Re: ESCs and experiences.
The ESC that claims to be brushless is really brushed. A brushless controller would have three connections for the motor rather than two. I'll think about the "turbo lag". https://www.banggood.com/MicroRC-5A-Bi-Directional-Brushed-ESC-For-RC-Car-p-1056732.html?rmmds=detail-left-hotproducts...

Re: ESCs and experiences.
Kiklo, I wonder if you have forward and reverse exchanged on your troublesome ESC. If it has brakes that's the way it should work but in reverse.

Re: 2.4ghz cars
I had thought of trying little rollers(tiny wheels) on the magnet arm that would set the clearance to the wire. I'd have to actually get something running first, of course.

Re: Mini ESCs for Brushed Magracing Motors
The tiny receiver/esc combo is the Spektrum protocol. I don't know who makes it but probably not Frsky. Spektrum makes some pistol-grip radios but they are expensive compared to the Flysky.

Re: 2.4 GH working combinations.
Kim, are there magnets in your new design to do the pushing and pulling? Or is it all mechanical?

Re: 2.4 GH working combinations.
Very impressive, Kim. I see your ESC is working on one cell. I better do some more investigation.

Re: 2.4 GH working combinations.
Sorry Kim, I saw Ned's name on the index and though he had started the thread.
Can someone measure the Flysky receiver without it's case?
