This size xxx funda never makes sens to me, I seen people using 35A ESC for 380-400 size motor.Get the exact details of your motors so that the Max current required is clear.

Anyway, I have a Greatplanes Electricfly 35Amp ESC lying with me NIB (just put the connectors to test) never used it on a plane

All the motors I own either need <25/18Amp or > 40A so this ESC is lying unused. I got it for $10 discount and ready to give away at that price + Customs (I ended up paying) + free shipping ...

I know there are much cheaper ESC available... but then same Greatplanes ESC (but smaller 25A) is selling in India for Rs 3100

Thanks for the reply. The ESC is for HELI MAX Axe CP. They didn't mentioned the current requirement in the manuals or on the motor.
"http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKSY5&P=SM" This link leads to a brushless ESC. I want an ESC for brushed motor.

I really apologise ANTA... Size 380 was in my mind for long... and I jumped to see your post, and missed the 'Brushed" part... Brushed motors are so much obliviated by BL that some time we totally forget about them.

Size 380 would give same amount of power as BL motors so, the current requirement would be same.

people have been using 30A ESC on 400 size Brushed motors. Snip in the review section of the same esc above:

I have 6 "Eagle 30A ESCs" in my airplanes for use with single 400, double 400 and single 600 brushed motors with 2s li-pos. Two of them (used with 1x600 and 2x400 motors) have burned brake through normal flying... 4 stars only Reply to this..


some other links (Could not find any brushless ESC in Rcforall site )

Hope this helps

ANTA... I have a 20amp brushed esc that came with the wk 62 and I am not using it as had got it converted the heli to a brushless.. don't know if this will of any use to you... let me know (IF ONLY IT WILL BE USE TO YOU) and I will send it through a friend coming to Bangalore this weekend... but you need to make arrangements for the pick up from Bangalore...

Thanks you both.
Sujju bai, the motor needs a 25A ESC as told by Towerhobbies.
Once again hearty thanks for your benevolent offer.  

Still looking.........

You should go for either HC or the E-bay ESC as they would both suffice.... HC has a great $2.99 shipping for 100g or less items...
