RE: Brushless motor direct to battery without reciever???
[quote]ORIGINAL: AndyKunz They still use an ESC, the device they use is a timer that generates the signal as if it came from a receiver. I designed the one Bob Hunt flew at the Worlds several years ago. Andy [/quote] Hello Andy Do you or know any that does, sell something like this? I just need to run a brushless motor with a simple on and off switch. Thanks!

Brushless motor direct to battery without reciever???
I am working on a project and want to hook up a brushless motor direct to a battery, without a receiver. I simply need the brushless motor to turn off and on by a switch, and powered by a battery. It does not need any speed controlling. The servos will be powered by a seperate RX and battery. Has anyone tried this before? Is it possible with stock RC parts? Would I still need an ESC? Thanks!

RE: Run a brushless motor without ESC?
Thanks for the replies. I know I can run a brushless without a servo and I also know I can run a brushed motor. I just need an ESC without the throttle / speed connector that goes to the RX unit. My application requires a maintenance free motor, hence the brushless need. I dont need speed control or any knobs, just a simple straight 3.7 volts to a brushless motor with an on/off switch. Any ideas? Thanks.

Run a brushless motor without ESC?
I have a small project I am working on and would like to power a brushless motor without a reciever or possibly an ESC. This component of the project does not require a radio signal or transmitter/receiver. The objective is to have continuous power to the brushless motor with a simple on / off switch. I dont need it plugged into a receiver, but all brushless ESCs I can see have the RX connector for throttle or speed. Is there a simple hack or product that supplies constant voltage (off/on) to the brushless motor without the need for a receiver? thanks!
