Does this unit have a soft start and a governor for heli use

Gee it would be nice if it came into stock. Last I heard there was supposed to be 300 in stock and now it's back to -1 so they only got 100.
Cripes!

I have two of the older version and all ok. One of the new version on 10s I lose the bottom 1/3 of my throttle. Have to set my trim to full trim to even get any result from this setup. Running 63-64 turnigy. Also cannot get my card to work on the new version.
help please.

The ESC seems much modified to the original, mine have 3 input capacitors, not the two i'm used to. The FETs are now metal cased and the board is not fully populated, which suggests better quality. Havent tried it on the LED style programming board, but the PCB boards have HW on them, and it looks very similar to my k-force 120HV. I'd dare to suggest they are made in that factory. No spark arrestfly-lead on these though, so I will have to fit my own. 1500uF in total, same as 120 kforce, which HAS got the resistor on

Zitat von "Fahrenheit-145":
"""Du wirst keinen Regler finden der bis 12S/36Zellen geht mit BEC.
P.S.Schreibe zukünftig in Englisch,nur sehr wenige deutschsprechende wirst du hier finden"""
Was fr ein vollkommender Bldsinn! Ich fliege z.B. meinen T-Rex 700E mit einem Kontronik Jive HV 80+ mit einwandfreien internen BEC an 14S LiFePo4 und 12S LiPo.
Anscheinend weit du nicht wieviele deutsche hier einkaufen und auerdem ist es jedem selber berlassen in welcher Sprache er hier schreibt oder hat Textronik hierfr Regeln aufgestellt?

Cool down, auch wenn du aus Hamburg stammst brauchst dich nicht gleich so aufspielen...
Falls es dir noch nicht aufgefallen ist befinden wir uns hier in einem Shop in dem ENGLISCH als Umgangssprache BLICH ist,und in diesem Shop findest du definitiv KEINEN der mit BEC hher als 8 Zellen geht,Oder bist du anderer Meinung??Weiters ist es ein Akt der Hflichkeit sich hier anzupassen(sprachlich)UND es ist eine gewisse Aroganz und Ignoranz dies nicht zu tun...(P.S.Die Herrenrasse hat nicht gewonnen....denk mal darber nach!)

Update: I removed the Sentilon 100A HV from my and installed a Castle 85HV, and all 'misfiring' / mis-sync issues went away. So its not my motor, battery etc. Its the Sentilon.
That said, I check with two of my other heli buddies also using Sentilons, and they said they didn't have any issues. So my unit could be a dud.
How do I send this back for repair / replacement?

Are your friends using governor mode and is the soft start working well for them?

No governor mode. The "soft start" for these ESCs are not exactly 'soft'. More like 'rough' start. LOL.

Had a few flights with this ESC on my Trex600 8s1p and Z-Power 780kv outrunner.
Soft start isn't soft at all. Also having some bad sync issues when throttling up, especially around mid throttle. I've tried it on Mid and High timing, with Mid timing giving more 'misfires'. Will try Low timing today.
Good thing is it doesn't shut down when doing this - only loses power for an instant - so my bird remains flying.
Can't say I'm not disappointed. This is not a plug and play ESC as advertised.

Using this ESC with 12S and a large outrunner, it won't correctly start up. I tried adding larger capacitors (1000uF instead of 470uF), shorten cables etc. without success. When setting the throttle to a little amount, it will not start rotating, but zaps around and pumps too much current in the motor (stop immediately when you see this, it will burn up your motor!) To start it up, I had to give about 40-50% throttle for a short time, which spins it up correctly most of time.
I had to program about 7% throttle delay to avoid sync loss when kicking full throttle.
I tried out all settings for low mid and high timing.
With 10S LiPo, the Sentilon worked correctly, no complaints.
I replaced it with a Castle 85HV - which starts up as smooth as a baby, no sync losses whatever I do with the thottle stick, about 12% less current for same RPM **- but it costs twice as much. As always: You get what you pay for...

I have this ESC and will be using it with a Welgard 6362-10 286kv 14 pole motor. I see your note saying that some large motors need to run high timing or risk burning out the ESC. Should I run high timing with this motor or not? The instructions for the motor or ESC do not specify. Thank you.

J'arrive pas a le faire fonctionner avec la carte de programation.
J'ai essayé indiferament avec les deux prises "radios" du controlleur sans succès.
Y'a t-il un ordre de branchement a respecter entre l'accu / le lipo et le controlleur ?

Hallo
Ja er hat einen governor mode allerdings meine ich die Ver.4, welche allerdings schon überarbeitet wurde. Am Bild sieht man 2 Elkos es sind aber drei verbaut. Softanlauf ist wirklich soft, gov. funktioniert tadellos habe ihn in einen TT620SE Hubi mit 2x5S Rihno 4900.Es gibt beim anstecken des 10S pack nur mehr einen kleinen bis garkeinen blitzer mehr. Bin restlos zufrieden damit im Hubi.

I have a Sentilon 100HV unit version 3.1 (the old one) with a Turnigy 64-63 230kv motor. My Funtana 2x2 died yesterday due to a lost sync between ESC and motor in a torque roll maniouver. I'm a little frustrated. Has anyone tested a similar combination (timing was high) with the 4.0 version and verify if the lost sync failure has been gone away??

Sorry to hear of your loss. Even after years of seeing many aircraft crashes it still gets to me. No matter how good or bad the plane may be. Now for some info, I run the Turnigy 63-64 B on a Sentilon 100HV spinning a Turnigy 20x10. No sync loss although on my Sebart Sukhoi 140 I rarely get to 3/4 throttle and hovers around 1/2.

Tested the Sentilon 100HV with Turnigy SK 63-74 170v at 10S. When opening throttle quickly, I get reproducable sync loss. Will not use this setup in any plane, until I know if it's the motor or the ESC.
Further, I can't get it to work with 12S, it doesn't start...

Found out that this is a stability problem. Too long and thin wires, too small capacities... After shortening the wires from battery to ESC, and taking thicker ones, plus adding some capacitors (1000uF / 50V), it worked. Much less sync loss risk! I've found out that the start up behavior of the motor is directly linked to potential sync loss. If it starts up with shaking and screaming only, you risk to have sync loss during flight. The opposite needs to be checked (smooth startup, no sync loss - I'm not sure about this!)

Hi Hugo
It has two 470uF 50v capacitors. I've wrote this elsewhere but my new one has 3 capacitors now, still 470uF....and a revised powerboard, bearing a striking similarity to the KForce ESC's I've replaced them with 2 low ESR 1000uF caps rated to 63V. Not convinced that these ESC's are good for 3D in any guise.

Hi,
you're right, fire42, I wouldn't use this in for 3D or any other really critical application... Changed to Castle 85HV, all problems gone now.

Quick question.. Why would you buy the HV controller at $100 when you plan on running 4s? Why not buy the 2s-6s 100 amp version at $65 instead?
Mine works fine on 10 cell. I haven't tried it out yet on 12 cell. Still have to actually fly a plane with it installed as well, but the bench tests are looking good. The high timing mode seems to apply to motors over 50 mm in diameter. My 50-65 worked fine with it on default timing on 8 cell. When I tested a towerpro 235kv 5330 on 10s with it, I got the weird funky screeching noises at 1/2 throttle. High timing took care of it, & but also increased the amp draw. Increasing the pulse width modulation (PWM) brought the amps back down some.

I got it for a HV setup but as it was suppose to work on 4s at the time I tried to use it in a 4s setup. I have since got the 2-6s version :D

when the battery voltage sags below 13v in my setup the red led starts flashing and a slow beep comes out, so id very much doubt 2 cells is going to power it. havent tested it conclusively though

I may have missed it but is this not a 5 cell minimum ESC. I know the picture says 2-12 for some weird reason but the specs say 5-12 cells. Could that be why the ESC was not powering up with only 4 cells that Stephen was using? Larry

Here's my video of a 3D Yak using this ESC and other Turingy power systems parts. I get about 3:30 flights using 80% rule for big lipo batterys.
This is a 12S1P setup with this ESC. No problems drawing 100+ amps in burst
