Mystery ESC

Right chaps, heres another one for you...........

Is there any way of finding out the size (Amp) of a mystery, unmarked ESC without melting it?

New motors (see Andy and Tim - I do know what im talking about really! ), props and Watt meter has arrived safely, but would like to know the size of the mystery ESC on this foamie before I start sorting out the power train.
I can replace it easily enough with a known size one, but would just like to know how big this mystery one is!

Cheers for your help again!

Umm, not easily. You could perhaps look up the markings on the Fets, and dig out their datasheets to get their design spec and ratings. The actual rating will depend on a number of things though, like switching rate, gate capacitance, drive voltage/current specs and a number of other things.

The best thing to do is to post a picture of it, and see if anyone recognises it. Do you know where it came from originally?

I have somewhere in my store Mystery 25A or 30A
Will take a pic and can measure it - if thats of any help.

The physical size of the thing, and the cabling can give a clue - but only a clue, and again, we need a picture.

Here's a picture Tim it's one Brian Jone's sent to me, it's the new wiper system introduced by Peugeot, the blades are a little long and apparently the washer system's a little iffy

you get worse Brian I swear it.

Would one of them fit mine Bri

I would think so Gary might need short blades for yours, There's a neat trick to it, after you've used the screenwasher you can blow dry the screen

Dont tell us Bri - you could also fit Heather mills to the back!





ESC pic to follow!

Heres the pic - thumb is for size comparison!
Mr Gilmour seems to remember its between 7-10AMP which seems about right to me, but see what you fellas think!

That looks quite small, 10amp seems about right to me!

Watt size is the thumb?

Id say 10 -12A max

could be a Kontronic 100 amp ???

8-10 amp looks like the giand cod 10amp one to me about 5-6 quid

I've just had alook at a Castle Creations Phoenix 10, and it looks remarkably similar to that too. I reckon the GC version, could well be a copy

Andy

Decided to swap it out for a known value one to be on the safe side! will use this one on a shockie instead I think!
Cheers for all the input!
