[NSRCA-discussion] O.S. OCA-1100HV 100Amp 50V ESC

[Verne Koester]

Bob,

I'm not familiar with the controller, but the C-50 needs 3 degrees timing
and 8 khz.

If you have any baseline settings please share them.  My OS ESC arrived
yesterday, but I won't have the plane until the end of September. The motor
is a Hacker C50-14XL in-runner with gearbox.

 

I did pick up the programmer also.

 

Thanks.

FWIW, Tower has the OS 100 amp speed controller on sale for $150 thru the
end of August.  They also have a $20 off discount currently, so your price
is $130 plus shipping, vs. $180 normally.  I flew one of these for the first
time yesterday.  Extremely smooth, great brake that makes the airplane feel
like it is on a parachute on downlines, easy to program with the optional
programmer, no computer required.  Has data logging also.   Built in spark
arrestor so there is no snap when plugging the batteries in.   I'm going to
replace my other Castle HV80 with another one of these.  All up, it is about
1/2 oz heavier than an HV80 with connectors.  I've been waiting patiently
for Castle to fix their braking issue (screech above 30%), but it doesn't
look like it will happen anytime soon, plus the OS controller is cheaper at
present.  There is a Futaba branded unit that is the same controller sold
elsewhere in the world, and Jason Shulman flew one at the Nats.

 

No connection or sponsorship from Tower/Hobbico!

Jon
