of it on their ESC page, along with other similar looking ESC's.
I'm not too worried about support. This is a bit of an experiment for me. I'm going to see how good the cheap Chinese stuff is. |
That is if I can't find decent used tekin/viper/etc.
|
If your in the US you should buy a HobbyWing Xerun 150amp for pretty much the same price through Falcon Sekido. You get a 180 warranty from them.
|
Yeah, but those HW ESC's only have a 3 amp BEC.
|
3amps is pretty standard, and should handle most servo needs. You can always get an external bec.
|
Why tack on an external BEC when you could get an ESC with a stronger BEC?

Because even a 6v, 5 amp BEC is not enough for 1/8th scale. I personally run a Castle 10 amp BEC at around 7.2v. Faster and stronger servos.

It sounds like you kinda have your mind made up and are looking for justification to try the toro. I think there is a guy that is trying to rep toro/skyrc here on the boards a little more.
Buy it, test it, and let us know. Ever now and then we get lucky with something new that pops up. |

It is supposed to be the same thing (more or less) as the TS 150a, just lacking the bluetooth programing capabilities. And it is a new product, that's why I can't find information on it. |
I could be wrong, but it sure looks like that Toro TS 150a is a knock-off of an Orion R8.

Well, I was all ready to dip my toe into the experimental pool... But then I found a used VTX8 from a reputable seller. Oh we'll, maybe I'll try a knock-off motor instead.
