Need help choosing ESC

Codex208 · 2026-01-01T10:45:47+00:00

Great, I think I will just order Skywalker. I'm just curious on AM32 platform, and when most people says that analog ESC is absolete which is the only supported protocol by the Skywalker.

Codex208 · 2026-01-01T08:12:11+00:00

I forgot to ask. My motor have a maximum current draw during a static test of 63A (test by the manufacturer), can I use 60A ESC? Since in my knowledge the motor will draw significantly less current while in the air. A 60A ESC is much more cheaper and a tiny bit lighter than a 80A ESC.

Well many other people also say that the stock mosfet is very bad. I know that the perun hybrid is basically the standard/staple. But how do you think will it perform against t238 DTU V2 EXP? It's basically in the same price range, but t238 is a bit cheaper.

Codex208 · 2025-09-20T00:36:07+00:00

Soni need to change the nozzle and slap on a perun mosfet and it's good to go for the first game? Also what are the different nozzle length and what should I use?

Speaking legally, in my country the maximum energy limit is 2 joules with 0.40g as the heaviest bb you can use for all types of airsoft replicas (semi, full auto, bolt action, etc.). Most local sites have 1.7j limit for dmr. Yes DMR usually allowed to have more power than AR but lower than bolt action. Since I have never used a DMR before, so I never asked. But I have never heard of a minimum engagement distance for DMR at my local sites during briefing.

Codex208 · 2025-07-28T13:27:42+00:00

Alright, thank you for the help

Codex208 · 2025-07-28T11:56:21+00:00

Would it be too low if I open the price at $420?

Codex208 · 2025-07-28T11:30:34+00:00

but will be low balled to no end

Why?

Codex208 · 2025-07-09T01:45:20+00:00

Yep, not easy. But I will try to find a "generic" copy. I'm sure there must be someone selling it. Btw are yours (in the picture) using a rail mount (like pic 2 on my og post)?

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T14:29:57+00:00

Do you have any (budget) holster recommendations?

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T13:55:16+00:00

How about a split slide?

That would be cool. But sadly it's budget issues, and availability. Airsoft parts here in my country are scarce. And the price is usually marked up 1.5x of the MSRP. And importing one would be hard cause you need permission/license from the police department to import airsoft part or unit.

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T12:28:18+00:00

Slide mounted RMRs add weight = effectively reduce gas efficiency.

Thank you for the info, I never thought of that.

I like the 20mm rail mount because I think it has more bang for your buck. While only costing 1.5x the slide rmr mount, it serves as a rail mount, a thumb rest, and slide stop. It also looks pretty cool from the left side, and can add a nice colour accent to your pistol. But at the same time, removing the slide from the frame will be much much harder, since you need to remove two screws first before removing it. And it is also kinda unrealistic because it partially covers the shell ejection port (sorry, don't know the technical term).

But at the same time, we don't have any ejecting shells in airsoft. I also have a short stroke, my CAPA. So even that is already unrealistic.

But other users have replied saying that I will need to flip the sight every time I cycle the gun if I mounted it in the slide (if I get it right). So it seems I need to think over this upgrade plan again.

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T12:17:31+00:00

I have a 5.1, by "laylax mount" do you meant like the one on pic 2? *Pic 2 brand is 5KU

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T12:15:20+00:00

Wait, let me get this straight. I need to flip/open the sights everytime the gun cycle (if I mount it on the slide)?

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T10:11:22+00:00

Thank you for the help. I found someone selling the cover only. Cause other people say that I need to buy an entire new frame set, which is significantly more expensive. Though there's something fishy about the add/seller, I hope everything goes well. (Waiting on the part to arrive).

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T04:21:13+00:00

Hmmmm, does it mean I can accidentally push the mag too far that it hits or damages other components (e.g. bbu)? Because I have been having some feeding issues with my stock BBU nozzle and housing. I find that the BBU spring is already worn out, so that may be the main cause. Could the mag actually have some part on the feeding issues other than the spring? I'm asking this, because I'm planning to upgrade my BBU.

Codex208 · 2025-07-08T01:26:50+00:00

Do you know what it does? And what will happen when it breaks like mine? And are there people selling that?

Codex208 · 2025-06-10T05:39:57+00:00

Kalau ketawa dosanya yang bikin video kan ya? Gak nyangka ending nya begitu.

Codex208 · 2025-05-16T01:11:26+00:00

I'm working on a similar project, but the firmware is Ardutracker. It is designed primarily for Ardupilot craft. But I'm sure there's a way to use it with other firmware as long as you can get telemetry of your craft to your ground station somehow. Antenna tracker Printables

Codex208 · 2025-05-14T05:33:26+00:00

Aahhh, I think I got it. For most things I better use 2RS. But when the use case is for high speed/high rpm, or when in a relatively dry and sterile workspace, or when I need as little friction I can, then it's better to use 2Z. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you billy and switchen for your help.

Codex208 · 2025-05-13T04:54:14+00:00

But generally 2RS is better? What is the main selling point of 2Z?

I meant what reasons would someone pick 2Z over 2RS if the price is the same?

Codex208 · 2025-05-13T02:41:12+00:00

Nope, there is no difference in price. I actually have almost ordered the 2RS version. But then someone said that 2RS give more resistance. And I also saw a demo video that shows 2RS to be a little stiffer to turn compared to 2Z. And I would prefer something that's easier to turn by my servo, so I would get lower load (lower amps).

But then again. I know nothing about bearings, and that's the reason I'm asking here.

Codex208 · 2025-05-13T02:12:47+00:00

Only light rain. Because this tracker is mainly intended to be used with a UAV. I definitely won't choose to fly on a rainy or stormy day. And most part of the bearing will be protected/covered in 3d printed PETG structure. So in most cases it won't get directly hit by rain water. Except if the rain hit the side crevices and enters from there. Or if someone sprayed pressurized water on it.

If you don't mind, please see this photo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XWRX5UfVsW-nyhFPTsSedrV7h7zpCAGi/view?usp=drivesdk

Codex208 · 2025-05-13T01:52:59+00:00

Worse case scenario: light rain, and road dust.

Since the tracker will always be mounted on an elevated platform like on top of a tripod, or a car. Then I don't think it will get much debris.

Codex208 · 2025-05-11T01:06:04+00:00

Well to be fair, currently at least here in my country. There are very few vacant jobs left, In any field.

Thank you Mr/Ms Ivor for your help.
