imho the interference isnt coming from the speed controller its far more likely that its coming from the motors themselves. in the ARC cars we would put capacitors on the motor leads to dampen down the electrical spikey interference but this is only an option on the forward only use motors as youd see in a "racing" rc car... the racing ESCs didnt have reverse capability, and with the capacitors you cant use reverse anyways because reverse charging a cap is bad news.
best practice on the cars was to locate the receiver as far away from the batteries, power wires, and motor as possible. moving a servo wasnt really possible since those locations were dictated by chassis design. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Rochford" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 1:35:51 PM Subject: [TANKS] MAG esc`s in tanks Tonight I want to talk about on/off Mag speed controllers.The beauty of these devices is they are cheap and easily mend-able. with no more school money for a while they are my best option. I have made MAG esc`s in the past to power the drive motors of various vehicles only to find that the electrical interference makes the servos go wild and therefor the unit undrivable, However I have been given a number of servos, enough to build MAG sc`s for 4 tanks. so Id like to give them a go. I have attached a paint picture of my very simple idea, instead of having the servo close to the micro switches I plan to move them away form the electrical noise with an extension arm operating a swiveling offset circle. . Can anyone think of a reason why this wont work. Many thanks Neil R -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
