Etti Race just came in....

[Steven Vaccaro]

As requested by several members/customers, I bought a bunch of the etti esc's. Quite an impressive looking esc. I will post the specs and pictures tonight.

[Ub Hauled]

AWESOME STEVEN!
I can't wait to see those ESCs in action and see some solid numbers...

[Jeff Wohlt]

They are awesome....I am told. I have one but have not tested it yet. Hope to before the water is hard here. There are many that have run these and say they rock.

I would grab them while he has them....you won't be sorry.

[Doug Smock]

I saw a Etti 150 make several passes at the SAWs in a N-2 hydro:thumbup:, it replaced a new Hydra 240 that didn't survive a mill with the same setup.:eek:

Doug

[Raydee]

If they make one that is High voltage I may have to dump my HV180.

[JimClark]

So the Etti's work with wheel radios no problem?

[Doug Smock]

I know this one does Jim,

ETTI 150A Water-cooled Brushless Navy ESC 2-7S Lipo OPTO
SKU: ETTI29

Doug

[Raydee]

That is the one that may replace my HV180 if Castle doesn't do something about the 1.4 firmware before next season starts.

[RayR]

Ray,

It handles 6S no problem.

All the best,

Nice price, I hope they are still around come spring time.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Mine has dual signal inputs so you can run bec or without and you just plug the other wire in :)

[Raydee]

So the Etti has the Smock seal of approval ;)

I will def have to give one a shot.

[SJFE]

All the latest product additions & continuing excellent service prove OSE is the Premier FE store bar none. Thanks for your hard work Steven.

[Flying Scotsman]

Can you purchase a progammer for this or does it have to done via the radio?
Impressive looking ESC

Using the ETTI 125amp for over a year now with no problems , it even got wet and it still works fine. The price for the 150 in the shop is amazingly low , steven :w00t:.

ETTI got a lot of good stuff for sale and has his own website now http://www.etti.com.hk/ besides selling on ebay.

That wont be a problem , we use them a lot in the netherlands and in belgium too but the germans still thinking that the china stuff is crap or copied so it cant be good if it inst from germany :sarcasm1:

[highndry]

I have one, havent tried it yet. It looks very robust and well made, not to mention easier to prep than a CC, but with the x-rate and shipping, came to ~ $ 200+ US. Propnut used one in establishing a new Saws record. Dont recall the set-up

[highndry]

If you can get them out there for that price, I think you will have a winner

[QUOTE=highndry;62102] Propnut used one in establishing a new Saws record. Dont recall the set-up[/QUOTE

That was the Q Sport ( 6s) Hydro record.:cool:

Doug

[Bill-SOCAL]

Well, I am going to take one for the team. I have one on the way for my new 32" DF CyberStorm.

4S2P - 1521/1.5D


I had planned on a CC Hydra 180. I'll let you know how it goes.

[raptor347]

If it will really hold up to 6S, I'll have to try them in a new project.

Not to poke at the sore spot of escs but is there a warranty?

[Bill-SOCAL]

To paraphrase a great movie:

Warranties?? We don't need no stinkin' warranties!!

Hopefully my little mono won't be too much for it!!

If it is, well screw it, I'll put a pop-tart in and be done with it!!

[Ub Hauled]

For those of you that speak Castellano... there is a joke that goes for these kinda products...
once you buy it and then ask about warranties, the seller goes... "la garantia soy jo" (the warranty is me), implying that it does not need a warranty.:spy:
I always liked that one... if it makes no sense, I guess it does not translate the same.:sorry:
I know there are lots of people using Ettis and they are recommended, but a warranty is always welcome.
BTW, I am not trying to imply that Etty is a bad product, it's just the warranty thing...

[Bill-SOCAL]

I have not been overly impressed with warranties so far.

I have 2 burnt up motors lost in limbo with a well known US motor maker (sorry, we have no record of receiving them), 2 other motors sitting in the Fatherland waiting for a decision and a Pop-Tart waiting on some kind of development in the case.

So I now look at a warranty as worth a grain of salt. I'll give the Etti a try even though Yoda says try I should not, but try it I will. If it burns up. Oh well.

[Avanti]

You can give a POS a warranty, but that will not make it a good product.

I have seen highndry's etti and it looks like a quality unit.

[Bill-SOCAL]

And you can give well known and top rated products a warranty which in my experience have turned out to be pretty much meaningless.

Like I said, I don't put much stock in them any more. So I am not worried in the least about what kind of warranty the Etti has, or does not have.

[Avanti]

very true Bill

and then your well know company can change the rules as they go

[Flying Scotsman]

This ESC uses capacitors that are very different in design to what Schulze and Castle use. I would love an electronic guru to chime in as to whether ETTI's design offers any perceived advantage?

Douggie

[Ub Hauled]

one advantage in my book is the fact that you don't have to worry about breaking one of their legs... now one disadvantage is the fac that one cannot easily add capacitors since they are surface mount.

[focused]

OK! Now I'm seriously interested. This is the first time a company has taken the use of extra capacitors seriously.

I know it's made a huge difference in the lifespan of my Castles. I add 4x470's to all my LV castles escs.

I find it great that they have capacitor banks for the Ettis as well... like Brian stated, this is getting to be a really interesting ESC, it's not just a product slapped together, it seems they have things thought out.

I stand corrected. I haven't looked at the YGE line or any german esc in about 3 years.

[ghostofpf1]

I have been running one of these in a 4s 8xl 33" mono this summer and it has held up just fine. At the price Steven is selling them I couldn't pass up the chance to buy another

ghost

[hkusp45]

These look very good! Steven, any chance of you getting the cap banks too?

[Steven Vaccaro]

I will pick up the banks on the next order. These are almost sold out at this price, thanks guys!

Good suggestion , maybe the 125amp which can handle the 6s lipo :rockon2: .

[Bill-SOCAL]

The 200 amp and the cap board. Umm, tasty!!!!

[RayR]

Careful what you wish for, most of the rest of the line are stacked boards like the Castle's.

The 200 amp ETTI appears to be the same as the HiModel 200 amp you can buy for $62.50.

All the best,

Ray

[Bill-SOCAL]

FWIW I got my ETTI 150 today from Steven. Sure I ordered it late Sunday night and Tuesday was a mail holiday, so I am not going to get all impressed about getting out here in SOCAL today (Wednesday). Any Whooooooo...

First, it is larger than you get the impression from the photos. It's about 1/2 inch longer and wider than a CC Hydra 120. Feels good, nice heft and looks to be very well made. It also appears to have a conformal coating on it.

Nice piece of work, even if I did have to wait "so" long to get it from OSE. Typical. I hate waiting. Probably use the fact that the PO was closed Tuesday to explain why it took 3 days to get here!!! :roflol:

[Eodman]

Yeah Bill I know what you mean I ordered mine on Sunday and didn't get it till Wednesday and I'm in NJ! But what you gonna do!

I'm going to use mine in a MM build this winter! Hoping to run in "P" Offshore class with a 9 XL. We'll see!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Sorry for the shipping delays. Dam them post men for taking a day off!!! :huh:


Steve any thought of ordering the rest of the line of marine esc's?

Jim


Ray is correct. Plus the rest of the line is nice, but there are a bunch of things that would overlap my current offerings.

[Meniscus]

I am glad to see that the products everyone is suggesting are being purchased. I'd hate to see Steven have to sit on the inventory. :( As it stands, it looks like JIT mentality.

or maybe just mental, LOL!

[Eodman]

In my former life I was told many times I was mental! Does that count for anything????

[Meniscus]

Are you sure that wasn't someone at home telling you that? LOL! I know I hear that from time to time (in denial that its not all the time).

No Meniscus it was usaully the guys in my outfit! They said that about all us EOD guys!

hi folks

one question about voltage, it's written 30v but only 7S ...(7x3.7=25.9 and 8S=29.6 v)
i'm looking for an ESC than can run 8S .....

No , one lipo cell gives more voltage right from the charger then 3,7v its 4,2v if you put a full charged 8s lipo you get 33,2v then it will malfuntion or whatever it will do :flashfire:.

So dont use 8s lipo on a 30v Esc .

[cacofonix]

hi

thanks for your answer, so my only solution is to use a HV esc, from CC or other......

I should have the next batch in a few days, same price.

So if I wanted to beef up my CC Hydra 120, how many 35V 560mF capacitors would I solder in parallel ? 4?

[BILL OXIDEAN]

I used an ETTI 125 to bump N-2 offshore SAWS record at the LA SAWS
I have sevral versions, many that I used at the 2008 nats, I took 2nd in LSH with the 70 amp and 2nd in N-2 hydro with the 200 amp version (discontinued)

ETTI makes LOTS of REALLY neat products, their struts propelled my micro hydro to 50mph with a 19-turn motor!!

Awesome water Jackets clear! GREAT prices on everything too..

They have a product that I REALLY want to try.. A SAWS capacitor bank to wire into your existing 150 to give it more "punch" for all out power!

Check it out!! http://www.etti.com.hk/index.php?language=en

As far as my BBQ collection goes, perhaps you can see why I race gas boats now!!!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

IMPOPRTANT. I just realized they shipped me the 6-16 cell version, not the 6-20 cell. I will be trying to straighten this out asap.

[calcagno45]

Good catch Steven!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Would have been a better catch if I did so before listing them for sale and selling a few! :doh:

[Steven Vaccaro]

I just found out that when I asked for the race 150 WITH bec, that the max voltage is only 5s/16 nimh cells. It was my mistake to overlook that spec.
I will have the race 150 6s/20nimh with NO bec in about 2 weeks.

[Bill-SOCAL]

double post

[Bill-SOCAL]

I'm confused. The one I have here has a label on the top that reads:


Input Voltage 6-30V
Current 150A
NiMH 6-20 Cells
LiPo 2-7 Cells
Resistance 0.001 ohms

The instruction sheet has a table across the first page that says this:



Type: ETTI 150-6-20
Voltage: 6-30V
Amp (A): 150
FET: 30
IR (ohms) : 0.001
NiMH Cells: 6-20
LiPO Cells: 2-7
BEC: NO
Size (mm): 95x50x13

Doesn't matter to me, I will be running only 4S, but the label is not 5S or 6S as Steven in noting.

So which one do I have??

[Steven Vaccaro]

Yours doesnt have a BEC. There is a lower voltage model that does have a bec, thats the one I have. I have more of the higher voltage NON-Bec coming in a week.

[Bill-SOCAL]

So the first batch was correct and it was the second batch that was the lower voltage. Got it!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

So the first batch was correct and it was the second batch that was the lower voltage. Got it!!


Yes.

What happened was when reordering I was told about the bec version. I jumped on it without looking at the max voltage. So I ended up with a bec version of less voltage. Which isnt a problem, since lots of people want a bec and only use 4s. But I will continue to stock both escs.

[Bill-SOCAL]

Did they ever provide any specs on the Cap board? I snagged a couple for testing, etc. Adding 10 big caps has to make a difference, but it would still be good to know what the actual numbers are from them.

[westbeach]

I just found out that when I asked for the race 150 WITH bec, that the max voltage is only 5s/16 nimh cells. It was my mistake to overlook that spec.

Hi Steve,

Placed my order for the ETTI, can I get the ETTI w/o BEC for 6S setup Please! Thanks.
Neal

[Steven Vaccaro]

Bill I'm working on those specs. All I have now is the 35 volts. I "assume" its for 7s lipo max, but you know what happens when you assume.:biggrin:

Neal we spoke by email. I will have you an esc in a week or so.

[Bill-SOCAL]

35 volts should get you up to 8S. The big caps on my ESC are all 35V.

The top is stamped

81L
470
35V

[westbeach]

No rush on shipping the ESC Steve. I will be out of town in a weeks time till the end of the month. Just chimed in because of what I just read about the High/Low Bec/Non-Bec versions of the ETTI. :thumbup:

[BILL OXIDEAN]

I just wanted to add that the 100a 6-16 is a reliable and suprisingly strong running speedo as well..

I changed the rotor in my 4.5 Novak, and the boat's running strong, I'll have vid in a few days..

I think the cooling plate works REALLY well.. The flat design allows superior cooling to the fets

[Steven Vaccaro]

The Race 150 6-20 NiMh / 2s-7s lipo esc's are in stock now. Also more capacitor boards came in.

[Bill-SOCAL]

I got the capacitor board yesterday. They are every bit as nicely done as the ESC. Sealed with a conformal coating just like the ESC.

Is it just me, or do they look like an engeneering marvel? How did they mold 'em seamless like that but airtight and hollow? FEATHER light

Yeah, I just wish they had foam in them. As I haven't drilled them yet, I cannot confirm that they don't have foam in them. In my opinion, all sponsons should have foam just in case, well you know what happens. It would be a shame to watch one go to the bottom of the lake!

And WOW! They are feather light! I haven't weighed them yet, but they weigh near nothing.

Why don't we take this to PM or a different thread in order not to clutter this thread with unrelated items, other than the manufacturer. Have you seen my build using these sponsons? You are welcome to post the pictures there.
