Hi, I got 2 of the ESCs in a recent eBay purchase. I know nothing about them.
Flo did suggest they might be for a boat.
Does anyone know if I can use them in an rc car, are they any good, what make are they ????

Questions, questions.
Apologies for my ignorance and thanks for any help.

Take care,
Al

I have seen this type in RC Helicopters and Planes because they are light weight and not bulky, Shame there is no tick for which amperage it is?
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)

Those are airplane controllers. You can use them in a car, but they won't have reverse and they won't have any braking function.

Thanks Blakbird, much appreciated.
So they go in the discard pile.

So they go in the discard pile.

You could try to sell them, but they probably aren't worth much. They look similar to unbranded versions of the E-flite 30-Amp ESC which sell for about $20-$40 new. These are for park flyer sized foam planes.

Thanks Blakbird. Discard pile it is, unless anyone wants them.
I’m not interested in planes or anything else rc.
My dad built rc boats which I now keep in my garage since he passed away, but I won’t sail them.
It’s cars for me.
Many thanks.
