alan2525 · 25-10-2007

Can anyone suggest a suitable Electronic Speed Control for a small Battery loco - 32mm gauge.

The motor is small RS 380 type, Power is 4.8 Volt nimh battery pack. I'd need the item to be BEC and as small as possible - the loco is tiny! Only 120mm long and 60mm wide!

I've got an esc from an R/C car (LRP) which is just about small enough but it's a little problematic as the speed control pauses for half a second prior to going into reverse. Also it only runs the motor at approx 1/4 speed in reverse without a proportional variable speed.
