Hi, just wondering what frequency to use for my Tribunus 80 esc, when using Spirit governor.
I could just use the lowest 60hz setting, but I am obviously looking for the best result.
Also I am not sure what would happen if the esc is run at a higher than optimal frequency.

I contacted Scorpion about this, and they said that they are not familiar with the Spirit unit, so have no idea what frequency would be best, but I could use 60hz.
They also said they had never tested a higher frequency so had no idea what would happen.
Thomas has said that most modern escs should be able to handle 200hz, but it is not a definitive answer to my question.
Also I do not know what would happen if the esc does not work with a higher frequency, what symptoms would this produce?

Hi,

for Scorpion please use 60Hz.

Behavior with higher frequency could be unpredictable, ESC could even overheat, governor might not work properly, etc.
It is very hard to say but if manufacturer do not recommend it, then please stay with 60Hz.

Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply.
I will use 60hz so, just to be safe.
