The engineers at Medusa Research, Inc. have developed
ESCs for brushed motors to provide R/C enthusiasts
with unparalleled control and versatility. Each
ESC has been designed specifically for remote control
applications. Extensive engineering has produced
ESCs that are durable enough for buggies, trucks,
and cars yet small and light enough for aircraft.
All Medusa Research ESCs are compatible with NiMH,
NiCd, and Lithium batteries for further versatility
and are customizable through an innovative programming
system. User-programmable options include brake
behavior, throttle behavior including linear and
exponential profiles, throttle range, throttle ramp
speed, battery type, and low-battery behavior. These
options are selected and adjusted through the transmitter
control stick and are stored in non-volatile memory
so they remain set even when the ESC is switched
off and the battery is removed. The ESCs also feature
unmatched protection systems. True overcurrent and
short circuit protection measures actual current,
not component temperature to detect short circuit
and overcurrent situations. An on-board temperature
sensor keeps watch for overtemperature conditions.
During overcurrent or overtemperature situations,
the output to the motor is smoothly reduced rather
than suddenly cutting off the motor to avoid damage
to gearboxes and to retain control. Medusa Research
brushed motor ESCs are equipped with a built-in
Battery Eliminator Circuit that runs the receiver
and servos off of the main battery, eliminating
the need for a smaller secondary battery pack. Medusa
Research ESCs are an effective, easy to use, wallet-friendly
solution to your R/C motor control needs.
(not for Brushless motors)
Medusa Research's
line of ESCs include all of the features of the
ESCs (detailed above). In addition, they are equipped
with an on-board switching-regulator BEC. This BEC
technology is capable of handling up to 24 volts
while powering 4 servos. Compared to the
line this BEC allows for higher cell-count batteries
and more servos while still eliminating cumbersome
secondary battery packs.
