Bandsaw

HI Alan, Must be serious no smiley's 😁 I have a Record Power BS12 which is not listed anymore but is similar in size to the BS300. its a great band saw and has always done everything I have asked of it and more, in hindsight I think it maybe a little too big for a hobby workshop, the wheel kit fitted is useless, 😫 I ended up making a trolley on castors to move mine around. I have had a bit of a problem with the on/off switch but Record Power have been absolutely brilliant with their warranty. 😊 😊 Cheers Shaun

Brushless Speed Controllers

HI Dave I can assure you that reverse is fully proportional over the reverse range you set. if you set 50% then full travel of stick in reverse will give motor speed of 50% but control is still proportional from stick centre (stop) to full reverse (50%) Useful for a boat with low transom where 100% reverse might swamp it. The percentages are set simply with the programming card Captain Flack, I agree with your friend 90A is overkill. With motor draw of 48A I think I would go for the 60A, rather not test how accurate HK's specs are! Wes

Mtronik Hydra 50

From giantshark.co.uk XYH35-36 1050kv 25A Brushless Outrunner EZRUN-25A-L-SL Brushless ESC for 1/18 Car I use these car ESC's because they have an additional mode called rock crawler which gives instant reverse. The water-cooled Sea versions only have a double click reverse mode which is slower and doesn't always happen. Useless for s. The EZRUN esc's come with instructions to program using the transmitter. if you can get a EZRUn Program Card it makes setup very quick. Not in stock at present Using this in a 36" Atlantic Challenger weighing approx 7lbs 50X prop and 7.2 NiMh 3300mA pack 20A car fuse. Peak current around 18A. Goes very well. if you want to go for higher voltage pack to get more speed then keep a check on the current. Start with a smaller prop. I keep a set of plastic X props from 35X to 55X. SHG Models have them at£1 each. The ESC will trip if it gets too hot, but shouldn't be relied on to save the Esc from overload Wattmeters to show watts amps peak amps etc are around £20 and is very useful if you are trying different props too. If you want to go to a high power motor then N3542/04-KV1250 Outrunner Brushless Motor with EZ-RUN 35A w/ Reverse program Brushless ESC or the 60A one is a next step Hope this will be of use. Any questions, I'll try to help.
