Mini ESCs for Brushed Magracing Motors
Posted: Fri 16. Feb 2018 18:21
During the past week I’ve done a lot of research on 2.4ghz electronics and the availability of very small parts to build a very small 1:32 magracer. Couldn’t keep it all straight in my head. Decided to make a chart to keep track of all of the info concerning Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs). Thought I’d share the chart on this forum for anyone interested in building a magracer based on 2.4 ghz electronics.
I’m currently designing another chassis kit with an adjustable wheelbase. I’m calling it CK7. It will use 2.4ghz radio gear. I expect it to be small enough to fit accurately scaled, classic small-body race cars like the Alfa Romeo 33TT3, Chaparral 2, 2E & 2F, Cooper Shelby King Cobra, Ferrari 275 GTB/C, and 512S, Ford GT40 Mk II, Lola T-70 Mk II, McLaren M8A, Porsche 917 K, 910, and 908, etc. The kit will be ideal for converting slot cars with these small bodies to magracing cars.
I have ordered all of the radio gear. Still waiting for most of it to be delivered. I expect the necessary parts to be delivered by March 1. I’ll then finish the design and send it off to Shapeways for printing. I expect the car to be running by April 1.

Please let me know if you find any mistakes or would like an ESC added to the chart.
