I have just tried to set up this esc and found a set of instructions for the 70a unit that seems to work however it does several things I dont like, 1 cant see to get it to start on soft start, with slowly advancing the throttle on a linear curve it has almost like an instant on but at lower rpm, also at 100% it pulsates graunches and does not sound like it enjoys it.... can you set the 0% and 100% settings for the throttle with the esc?

actually im feeling like i have been ripped off, this ESC seems to be junk with no soft start

What ESC is it?

AKPhill · 11-27-2011, 11:25 AM

If this esc is a copterx brand it does not softstart I replaced mine with a cc icelite 75 amp works perect
With the other one kept stripping main gears

Yes I hear you.
They have 2 systems they sell.
Budget system for a $100 bucks and pro system which they sell for $400 bucks.
I know which one everyone buys don't you too.

I have had good luck with the align esc so are getting the 75a unit, Castle Creations is out of stock and a bit expensive

The K-Force 70A is not good for a 500 size helis as it have no built in BEC.
The K-Force 100A is very good. I have used it for over a year now wit no problems.
