Mystery and Himodel ESC

[Tony]

Has anyone use these esc? Both esc look alike . So which one is better?

[Diegoboy]

I have the Himodel 70A that I just waterproofed. I'll let you know how it preforms. Those Mystery ESC's are still a mystery to me.

I have a mystery 200A. I ran it for the first time today, and it actually worked pretty good, and even held up quite well. I was just looking at the FE calculator, and according to it, I was pushing 204 amps on one prop, and 208 on the other. It finally seemed to get pissed off by the end of the day, but I will have to check it later and see if it still works. For $52 I was pretty happy to see that it took what I put it through. I will probably get another one, and not push it so hard.

to me they look the same. they run the same fets but saying that i have seen diffrences in the himodels (diffrent rails and components) so far the ones myself and a mate have tryed (both himodel & mystery) have held up well. they have seen about 120 amps constant with 180amps peek,not bad for a cheap speedie

Obrien: What size props, how many Lipo cell, and motor are you running with that Mystery esc?

Is Mystery esc have the same program setup with those HiModel?I have use HiModel 75a on my boat and it work pretty well, eventough sometime it gets hot but it still working fine. But if mystery esc is the same with HiModel, maybe I want to get one.

I am about to try the 200 amp Hi Volt Himodel in a 8s sport 40. I do not expect it to last but for the price I will take one for the team. Should be about 6 weeks till I am ready to run her and will give a full report.

I have a Mystery 80A and it did work pretty well even at 90A and after being submerged! I replaced it with a Swang 100 that seems to be the same stuff but different shrink wrap color (I guess they all came from the same manufacturer), work fine as well with more programmable options than the Mystery, the most difficult with the Mystery's is to find the appropriate programming procedure because there are several (3 I think) series sold under the Mystery brand.

Regarding your mystery 80A, do u put any waterproofing when it submerge?so what happen to it?here I found a a nice cheap esc which seem to be the same as those himodel setup but they only have 100a and below, here is the link

submerged under power before waterproofed! I waterproofed it after the incident and it is still functionning!
IMO here are the best option for a low budget ESC 120A max
#1 Xpower 100A here at OSE, watercooled waterproofed no mod required perfect for beginner, can be programmed via prog box, USB and stand alone programmer
#2 Swang 100 or 120 with or without BEC e bay
#3 Hextronic 120 (I blew up one at first run???)
#4 Himodel or SuperSimple or Mystery (difficult to find the appropriate programming procedure for Mystery's)

for ESC's above 120
#1 ETTI 125 and above (not low budget though but waterproofed and watercooled)
#2 Himodel or Mystery

The important thing you have to think about is that all these ESC's are not rated for the same Max Voltage, plus you will find weird info on some of them the XPower is 5S max, the SuperSimple is 8S max although some Mystery's that are pretty much the same are rated for 7S max???

i have had a few of the mystery ones and they worked great for me as long as they dont get wet. have a mystery200 that been ran on 8XL and 9XL on a drifter S with a x637and a FMD32 with a x643 (cut down) and they never came back warmer then around 105f

[DISAR]

This thread has some info on both escs.

How many cells do u use?runtime?are u using low timing or high timing?Im a bit confuse with the timing, which one is low and high?is 1 deg low timing?

[video200]

thats on 4cell lipo elite and zippy.
never messed with the timing so i guess its low. to much trubble with the setting of those myesteryes listening to biiping tones and so on
