<span style="font-size: small">Electrifly Silver Series Brushless ESC's, 8A to 45A
</span>Whichcompany might make these Electrifly ESC's, isan interesting question: I have discovered it is: INGS Bee's Electronics- http://www.ings-cn.com/ESC/esc.htm
Main points:
1. The Electrifly ESC's lookdifferent from any other ESC's -they have (what appears to be) 2 different length capacitors on the battery input side -most ESCs have 2 identical capacitors on this side http://www.electrifly.com/escs/silverseries.html
2.Electrifly ESC'sare identical in configurationwith Super Tigre ESC's(see pics)- http://www.supertigre.com/electric-p...-controls.html The Super Tigre ESC's are available in 20A and 30A rating,whereas Electrifly Silver Series ESC's are available in 8, 12, 25, 35, 45Arating. Nevertheless, Super Tigre ESC's are clearly identical in format, and obviously come from the same factory as these Electrifly ESC's.
3. A targeted search showed that these ESC'sare made by INGS Bee's Electronics, in China- http://www.ings-cn.com/ESC/esc.htm The configuration of the Bee ESC'sis clearly identical to the Electrifly and Super TigreESC's (see pic).The INGS Bee ESC's are available in 15, 30, 40 and 50A ratings(and soon 60A, so they say).
4. The specs of the Bee 30A ESCare identical to the Super Tigre 30A ESC; and even the parameters are listed in an identical order.
The specs of the Bee 40A ESCare identical in almost all respects to the Electrifly 35A ESC.
There really cannot be any doubt that INGS Bee, Electrifly and Super Tigre ESC's are identical, and come from the same source.
5. These ESC's are not really programmable-they are more"Plug and Play"http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=615
The only thing which can be altered is brake on / off, usingthe Tx.They have a useful "safe start" feature.
6. There seems to be no other supplier besides Hobbico (of which Great Planes, Tower Hobbies, Electrifly are a part; they distribute Super Tigre) which sell these somewhat unique ESC's.
7. The larger Electrifly 60A and 80A ESC's come from a different manufacturer (see next post).
