Seaking Boat ESC recalled by factory

[Rumdog]

I plan to push this esc pretty hard. I will use it in a 34" sprintcat with a Feigao 580L on 5s2p. Hopefully it will be up to the task. I will report on how it goes. As far as the bec on 6s, it's kind of an unwritten rule that anything over 4s you should run a rx pack or ubec. I agree that esc manufacturers should state this. Maybe someone who knows more about why this is could chime in. I know it has something to do with ripple current.

[Jeff Wohlt]

yep...far fewer issues if you just run a rx pack when over 4S. I prefer no bec anyway.

[onegreenray]

how do you remove the bec? i have no problems with running a rx pack.

Just remove the red wire from the 3 wire harness going to your Rx and tape it back, then the BEC is disabled. You could cut it too but, the first method can be reversed.

You can't actually physically remove it.

The way I prefer to do it is to add a short servo extension and disable the red wire there rather than the lead on the ESC. That way, if you want to go back to using the BEC, just remove the extension!

[ray schrauwen]

I've got to get some 4" extensions.

It's easy enough to remove the pin to the connector. Use a small screwdriver to lift the tab and pull it out. Then you just pop back in if you want.

Been running seaking 180/v2 on 6s with a 4082 in a DF33 for a few months now , one problem i had from new, the LVC was cutting in way to early when set @ 3.2volts , i was only using 1000 mah,( if that) out of 5000 packs before it would cut in , had to set the LVC @ 2.8 volts to stop it cutting out to early now it cuts in with about 1000 mah left in the packs ... apart from that its ran well , pulling some big AMPs

sailr;
what ever happened to the suppo 200a hv esc's?

[sailr]

I still have one of the BIG suppo 200HV's I'd sell for $120 shipped. Other than that, I never had any.

[carlcisneros]

quick question, how did they work?

(before making up my mind.)

Nice deal!

I been wondering why mine was cutting out seaking 180/v2 on 5s with 4074 in the jesse james (80s aeromarine cat 21) 440/3 blades.Though it was heat related.I took temp.reading after 2 min. run at 98*-102* at the caps or esc body.battery at 100*- 109* and still have more power at the battery leads.Will reprogram the esc to a lower setting and try it this weekend.First at 3.0v and then at 2.8v.Will take battery voltage reading to see where its at when it cuts in.Thanks from you guys for the info.
