Robitronic Micro Speed can handle a Plasmatomic motor in a GEN1 xmods ?

[Admin]

Hi guys, I’m new around here and I wanna know if the Robitronic Micro Speed esc, can handle a Plasmatomic motor which I’m going to put in a Gen1 xmod ?

The esc specs are:

Specification
? Input Voltage: 4 – 8 cells
? Forward, intelligent proportional brake and reverse operation
? “Smart detection” circuit for brake and reverse control
? Pre-wired with micro-style connectors for battery and motor
? Direct soldering tabs for easy rewiring
? Dimensions (of case): 22.7 x 22.5 x 5.9 mm
? Max. Current: 10 Amp
? Weight: 11g

HERE it’s the link to Robitronic details.

Thanks for your input !

Well on my mini-z :

I’m running a 35turn pn saber and it’s not even warm. So you should be fine. With a rating of 10A you may find the mosfets get warm, but not blow.

Thanks for answer…I’ll try first a 35T Hand wound in Atomic Can made by Maine-Iac-Motors and then if I’ll need more juice, I’ll upgrade to the Plasmatomic, but I wanted to be sure that I don’t need to upgrade the esc as well if I’m gonna change the motor !

Anyone has any feed back about that 35T Hand wound motor ?

If it’s from main-iac motors, then it’s most likely like the old 35t motors from minizworkshop. (they supply main-iac motors).

It’s a good motor with lots of torque. A respectable high speed too. Although not as fast as the Pn Anima, but close!

Current drain under no load is approx 600mA – 800mA @ 2.4V.

One thing though. I have noticed just recently under lipoly power and a 27turn motor that the Robitronic seems to “dump” the power prematurely, so I’m a bit concerned on it’s performance under higer voltage (> 4 cells) setups.

See more info in my 40Mhz FM thread….

cheers,

Thanks, I read the other thread… in the meantime I found another small esc, a bit too pricey…you know something about it ?
