Tamiya 7804097 ESC FOR R/C CAR

The TAMIYA Brushed Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is specifically engineered for use with Tamiya RC car kits, ensuring seamless integration and optimum performance. Its plastic construction provides durability while maintaining a lightweight profile. This ESC features universal compatibility with brushed motors, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of hobbyists who favor Tamiya vehicles. The basic black color allows it to blend discreetly with most RC car designs.

Advanced Protection Features

To ensure safe and reliable operation under various conditions, the ESC boasts a waterproof and dust-proof design, protecting the internal circuitry from environmental hazards. It incorporates multiple protection mechanisms, including low voltage cut-off specifically tuned for both Lipo and NiMH batteries, over-heat protection to prevent thermal damage, and throttle signal loss protection to safeguard against unexpected interruptions during use.

Ease of Use and Convenient Programming

One of the user-friendly highlights of this ESC is its automatic throttle range calibration, simplifying initial setup and ongoing adjustments. The programming process itself is made straightforward by using physical jumpers, allowing even novice users to customize their ESC settings without sophisticated tools or deep technical knowledge. The built-in capacitor module also stabilizes voltage spikes, further supporting smooth operation.

Impressive Performance Specifications

Capable of handling substantial power loads, the ESC delivers a continuous current of 60A forward and 30A backward, with burst capacities reaching 360A and 180A, respectively. It supports a broad range of power inputs, including 2-3S Lipo batteries and 5-9 cell NiMH batteries. This robust current handling enables it to be used in high-demand scenarios, ideal for 1/10 scale on-road, off-road, and crawler RC cars.

Motor and Battery Compatibility

The ESC adheres to strict motor limitation standards to maximize safety and performance. For 2S Lipo or 5-6 cell NiMH setups, it supports 540 or 550 size motors with at least 8 turns or RPMs under 45,000 at 7.2V. In 3S Lipo or 7-9 cell NiMH settings, it is compatible with the same motor sizes featuring 13 turns or more or less than 30,000 RPM at 7.2V. The integrated switch-mode BEC delivers 3A at 6V, providing ample power to receiver and servos. With a compact footprint of 36x30x18mm and weighing only 40g, it fits easily into most RC vehicle chassis.
