Good esc for a Neu 1527 1D motor

[grsboats]

I've been using a SF 300 Plus with a Neu 1527 1D (saw set up).. 6S on my rigger...not really satisfied with data logging .I would like to hear what is your experience with other escs!Thanks Gill

Gil,

The Castle ICE 240 works very well with low timing numbers on the 1527 1D on 6S. Even works on 8S if you are carefull.

Here is some data with the 1D in my Q hydro rigger.

The Eagletree System is still the gold standard for me!

Thanks Tyler....there are some misreadings with the SF300 and I'm thinking to get a try to the Castle 240 .Gill

Gil,

The data on the Castle is pretty good for A to B comparisons using the same controller with different props for example. I have my doubts how accurate the real current measurement is, but it is at least consisent. I have not encountered any misreadings yet.

The Castle amp readings are computed (from voltage drop etc) so they may not represent the actual amp draw. Like Tyler stated, to me they are repeatable and consistant. The graphical average amp draw is pretty consistant with the average draw computed from pack recharge values and run times.

Thnks guys a very valuable info for me and will borrow an Ice 240 from my brother to test it on the boat.Gill

Untitled_2013_4_26_11.jpgUntitled_2013_4_26_1.jpg lot of strange data...maybe someone can figure out the reason.where did the current and power go in these graphics?Two tests with diferent props and no sign of these numbers? Gill

[grsboats]

Anyway tomorrow will go to water with an Ice 240 in the boat.Gill

Gil,

Does the numerical data on the top of the chart show the point where the cursor is or the maximum recorded for the entire event?

I'm not familar with the SF logging system, but in the Castle logging it shows the min, max, average and the current values where the cursor is.

Try selecting the Y axis to be the current and replot.

Tyler the Sf data logging use to record the maximum for the entire event so the strange part is how can a motor under load can produce such low amp draw? Anyway I have the Castle ready on the boat that weights half the weight of the SF 300 and depending on the results tomorrow I will order one here at Ose next week.Thanks for your interest and help Gill

Gil,

Were you just running the motor on the bench with no load? If yes, than the numbers are reasonable. This is the idle current at no load and 25VDC. Be careful running those with no load for extended periods.
