Fast electric rc cars – Electronic speed controller ( ESC )

Every of fast electric rc car which power by electric ( EP ) require an electronic speed controller ( ESC ), purpose of this equipment are to control electric current from battery to motor and low or high speed of your fast electric rc car. With an efficient of it control system ESC also able:
-To avoid circuit from burn.
-To control or avoid leak current during transfer from battery to motor.
-To stabilize current during speeding.
-To use with faster ( high rpm ) motor.
(Turn-The lower a number of turn, the faster a rpm of each motor)
Ability of each ESC are measure from it ampere and level of voltage of each ESC can received. Each of ESC able to absorb current from 4 to 8 volt and it depend on number of ampere and measure in unit ohm.
ESC are build with it own function such as set-up and mode. This is to ensure desired speed level of each your fast electric rc car. You don’t have to worry about setting of your ESC because most of ESC will provided with set up work guide or software in the package to guide you. Normally this package can be found in expensive ESC unit like LRP, GM, Novak, Nosram and many more.
Beside that most of ESC also comes with ‘heatsink’. Heatsink work as a cooler to your ESC and ensure that your ESC work with normal temperature. Extremely temperature will give a negative impact and effect to your ESC performance. Temperature of your ESC normally will increase when your fast electric rc car run at low speed. The phenomena may relate to gear ratio you had chose, therefore you have to careful to choose a suit gear ratio for your fast electric rc car.
If you have plan to buy a ESC, you are advised to ask someone who have good experience in this field or ask for recommendation from you nearby hobby shop.
This are important to avoid a wrong choice and waste your money.
