HobbyKing - HobbyKing SS 190-200A brushless esc

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

can you guys put out a booklet on how to set up a test stand such as yours and the material needed and explain clearly without my having to get a new brain...thanks

[munstermanhi]

Im a screw master lol

[rovannon]

can someone tell me what is the device being used for chancing the speed of the motors.

[worahr]

@rovannon

Servo tester,, but.. I did not see any 10 Seconds burst.. anyway I pushed 6S 85Amp through 4S rated motor, it was really hot, but not smoked, 85 amp survived but hot like hell, and battery survived up to 2 minutes until soldering melted down.. everything ended up in total crash off model.. but that was an test.

And here.. I did not see anything close to 190Amps.. it was all about 110Amps for few seconds.. I would like to see 190/200Amp test. So you got 110 Amps on 7.4 volts .. lol..

Hi. I got a Cessna 172 Skylane with default Motor and ESC. Can i use this set on my cessna shown in the video? Wich set do you recommend or compatible with this type of aircraft? Default Settings are: Motor: 900kv ESC: 30A Battery: 2200mah 3S 20C. I want the maximum power.

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

man thats awesome could you tell me where to get 1 of them throttle set up switch things ? i want to use a h/k 60 amp esc on a HHO hydrogen set up in my car but i need to idle it around 15 amps that throttle thing there is what i needs but i cant find on h/k

[erh7771]

I've run this esc on 8s past 100 amps and the esc didn't even think about getting warm, the FETs on this esc are good for more than 34 volts in tolerance

[Squall762]

So how programmable is the ESC?

Is it specifically for planes only?

[bzhwindtalker]

I'm using this controller on 6s6p A123, on an electric bike!

I got peaks of 2700w, I bet it could be more if the batts were not sagging as much!

[ShadowwwLFS]

@bzhwindtalker A123's 18650's, 26650's or 20Ah prismatic cells?

[bzhwindtalker]

@ShadowwwLFS M1's wich are 26650, 2.3ah. Its a small pack but gives 20 minutes of hard offroading, wich is plenty to leave me drained for an hour!

[ShadowwwLFS]

@bzhwindtalker well I'm jealous now :(

here they cost $15 a piece, and internationally they can be found cheaper but shipping expenses make them expensive again :(

[bzhwindtalker]

@ShadowwwLFS I got 40 of them for about 100€ two years ago from someone recycling dewalt packs. I've put at least 100 cyles on them, abusing them and balancing occasionnally. I like them they are safe and powerfull ! But real poutch lipo is so much more energy dense...

[ShadowwwLFS]

@bzhwindtalker Energy dense - yes, but not as power dense.

+ pouch lipo's tend to explode. :P

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

@bzhwindtalker have you got it in a car ? cheers

[StormyMaxPerry]

@Frank (HobbykingLive):

Your idea of calculating the doubling of the total amp draw by paralleling the two 5S packs is horribly flawed. 5S voltage is still 5S (~20V) whether one or two packs are connected. Granted, the loaded voltage will be slightly higher when parallel due to the halving of the batterys' internal resistance but that should only account for a few amp increase. Run time will be doubled as you've now 2X the packs' total AH capacity. FYI...

[ShadowwwLFS]

@StormyMaxPerry Uhm.. two parallel batteries are capable of 2x higher amp draw. Nothing wrong there.

[yeorr3]

hi frank... i just buy hk boat ecs yesterday.. but there is no manual.. im sure everyone need manual to use this esc. could you make vid how to program? im using Hobbyking SS Boat Series 70A ESC.

[DavidSunshine867]

Great review!

Wow, that's really cheap?

[timbulb]

He says ESC funny. I was trippin out on it.

[maynardr6]

Do you have any comments concerning putting 200 amps through an xt60 connector? I have a setup using a 150 amp ESC and I was wondering if I should go to large bullet connectors? What would personally feel comfortable pulling through them?

[bzhwindtalker]

@maynardr6 I run 8mm bulets and double 12 awg leads, and I still have a lot of wiring related voltage drop. 200 amps is a LOT of current!

[XeroVMK]

Sigh... Te ESC Didn't get hot... Try run it for a longer period of time, it will get hot, believe me :P

[rcflight13]

I need something like this but with a built-in BEC. Any suggestions?

[StormyMaxPerry]

@rcflight13

Much more expensive but the Castle Creations ICE Lite 200A ESC is exactly what you want. Has a 5A switch-mode BEC built in.

[SCJohnson77]

PUT IT IN A PLASTIC BOX! Did you hear what happened to the guy whose EDF exploded on RCG?

[pbr51]

I really like the professional style of HK's reviews!

[Nomoreidsleft]

Did the prop tips exceed the speed of sound? Be careful, you don't want to create a dimensional vortex. (aka a worm hole)

[tristancking]

Great Video!! I fried my esc on my 1/16 e-revo the other day and I wanted to get something better that I could run two 6 cell nimh for a total of 14.4v and not be woried about killing it, what would you recommend? The one shown in the video?

Thanks!

Tristan.

[RCWinnipeg]

Given no one runs there esc/motor for such a short period of time, what exactly is being proven with a 5 second test?

[ap0lmc]

If you connect two of these to a Y cable can they handle double the amps that way?

[ap0lmc]

What is the green ring on the UBEC wiring?

[erh7771]

FYI if you do over 5s 40c packs DO use a 10ohm 2watt resister pre hook up for spark suppression so the initial hook up wont kill your the ESCs transistors. Ask me how I know...

[bzhwindtalker]

@erh7771 No precharge for me, I have about 15 hour of run time on 6s6p A123...

[TheJumpernr1]

What about doing these high-Amp-tests for more than just a few seconds?

every 100 Amp esc can handle 160A for 2-3seconds, so please show us, how this esc handles 180 Amps for 20 seconds...

[cripin2021]

could this be used with a vxl 3500kv 10-turn motor?

[erh7771]

This is one of the greatest deals in RC right now, is HK going to sell spark suppression... good spark will hurt good fets

[Ggelizeu]

please , what prop do you use for TG 4030 1100 KV ?

[mickvk]

Paul, I truly appreciate the job you do. It's just right. To add a comment about propeller safety, Master Airscrew's rule of thumb is Max RPM=165,000/Diameter. In this case, the result is 27,500 RPM which you almost doubled!! So hopefully anybody else reading this has a better understanding of why that it's not a recommended setup (as you said regarding amp draw).

[buneaalexpetru]

when will this be back i n stok?

[zyoungson215]

safety glasses aint gona do much if one of those blades comes loose!

[tomascontrerasjr]

thirty buckSS$S$S$!!!!!!!

[myrandomspaces]

loudness ahhh...

[startazz]

Hi Frank great review as always but i've got a question for you about the UBEC,i know the video isn't about that but here goes anyway ;-) what was that little plug for on the UBEC that wasn't being used?? as i've got an old 20amp ESC with a built in BEC but it as a extra two thin wires coming out of it with a pug on the end,it's not the three wire plug that goes into the RX and it's not the battery wires or the motor wires lol,so any idea? i just can't think what it's for ;-) thumbs up.

[HobbykingLive]

@startazz I believe you may be talking about the plug that has a jumper on it. this is for changing the output voltage of the BEC. On the one used in the video you can set the output to 5v or 6v depending on which two pins the jumper is on. Because yours sounds like it only has two pins you may be able to change the voltage output by putting on or removing a jumper. That's just a guess so you may want to check the operators manual if you have it or check online.

[RangerPate]

@HobbykingLive , is this the same esc then the ss 200A watercooled? -is the manual same?(no manual for watercooled version?)

What timing for 880kv t600 and 6s?

[buneaalexpetru]

thank you for this review!

[cruddiestcrudever]

Woa voltage down to 7.34? doesn't that damage the battery?

[HobbykingLive]

@cruddiestcrudever that was the voltage drop measured on the 2 cell. If you look at the top right of the watt meter you can see the real time voltage is 8.19v so that's less than 1v difference.

[30GB]

im surprised the prop didnt disintegrate

[satellite98]

@30GB i was thinking the same thing.

[HobbykingLive]

@30GB I was using an Apc 6x4 sport prop for fuel motors. They are thicker and stronger than the electric 6x4e props.
