Homebrew ESC Information
Hey Guys,
A few years ago, there was an article in the forums here about how early ESC's were made with some components of a servo. I believe it was Tamiyadan that did the original thread? Anyway I have a project in front of me that I would like to build a "replica" of one of those early ESCs for, and I cannot find the thread for the life of me! Does anyone have a link to it? I would really appreciate it as it had the exact information I am looking for. Thanks!!!

A pic I stole from Incredible_Serious' recent Jerobee auction.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: Homebrew ESC Information
There was a forum member called Tamiya Dan who deleted all his posts when he left , the thread was probably one of his and is now lost , sorry .makoman1860 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 9:30 pmThats the ESC I am trying to duplicate!

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
