Speed Controllers

[Bernard OsborneParticipant @bernardosborne84303]

I have built CVA01 Furious, huge Aircraft Carrier (8ft)powered by 3 x 10amp motors and need a speed controller which will handle this amperage. Does anyone know where I might purchase from?

Hi Bernard.

You cannot go wrong with Electronize Speed Controls.

I use them in all my projects including my 2.5m (8.2 ft)long aircraft carrier Guiseppe Garibaldi (see May 2007 edt Model Boats)

You can now buy electronize on-line at http://www.electronize.co.uk

Best

hiya bernard

i have just bought a esc from ebay for about 20 quid its 110a forward and 40a backward

it does the business  for me and it came with a deans connecter and shrink sleeve

the only thing i  found wrong was it had the old type tamiya plugs on the must be cheap

overseas  you have to wait a week but the wait was worth it  hope this helps mick

Hi Mick,

I think I’ve seen these on Ebay, are they from china / Hong Kong ? – I’ve heard on other forums they have very poor slow speed control, have you tried yours yet ?.  Because of this I’ve just bought 3 Msonics at £36 each.  Would like to know how you get on with yours for future builds.

Cheers – Ken
