I
am an engineer, and I am also sick and tired of EE wannabes on numerous boards telling us how easy it is to ghetto-rig a cheap ESC to get super performance. I have heard it all before, and in
every case nothing ever comes of it. Why? Because it is not as easy as the wannabes think. I have friends
who design ESCs for Schulze, etc. and if it was as easy as von-engineer thinks then everyone would have super-powered ESCs. Guess why they do not? It ain't easy, no matter what Wikipedia says. Why doesn't Schulze have a 350-amp controller that works? They can't even get their 200 amp version to be reliable - due to the software.
The software is what makes or breaks an ESC, particularly a high amp one. Believe it. Change the basic structure and performance envelope and the software (designed for minimum performance) won't work. But go ahead, show us your stuff. I'm patient and can wait as long as it takes you to embarrass yourself. But I fully expect this project to
fade away just like all the others did when the wannabes found out it can't be done.

Well I am a jack of ALL trades and master of NONE! but the king of bull ****.
anyhow, you constructive criticism is more then welcome, no one of us is as smart as all of us. . . your wanna be comments are unnecessary.
I personally would like to know more about this software. I have a hard time understanding how a transistor chip might contain software at all. I do understand that software is what controls the transistor via another chip, but fail to understand why using a larger higher amp transistor would cause a melt down? (I am thinking mostly of brushed ESC's forward and reverse)
You make very good points.
