New to the forum, amateur boater here, and I'm looking for some help identifying an old marine ESC. I'm dusting off an old boat I had from about 15 years ago kid, a Great Planes Wildcat SS, and looking at getting it running for the kids to have a little fun with.
Please see the attached picture, I looked all over the internet and couldn't find any leads for what this unit is. I'd like to find a set-up manual and spec's on it. The GP Wildcat I have is the version with the twin inline brushed motors, set up for dual 7.2V stick packs, it might have even been set up for dual 8.4V sticks. I popped the ESC apart and can't find any identifying marks anywhere that would indicate a manufacturer. I didn't finish up the "bathtub testing phase" before I shelved the boat and never came back to it. The ESC shown has blue and white leads for the motor, red and black leads for the batteries. It is BEC equipped. Also, it has a red LED and a green LED along with a single gray button for set-up. From what I remember it had a set-up sequence for learning the limits of the receivers throttle signal in forward and reverse (I believe it has reverse). Physically, from what I can see, the FET's do not protrude through the case, they are sandwiched up against the aluminum face plate, and the water jacket is bonded to the aluminum.
I'd like to get it running on a budget, so I'm looking at staying with the stock motors, stick packs, and hopefully this ESC for awhile.
Anybody know what this ESC is?
Thanks!
