Default RE: Which (chinese) facctories make various brands of ESC ..?

A few that Flyzone sells. The models are made by ST models , but I don't know who makes the esc. They all look similar with a square hole in the shrinkwrap exposing a blue heat sink. One I know has a LVC of 8.77 volts with reduced power to motor and then at 8.72 it cuts power off to motor. Another I know has a fixed LVC below 10 volts and may be actually 8.77 volt. They seem to have very long servo plug AND a blue round (resistor)? at the battery end.


Super Cub 18 amp esc http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLBE&P=7
FW-190 was originally listed as a 40 amp http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCKZC&P=7
Cessna Corvalis 350 a 30 amp esc http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLAR&P=7
Sensei looks identical and is a 30 amp esc http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCKZB&P=7
Acro-Wot (my next plane) 40 amp http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCMZW&P=7 I'll see if it's identical
plane may be made or sold by RipMax also.


I use a lot of these esc and they all are armed as soon as they are plugged in. They are simple and work well. I've only had one go bad during a prop strike.

I appreciate the help and research you've done.
