RC52. My Memory Having RC Car. My collection of ESC, Motor, Battery For My EP RC

To run a GP Car we need a Nitro Engine. How about EP RC. The main component ESC Electronic Speed Control to run two type of motor, Brush and Brushless. In early days around 1980 their using manual esc were control by servo. But the problem is when the battery weak the servo can't go back to 0 position. It stuck whare the last position. It keep power to the motor until battery flat. I have that experience when i try to use it, it need full power every time, alert all the time after few lap or long play.
Below i will show what type of ESC i am using when i first play with EP RC Tamiya TB01. Some i not sure what the specification. All my mostly for brush motor, never use brushless before soon
Also will show my electric parts for my EP RC. Motor, ect

The mechanical ESC

No 1. This come with my Tamiya TB01. I use it until the resistor damage over heat. Look at the end wire to resistor almost change form, the terminal all 4 modified bigger. Lately i recheck the units it still can use. But not going to use it. Because it need another servo to push the switch.

Using Servo to control the contact center black colour

Original pin is small, play until really hot until the connector damage. 

This position is Neutral.

This position low speed

This position full speed. Reverse the switch to rhs same low and high speed. 

Bottom view. No ic or electronic parts. All control by remote to receiver to move the servo then push the switch. That simple those earlier day use.

Go back and test after plug in using 7.2 Nimh battery smoke come out when switch is on, then remove parts, found 2 ic already burn early. Can't repair. But i just take the usable parts. It cheap anywhere.

This my 15 brush ESC. i buy from China threw Shoopee. From RoHc, BDESC-S10E-RTR, WATERPROOF,  Can take 5-9 Nimh and 2-3,Lipo. Made in China. I buy for Rm19, same product, some price from Rm21 - Rm50. I buy on 17/3/2020. Receive after 7 day. This product same company with My brushless ESC no 14.
I do some investigations on this product found out,

1. Is not a waterproof ESC but sticker is thare and they mention on their product sale.
2. The waterproof sticker upside down.
3. The sticker show the changing slot for Nimh and Lipo also upside down.
4. When i tested using 2s Lipo and i change the slot for lipo, Not yet on just plug in power supply, smoke come out, faster remove it. It damage the forward IC. Now steering and reverse ok. Later need modified to my toy grade rc.
5. All the wire have no seal glue to protect water going in,
6. The two screw below cover also no seal.

Let us learn some thing .
From Top

From side, size smaller nice 

The cod no, Waterproof, Made in China 

The upside down sticker for battery use and terminal.

The Wright position. But this small problem we can change it.

The waterproof sticker also upside down, need a mirror to see correct words. Small problem.

Big problem come they say waterproof with a big umbrella, look at the switch/power slot we can see the IC, whare the seal glue? one drop of water pfffffff that it.

This area from power supply and motor wire ware are the seal glue?

When using a touch light, u can see inside the circute board. No seal glue. 

Bottom view. Two screw tighten the bottom cover to top heat sheel. The screw should put seal glue. 

I remove the cover very easy. Look at the circuit board no seal at all.

i tough there a rubber seal at bottom cover, nothing 

The waterproof seal glue use in HSP ESC WP-1040.

Yes the product is cheap from Rm19 - Rm50. But be careful when perched product from China. If some new rc guys don't know that it waste money. Like me i just buy and have fun with it, still can function so i will be careful not playing in the water or rain. So far the best basic ESC for brush still HSP WP-1040. When buying a product from far they will advertise nicely when reach wala disappointed. Ok enjoy RC . Some thing to learn.

My No 16 brushless ESC. On 13/5/2020 some shop open after 2month +++, go to my normal shop whare they sale all the unclame parts from lazada customer. Found this ESC in box ask for price RM20 just grab it, a new ESC only without programe card. Market prices RM150++.
A 120A Sensorless Brushless ESC for 1/8 car, buggy or truck from Surpass Hobby, Higher speed lower Temperature, Waterproof. I try up without the motor ok still function. Only need to buy the motor below 3000kv. Can use 4S to 6s Lipo and 12 to 18 cells Nimh.
