Has anyone used this product with success??? Is it worth it??? Waste of time??? I am building my second Cub right now. This one is going to have all new gear.(DX-6, B/L,etc) I was thinking of using the Brush2less on my original Cub. That one is kinda like a test bed for new ideas. Any thoughts???

Idea is the same, I was just wondering if anyone has used it personally. Also, to hear personal opinions as to whether or not it is a waste... Thanks in advance |

I'm certainly no expert but it looks to me like the Brush2less is for after market components. Like what your planning to use, Looks like it would save you from having to get a BL speed control. If you have a BL control then you would not need it. If the DX-6 comes with a brushed speed control, then it might be worth giving it a shot. This one is as stated, for the stock gear I know that this did answer your specific question, as I have no experience with it. But I thought I add my .02 I want to upgrade my radio in worst way, but as the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Radio will probably be a winter upgrade since Ihave that to contend with  |

it should work fine. I don't understand why people that sell these things though charge so much. It's a $1.50 PIC and a transistor on that HELI version. Should be selling for $15 or less IMHO. If you wait a few weeks, I'll show yo how to make one yourself.
What it does is take the brushed motor signal output that would normally drive the brushed motor, and convert that to a standard servo output 50mS PWM signal to drive a brushless ESC. The brushed motor output is a straight forward PWM (pulse-width-modulated) signal whose duty cycle determines the motor speed. The frequency is usually in the vincinity of 1Khz (it is for the HZ/PZ stuff). So you can keep all your current gear and just add a brushless ESC that this would feed and of course your brushless motor.
