Turnigy dlux HV 6s-12s 160 Amp esc

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...160A_HV_Brushless_Speed_Controller_OPTO_.html

Turnigy® dlux ESCs have set a new bench mark in quality and performance. Each ESC uses a twin PCB design separating the motor power supply & MCU. This design allows for optimum component layout on each PCB and provides the ideal configuration for heat dissipation and thermal efficiency. Both PCBs are enclosed in a full aluminum heat sink casing to ensure maximum heat dispersion. All Turnigy dlux ESCs can be programmed via a programing card or by transmitter. Clear and easy to understand instructions are included.

No current limiting, but it should work for some e-vehicle applications. I can't wait to try one!

Who is going to be the first to try one on an e-bike?

I'm happy with the smaller one at 100- 120 amp ,6s max... I wish it had a on-off switch though... Bill

If the RC current limiter works as planned....this controller will be a real option for affordable rc systems.
(if you have no opinons on the straight up reverse engineering of the CChv160 all the way down to the heat sinks )

Possibly, ..but have they managed to reverse -engineer the CC software which some have claimed is the "magic dust ". ??
However, it is good to have another HV ( 12s) ESC option at a reasonable price.

Looks just like a Castle lol! So.. who's going to buy this one and test it?

 

[HumboldtRc]

Has anyone tested one?

 

[rodgah]

I have one to test, Dont hold much hope of it being ok though, it gets pretty warm free running a 80-100.

i was also going to buy one for testing, but now i will wait for your results.

i would really like to know how the startup is.

Did you get any more testing done with the Turnigy 160A HV esc? Any actuall test rides? How is the sensorless start up algorihim? Is it compairable to the CC 160A start up sequence?

 

[rodgah]

no sorry,

bad time of year to get stuff laser cut it turns out :lol: . If you mean start up as in sync'ing as the motor starts to turn it 'sounds' like it takes about the same time as a castle under a no load situation. There is basically very little setup parameters.....very basic, though if used in conjunction with the CA-RC this is perfect. I will report back when i know more.

Is this one reliable in EV application? Want some feedback about this product.*
Anyone?

 

[deanoseadog]

I have built a little (BMX sized) bike with one of these and a SK3 6374 149kV motor for a local ev race and it worked fine. Doesn't get warm at all, but we're using a pretty small motor compared to the 80-100's. Still got me up to nearly 60km/h down the straight with a pretty stiff headwind. It seems to start up just fine but this is the first RC powered bike I've built so I don't have much to compare with, it's nowhere near as smooth as my previous DC setups but it worked far better than I expected. 8)

I used this ESC in two builds wired to an 80-100, I think it's really good for this motors too.
Only issue I had is a blown capacitor in the low voltage side, near the the linear voltage regulator (top right in this photo).



replacing this capacitor I solved the problem.
