Robin Mosedale 1 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Embarking on a 20" Vickers FB5 Gunbus about 90g AUW inc batteries I'm trying to follow the recommended powertrain and opted for a 4-MAX: PPOM-1410-2900 C05 4-Max Micro Brushless Motor Max Amps burst 5A. The ideal ESC would have been Tornado XQ XP-7A Programmable Brushless ESC | Modelmaniacs which seemed to be very common, but no longer available (not from modelmaniacs dumfries who had the in stock but just refunded and revised stock as not available) After several fruitless hours trying to find a replacement, I wonder if anyone could recommend where I might try:- The XP7a was 22x12x5mm and 5 grammes I don't wish to go much bigger/heavier, nor order anything from Amazon from China with a 2 month lead Closest is:- 4-Max Brushless Electronic Speed Controllers 4M-ESC6A ESC from 4-Max but even so that's an overkill Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
