1Pcs 10A Brushless ESC Speed Controller With 1A BEC For RC Airplane

You're looking at an inexpensive speed control, so keep your expectations in check and you'll be happy. This is a bare-bones ESC. It came packed in an anti-static bag with no documentation. No battery or motor connectors were installed or included. I assumed it has no programming capabilities. It's only good for 2 or 3 cell Lipos, and it claims to auto-detect which you are using. Before powering it up I checked the workmanship... I'd give it a "fair" rating. Visually it looks like a copy of the (much more expensive) E-Flite micro 10A ESC. Its weight was not listed. I measured ~8 grams with all connectors installed. It powered up with no issue and so far seems to work just fine. I'm using mine to run a 50 watt, 15 gram, 1700kv brushless outrunner on two cells. I'm operating it at nowhere near its rated 10A continuous / 12A short term rating. I had to lengthen the motor leads by 3 inches and it didn't complain. It seems happy, I'm happy. YMMV.

I got this for a small 1202.5 brushless motor and after soldering on all the connections I went to plug it in and just nothing no sound no light the receiver wouldn’t turn on nothing seemed to work I don’t recommend this esc

They both worked after adding connectors fortunately but it appears I received two different units. They are either different models or different revisions of the same model. I am unsure. I plan on using them on a twin motor airplane so I just need to make sure that they have the same RPM through the throttle range when operating together. This is my concern because if not then I cannot use them together.

Exactly as advertised and fits and works just fine.

So, years back when brushless motors were gaining popularity in the RC model aircraft hobby, TowerPro and Balsa Products both sold a combined motor and brushless combo that could be purchased for about 25 dollars for either motor or controller. It was a breakthrough in the hobby for parkfyers with smaller models like the SlowStick and other ARF foamies, to boost the performance of their old brushed motored power systems. This $11 ESC is in the same league as the BP 8/12/18 series of motors and their unbranded ESC's.What this BL ESC does is run your basic, entry level sub 1000 kV 2210 size BL motor quietly and without much heating in either the controller or the motor. It will also run some smaller, faster 2000KV outrunner motors as long as they stay below 10 amps average. What it wont run is can style in-runners and any slightly weak magneted CD-ROM motor. I have an early DIY CD-ROM that's about 3300KV that spins a 6X3 GWS prop at over 14K rpm at 5.5 amps on a ancient Jeti 03-06 controller. But this controller like other here have found out, doesn't like these high speed motors and will start to stutter and get warm, I figure if it forced to run these for an extended time it will overheat. I you own any ELE Motor 2208 or TowerPro 12 or 18 turn Wye motors from 2004~2008 era? This is your happy controller. Also any of the low kV 2212 sized bargain motors sold here on Amazon if run on a 2S pack and a 9"X7"~10"X8" slow flight prop would be happy. Seems that the voltage cut off is 6.5 volts, which is going to shorten the life of your lipoly packs, It would be good to monitor the flight time and bring your aircraft down early to save the battery's life.

Worked without load but as soon as small load applied, it had trouble spinning up. Sometimes it would make it up to speed but most times it would jiggle back and forth and be unable to spin up the motor

We had it cut out a few times mid flight. Ok for a car/boat I guess, but I won't be using it for anymore airplanes.

As others have mentioned, this ESC doesn't necessarily handle 10 amps. Mine kept shutting down at an indoor fun fly. It was driving a Emax 1106 4500kv motor, with a small 2.5" triblade prop. This combination on the bench pulls no more than 8 amps, full throttle.So, I guess treat this as a 6 amp esc and maybe you'll be OK.
