e-Miniature Aircraft Razor - Ion-X - Bandit > Hacker 77-0 Opto esc in an ION X--Help please

Does anyone here have any experience with this Hacker 77-0 ESC?

I got an ION and it has one of these ESC's ...but I have never used one before...I am considering using this until the new line of JAzz esc's come out...or I may just drop a powerjazz in it...but for now I am wondering if it's even worth trying to fly this Hacker?

I imagine it's probably programmed already but I am wondering if anyone knows what I need to do to (radio Setup) to get this thing to work right?


I have a jazz 55 esc I could also put into this heli for the short term...

Jag,

I've used the hacker 77 heli esc for a long time on an Ion-x with a number of different motors. It works fine on 10s but the gov mode does not work well and you are better to use a 100% flat idle-up throttle curve. This will help keep the esc temps cooler.

I always used the hacker prog box to program this esc but you can also stick program it. See the manual at;

http://www.hacker-motor.com/images/...manual-Engl.pdf

The only two things you need to program are the motor timing (I always used 0-5 deg) and the non-gov mode.

I've tried a Kontronik 55-10-32 on my 10s Ion-x but even with a heatsink, I managed to thermal the esc a few times so I stopped using it. Too bad since the gov mode worked so well.

I have now gone to the Kontronik PowerJazz esc, and it's the best esc I've ever used!

Good luck and cheers,
Tom C

Awesome!

Thanks for the info TomC...I really appreciate it

I'll try running the hacker for a few flights...and then I'll get the powerjazz if I like the heli..

We pulled the hacker 77-0 (flight) off the Ion Mark bought. and i used it on the Logo for a while till it blew up and shot smoke and flames out the side of it ... i was running it on 6s instead of 10s
with the Ion motor at the time. not sure if this is what caused the flame out or what. The soft start wasn't soft and forget gov mode as Tom was saying.

Maybe its me personally, but I haven't had luck with many hacker products that I have purchased. I still use a 77 opto in my ion which is working okay, but kind of still wish to use something else.

What I want soo much should never hurt this bad

Hacker...

I don't personally trust the Hackers...so I pulled the Opto 77 off and put a powerjazz in it's place

That should do the trick
