As I don’t have money for a VESC(€170 here in Europe…), I’m wondering what budget options there are for a 6S battery.
It would be nice if it had the capability of 8S, since that would later give me the option of switching to 8S for some more power
Which features does a Car ESC have, that a normal “plane” ESC doesnt have? Just regenerative braking?

EDIT:
Am i right to assume that an esc of 80Amps or above will be plenty for the Turnigy G160 245Kv? The HobbyKing page says “Max Current: 60A”
I don’t know that there is something such as a cheap 8s.
If you find one let me know! The fvt 120 from bangood is cheap enough to go for 6s to start with.
@Psychotiller I’m trying to shave off as much as possible though, and that EZRun esc is very expensive compared to the HobbyKing BlueSeries 85A… Will any car esc work?
@DeathCookies Have you used the ESC yet(The heli esc), or have you just ordered it? How is it riding without brakes, is it completely impossible or?
You could ofcourse either 1) Return the ESC, or 2) Buy an arduino, put that between the receiver and ESC, and then make it have a throttle curve, but that’d require you to know a bit of coding and such.
Easiest is probably to just return the esc, depending on shipping costs
