ESC HOW TO - stop your BAtteries Arcing out when connecting up!

[xokia]

After all the fires CC has against it, you would think they would get rid of it (the spark) just for peace of mind for their customers. But hats off to Jeti! For stepping up and fixing a problem that wasn't their's. I know next esc I buy will come with some kind of asc and it won't be a CC! For those of you who don't like the "friend", give this a try. Think you'll like it!

I don't know how they would get rid of it. You are charging up some large caps in those ESC's that is why there is spark. You are going from 0 potential to what ever the battery potential is instantly. They could design some internal circuit to do what you are doing with the resistor but it would be likely unreliable and not worth the risk. The resistor you are putting in series just limits the current and charges those capacitors up slower which results in no spark. So I dont know that the request you're asking is reasonable.
