Hey guys, I recently bought an hpi e10 roller. And uh, after transplanting some of my own electronics into it well... my esc is huge. It's an old tekin from like 1990. Sucker is just too big to fit under that plate they want you to mount the electronics too and almost too big to mount on top. I can make it work for the time being but it wont be clean and neat looking under the shell with the wires all over. I know all the new modern esc's are alot smaller. Is there any specific models that you guys recommend to suit your needs? I am just running the stock brushed saturn motor right now, no real plans to go brushless (I dont really see it that necessary in a drift car). The lowest turn motor I own right now is a 17t out of my rc10 (an old trinity speed gems sapphire) that still runs like a champ (at over 15 years old at that).


so any ideas?

I'm going to recommend this ESC.[link]http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN4925[/link]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I got some big dual motor esc Tekin in it right now. Electronics are so much smaller these days there is no reason to have this thing in there. That and my clodbuster needs it.

I ordered 2 Tazer 15t from Next Hobbies...$29.99ea

cool I will look into it. Next problem: how in the hell am I going to fit a 7cell flat or 7cell hump pack in here.

velcro strap

That's what I was thinking. guess it's another job for the trusty dremel. Hate to start cutting on this thing already. Hasnt even been run yet

you can always get a 6cell venom5000 or lipo for more power

true, I guess volting up probably isnt necessary. if I snagged a lipo then I'd have to get an LVC or a better esc for sure. Guess my clod could have it's esc back then...


edit: more stuffs to buy, guess that's the same old same old. My micro rs4 better fetch a decent price.

Sweet. Ive been looking all over for a cheap ESC. I was looking at LRPs but didnt want to spend a bunch. (thinking about a team magic E4)

not really, you'll be fine as long as you get a heat sink for your motor.
