The
Dualsky SUMMIT 60 SLIM U8 is a high quality 60A ESC with a high voltage 8V 5A SBEC circuit. It should be used with HV servos and is suitable for use with 3S-6S LiPo batteries.
The Dualsky SUMMIT 60 SLIMU8 is very small - sized just 42 x 17 x 7 mm and only weighs 33g inc cables making it very suitable for competition electric gliders. The 17g Special Edition version shown in some of the photos is not currently available but is just the standard version with the motor leads removed. We reccomend this is done and the motor is soldered direct to the ESC if weight saving is a high priority.
The speed control is supplied with the brake ON, so no programming is required for glider use. .
Telemetry is supported using the KIS 24A protocol and is output to a blue wire next to the RC plug. The data output includes:
Temperature - degrees C
Volatage - V
Current - A
Rotation speed - electrical RPM - divide by motor poles/2 to convert to mechanical RPM.
Like our acclaimed HyperFlight ESCs this Dualsky ESC uses BLHeli-32 firmare. This makes it very efficient and thus small. However it also means that a PC and an Aurdino Nano or a
BL Heli USB Programming Interface is reqired to program it, if required.
Due to current supply issues these speed controls have been loaded with a developement version of the firmware and needs a special version of the the programmer called BLHeliSuite32Test. Please download the .zip file from here, unzip it and run BLHeliSuite32Test.exe to configure the speed control, if required.
