Looking for esc stock UL-1

[hyp7]

Needing a esc for my UL-1. It needs reverse and bec. Will be running up to 6s.
Let me know what you have.
thanks.

Reverse? The Stock UL-1 esc does not have reverse. Can't use BEC for 6S. Are you saying you need an ESC for a UL-1 motor that will have reverse and BEC? OR?

Don't expect to use the BEC to run 6S on ANY esc! Once you go above 4S, an external receiver battery or UBEC is needed, REGARDLESS of what the manufacturer says. We have all been down that road too many times.

I highly recommend one of these controllers to do what you want:

Adding to Jim's comments, the stock UL-1 motor is not suitable for 6S. RPM will be very high, with high amp draw well exceeding 100 amps. Unless you want to do SAW-type runs only, you will not be happy with the UL-1 motor on 6S.

Actually, the low voltage Castle ICE controllers run up to 8S with BEC - I've personally run them up on 6S without problems. Most other BEC controllers do not work over 4S and their internal BEC needs to be disabled.

yep, forgot about the ICE. It is the exception regarding the BEC! Thanks for reminding! I have a couple of ICE controllers but haven't gotten around to using them yet.

How about detailing just what your project is and we can help you more.

Well ill prolly just stick with 4s .this is my first boat and it didn't come with a esc, so I tried one of
one of my brushless slash esc on 2s , not real fast but fun it worked just slow. So just looking for something that will work and has reverse.
Thanks for the info! Learning something new every day.
