ESC recommendation for Asiatam Kubelwagon

[MichaelC]

Hi all,

Will be picking up the Asiatam all metal kubelwagon shortly and is wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an ESC for it.

Perfect tom....... I assume it will go forward and reverse ?

[tomhugill]

It does

Thanks Tom. That's great. I see there is instructions as I have never use one before. Should be able to figure it out, right ? Also, what do you think of the Asiatam kubelwagon ? I don't know much about it. I assume it doesn't have a working suspension and not a lot of room for other stuff like battery etc ?

There's a rudimentary suspension, could be improved with stronger springs, you can fit all the electrics in the engine bay and a small lipo under the rear seats, so you can have it without the roof. Kit is decent quality , the only issue I have it it's fast with little torque, if it could be geared down a little more it would really help.

Hi Just a little point about these ESCs they are neutral sensitive , Once set to stick they are O.K. but they are not good for using as channel 5&6 to control things (5&6 with turn knobs ) If you release the stick and it goes to neutral they work fine ,if your transmitter doesn't have a spring return they can be hard work to change direction.
They are good and work well if you know about this little problem.

Thanks pete for the heads-up. Simple stick control and it seems to work okay. Question for tom with regards to the ESC...... I noticed that when I go from forward to reverse, I always have to double clutch before it will go in reverse, i.e. push back and then have to neutral stick and back again before it will go in reverse. Is it a "feature" of this little ESC ?

Otherwise it works great.

It is, that's the brake feature, some of those esc have it, some don't, on mine there's a little switch on the esc which turns it on and off.
