Hi All,

I've been running 3S in my Mini 8ight quite a lot and I think the ESC has finally given up the ghost; it won't turn on anymore. I've measured input current on the board so it's getting power and that's where it stops.

What would be a direct replacement for the ESC? I'm prepared to spend a decent amount of money on this providing it's on something that can handle 3S in it's stride.

I'm not clued up in the world of brushless electrics so it's all new to me, any help would be greatly appreciated.

you get the sencored and sencorless ecs and they can take 3s.

This is the one you want. The 25a is ok for 2s but the 60 will be much better for 3s. I use this with the fan removed.
