Guys,
I'm new in this electronic section.
I was looking for a device which can run a brushless motor without the need of a radio and receiver. I just wanna hook up the *device with the ESC,and wanna increase or decrease the motor speed. Usually a radio system hooked up with ESC does this job. Anyone of u used this device or know any of that serve my purpose?

A servo tester is a good solution. All the ESC is looking for is a positive going pulse between 1 and 2 milliseconds about every 20 milliseconds. You could even build your own with an LM555 timer.

I use a Ztron c/l timer. You can set when the motor turns on, how long it runs, at what power setting, ramp ups, and shutoff warnings (blips).
