MADMAX-8 V2 ESC 32-BIT 550-2000A
The world's most efficient, modern & powerful ESC 8S
New MADMAX-8 V2 ESC. Impressive amount of available continuous and peak current. We are still looking for a brushless motor capable of extracting all the absurd power that this controller can deliver. Designed for the craziest 1/5 light-duty trucks, 1/6 short course trucks, monster trucks, 1/7 on-road vehicles, short course trucks, 1/8 monster trucks (heavy-duty)
1. MADMAX Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC)
Designed to increase the power of brushless motors, providing high reliability and stability and easy-to use, besides high-performance. That's what MAD (Magnet Aero Dynamic) is committed to doing
2. Excellent Commutation Scheme
Quick response in speed. MADMAX Controllers provide smooth start, when you push the throttle, you can feel immediate increase in speed. It’s like that you get a quick response from mechanical supercharger.
3. High-Performance
Quick and smooth start provide wild performance. MADMAX Controllers can let you feel the LAUNCH CONTROL, like the supercars performing in racing, you passion will be evoked.
4. Current Detection Limiting in Each PWM Cycle
This measure will reduce impact of pulse current on motor. MADMAX Controllers will process current 20 thousand times per second, so we can get response in time and don’t need to shut down speed controllers. Comparing to MAD Controllers disposal, the traditional methods on processing overcurrent and short circuit are really inefficient. How do the traditional approaches process overcurrent? ESCs will process overcurrent 10 times per second before executing control measures such as dropping power, shut down ESCs. This method is too slow. For short circuit, ESCs will be shut down immediately, it’s quick but the experience is really not good.
5. Turbo Timing Adapts for Any Motors
This function will increase max RPM of motor, unleashing its power potential. Especially, MADMAX Controllers can handle this function on any motors. Comparing to rivals, most of brands have to let their products (ESCs) match the specific motors to release this function. With MADMAX Controllers you don’t need to worry about the matching issue, just use with confidence.
6. Mobile App for Programming
Operation data observation interface for users to view static data (ESC records) and real-time data (real-time tuning data), making accessories or parameter matching much clear. MAD is one of the pioneers that bring built-in Bluetooth for direct connection to Mobile App for programming to electronic speed controller for RC car, forgetting the Programming Box and Programming-Card.
7. Built-in Bluetooth for Communication
Communication with mobile for firmware update or parameter setting, fast and convenient. Many top brands still require additional Bluetooth, programming box and wires, making experience complex, costly and inconvenient. MADMAX Controllers combine technology and use-to-use, and is going to emerge as a major player in speed control field

PROGRAMMABILITY
2.1 Running Mode:
Option 1: Forward with brake
The vehicle can only move forward and has brake function. This is also commonly acceptable at races.
Option 2: Forward/Reverse and Brake
This option is known to be the “training” mode with “Forward/Reverse with Brake” function. The vehicle only brakes on the first time you push thethrottle trigger to the reverse/brake zone. If the motor stops when the throttle trigger return to the neutral zone and then re-push the trigger toreverse zone, the vehicle will reverse if the motor does not completely stop, then your vehicle won’t reverse but still brake, you need to return the throttle trigger to the neutral zone and push it to reverse zone again. This method is for preventing vehicle from being accidentally reversed
Option 3: Forward and Reverse
When the throttle trigger is pushed from neutral to reverse point, the motor reverses. This mode is generally used in special vehicles.
2.2 Lipo Cells:
Set the correct value according to the actual number of Lipo batteries used. The default is automatically calculated.
2.3 Low Voltage Cut-Off:
This function is mainly to prevent excessive discharge of lithium batteries causing damage. The ESC monitors the battery voltage at all times, and once the voltage falls below the set threshold, the power output is reduced and the power output is completely cut off after a few seconds,and generates a 10% braking force. ForNiMH batteries, it is recommended to set this parameter to “Disabled”.
2.4 Motor Rotation:
Setting the rotation of the motor. Due to some differences with the drivetrains on different car kits, it is possible to that the car will go in the opposite directionupon full throttle. In the event that this happens, you can set the“motor rotation direction” to the opposite direction; “CW” or “CCW”.
2.5 BEC Voltage:
BEC voltage support 6V/7.4V/8.4V. Generally, 6.0V is suitable for standard servos, while 7.4V/8.4V is suitable for high-voltage servos. Please set according to the servo specifications. WARNING! Do not set the BEC voltage above the maximum operating voltage of the servo, as this may damage the servo or even the ESC
2.6 Max. Brake Force:
This ESC provides proportional braking function; the braking effect is decided by the position of the throttle trigger. It sets the percentage of available brakingpower when full brake is applied. Large amount will shorten the braking time but it may damage your pinion and spur gear
2.7 Max. Reverse Force:
Refers to the reversing speed. Selecting different parameter values can produce different reversing speed. It is recommended to use a smaller reversing speed toavoid errors caused by reversing too quickly.
2.8 Punch:
Set in 1-9 stages, the higher the set value, the faster the acceleration. Kindly take into consideration according to the site, tire grip characteristics vehicleconfiguration etc. An aggressive setting may cause the tire to slip, the starting current to be too large and adversely affect the electronics performance.
2.9 Drag Brake Force:
Refers to the brake force generated by the motor when the throttle trigger returns to neutral position. Choose the appropriate value according to the type of vehicle configuration, site, etc
2.10 Turbo Timing
The Turbo timing can additionally increase the motor RPM. It will initiate at full throttle. It is usually used on a long straight road to release the maximum power of the motor. The higher this value is, the more the RPM of the motor will increase, and the greater the running current will be the higher the temperature of the motor and esc. Therefore, please set this value reasonably
2.11 Turbo delay
It refers to the duration of continuous full throttle required to trigger Turbo. When the full throttle time reaches this set value, Turbo can be triggered to turn on
2.12 Initial PWM:
Also called minimum starting force, it refers to the starting force acting on the motor at the initial position of the throttle. The required starting force can be set according to the tires and site grip. If the venue is too slippery, set a smaller starting force to avoid slipping
SPECIFICATIONS
1. Power Supply: 3-8S LiPo / DC 12-34V (when using DC power supply, its discharge/braking power recovery capability must be considered. If the power supply capability is limited, the operating parameters can be adjusted appropriatey)
2. Recommended Motor: Sensorless or sensored square wave control of brushless motors
3. Motor Speed: Supports 240.000RPM electrical speed (when the number of pair pole pairs is 1, the electrical speed is exactly equal to the mechanical speed. Others: Electrical speed = Mechanical speed x Number of pole pole pairs = KV value x Bus voltage x Number of pole pair (just ensure that electrical speed does not exceed 240.000RPM)
4. Power Supply for BEC: Voltage 6.0V/7.4V/8.4V (it can switch the voltage through the mobile APP software). Current: 8A continuously, 25A short-term

When a short-circuit current occurs in the fan, the power supply will enter the test mode. If the power supply is abnormal after repeated three times, the fan power supply will be turned off, but the ESC can still work normally
