From what I can tell yes it is airplane ESC so not pistol compat.. Or you can rubberband your throttle forward.

what do you mean by rubberband my throttle forward

hobbycity esc

You'll regret buying it for boats, i bought one without knowledge and returned it cause it was a ROYAL PAIN 10 years ago or more and almost discouraged me from going FE.

James, what hull are you planting that esc in, motor, batteries,prop? and yes you will need a Pistix

Edit.......you will not need a Pistix dumb me for not reading a user's report , but I am concerned as far as the application.

have that exsact one in my mini C ( coated in epoxy) .HXT 2835 on 2c lipo and it works great with my hitec agressor 40mhz fm without a pistix.

Since it's got a brake enable/disable function, it may be used for cars as well, so it might work on a pistol radio.
Just a thought.

That's not a very big ESC for a F/E boat. If the one you fried was the same size you may fry this one too, hence Douggies question in the previous post, I would think.

Video 2000 posted while I was typing. So there you go, no pistix.

its going in a micro scat cat with a feigao 380 motor on 3s lipo the last one got wet and shorted out

[Flying Scotsman]

What prop, motor and battery specs. I think that ESC will still go

[screwball]

motor is a feigao 380s 3000 something kv and the battery is either a rhino 1550 20c 3s or a rhino 1250 20c 2s im not sure on the prop as i got it second hand but i have a few to play around with so i can prop up or down

[screwball]

forgot to ad that i will be adding watercooling and also may switch over to a micro patriot hull

[screwball]

would this esc be any better if so ill cancel my order and get this one

also as said in my previous post i will be adding watercooling and may switch over to a micro patriot hull eventually or another one like the etti micro that has the flood chamber pre-installed

[screwball]

no love?

Wow, dude. 4 posts... [edit]

Um, so yeah. They work fine with pistol tx's. The brake function is not the same as the brake for cars though, it's to slow down a folding prop so it will fold up faster on electric sailplanes.

You will want to turn it all the way off.

I have the 60 amp version. Waterproofed and watercooled.

If your drawing 15-20 amps with that speedo, you'll be fine. Otherwise, go up a size. It's never a good idea to run an esc at full tilt.

[screwball]

wait so are yo talking about the mystery esc or the hobbycity one?

thanks,
James
