Not quite true. The R/C car world has had brushless controllers for years that also can power brushed motors. It is all in the esc programming plus some internal changes. Mike M

Why would “Brushless be bad for our application?I’ve ordered a few of these controller from your link, I’ve also inquired from the company in Australia. I hope I get the PWM input on these (the photo did not cover the connectors), because the Talon SRX does not have the right input for the controller wire, and they have a full page of how to install the PWM wire… this is crazy that they have another input Loic From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcombat@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of TyngTech Sent: Friday, October 9, 2015 8:12 AM To: R/C Tank Combat Subject: [TANKS] Re: Successor of Talon This company is taking Turnigy 85A brushless controllers and modding them for brushed. It involves reflashing with new code and removing one of the motor leads. http://botbitz.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=52 The stock controller from HK: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10331__Turnigy_Brushless_ESC_85A_w_5A_SBEC.html I'd consider finding the OEM of the product and see if they would produce brushed versions for you. The code to do so is open source and freely available.

This ESC was very sturdy and I believe that I had only ONE that failed (out of 100+) Now I'm in discussion with "Cross the Road Electronics", and the successor of the Talon SR is the Talon SRX. I guess it comes with lots more "bells and whistle", which I don't really care for since the Talon SR was doing a great job My issue is PRICING: The new Talon SRX is $90. 50% increase cost on the ESC. Also, the discounts of the electronics world are abysmal. Do any of you have "other options"? I'm not interested building one. I just want a product OFF THE SHELF. I'm in urgent need of good, strong ESC for 24V applications - 100A peak operation (I have about 15 ESC required for current sales) Please help me! NOTE: the Victor is not applicable. It will only take a maximum voltage of 16V. Since I got the floor, let me show you a pic of a current project: I'm building an AAV-7 for an engineering firm contracting with the Army. It has a Fiberglass body, no suspension, but two jet propulsion on the side. I will post a video of its workings in the water-- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
