Feigao airplane speedo control in buggy???
I have had this speed control from my flying days,its 100 amp,can anyone tell me if this would work in a buggy with stock motor?Just thought I would ask here before trying and frying.Im thinking it may not be able to handle the load in a car with the lack of a heat sink.

Re: Feigao airplane speedo control in buggy???
I remember when I first got back into r/c trying to figure out the modern gear. If I remember the big problem with aircraft ESCs is that there is no brake and often just forward. So if you can live with bouncing off things to slow you down, then go for it!! 

The preceding contained opinions, beliefs and thoughts that all may not agree with. No offense was intended at any point. Carry on.

The other thing that I thought of is that there is essentially no load on an aircraft, unlike a ground vehicle that has significantly more resistance and a constantly varying load, most of it high.

You need to convert the signal to work with your radio. Something like this... http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=msw-pistix

Other than the mentioned braking and reverse issues - Aircraft speedies almost always have pretty severe "cogging" when used in a car.
