rcmonkey.jp carries G-FORCE's first Hirosaka ESC lecture

ラジコンもんちぃ, at rcmonkey.jp, writes up in Japanese what RC makers, shops and tracks have just announced — one short post per announcement, credited and linked back to the source.

Its September 30 item reports that G-FORCE has published the first part of a Masami Hirosaka drift lecture series on ESCs, 「広坂正美のドリフト講座シリーズ / ESC編 その1」. The opening theme is what you can actually do with an ESC for a brushless motor, and Hirosaka covers the ESC's basic role and how it differs from one for a brushed motor.

The settings the post lists are: whether reverse is available, rpm at full throttle, brake characteristics, and timing advance through boost and turbo. Depending on the unit, frequency, battery cutoff voltage and BEC output voltage can also be adjusted. It also addresses what drift driving asks for — smooth acceleration, with rpm available in the moments you need it. The report does not name specific G-FORCE ESC models.

The one-point advice is a method rather than a number: adjust the ESC, the motor and the transmitter separately. Fix the motor-side timing, change ESC settings, and the difference is easier to read. Part two is themed on how ESC timing advance differs from motor timing advance.
