Hi,

I have ordered an ARF model airplane from Tower Hobbies (Hobbico EP SuperStar) which comes with a Sp 600 can motor, ESC/BEC and a 7-cell, 8.4V, 2100mAh pack. No specs are supplied for the ESC/BEC; however, I have a new Medusa 50A, ESC/BEC which can be used with a NiCd, NiMH or LiPo pack. I want to start out with the Sp 600 can motor; but in the future, I would like to change to a brushed outrunner and continue to use the NiMH pack. I also have a new 7-cell, 8.4V, 3600 NiMH pack.

What kind of ESC/BEC must I use with a brushless motor and NiMH pack combination? Are there ESCs that can only be used with brushed motors and a second type that can only be used with brushless motors.

Thanks,
