Kasama Dune 600 : Part 5 (ESC)

Finally I got the last component for Dune 600. I choose Castle Creation ICE2 HV 80A. Because the motor spec is suitable with this and factory claim that Dune 600 can use with 80A :) .

Kasama Dune 600 : Part 4 (Motor & Cable)

I choose Scorpion HK-III 4025-550KV. The motor size is so big but its look small when put into Dune 600. :-D For safely, please consider drill motor shaft. I use a hand drill tools.
