The control box for the phantom is also the battery charger. From my understanding, it was designed to shut off the charging function while operating the motor. Operating at WOT is fine but the signal will have to come from somewhere, so if the ESC is replaced, a stand alone battery charger will be required, along with a disable circuit so the alternator doesn't add engine load while the batteries are discharging. I think the phantom also has motor ramp-up for smoother boost engagement, and a polarity brake that acts like a bov for throttle lift-off and shifting. I don't know if any of these are common features for typical off the shelf ESC's.

Yes, it is a cryin' shame that robftss isn't making or supporting the Phantom ESC anymore. I have been unsuccessful in making contact with either robftss or fenton, which is consistent with a number of others experiences. If I had to guess, it seems the Phantom ESC tech was either purchased by someone or there was perhaps some legal action related to patent infringement. Whatever the case, there has been complete silence regarding my numerous requests for support and/or a replacement part so I am considering that a dead end.

I considered purchasing someone else's entire system just to get the controller box and perhaps have a bin of spares laying around, but the price point for the performance gain with this system was the main driver for my decision to invest the money, faith, and patience in the first place *trying not to cry*. As such, getting a new system sorta defeats the purpose of the low price point.

Anyway, if there isn't some sort of obvious "duh :bonk:" fix for my error or something that could serve as a drop in replacement for a reasonable amount of money, I will just likely put my system up for sale for anyone interested in tinkering with it. I just wanted to see if there wasn't a relatively simple and straightforward solution before giving up entirely.

These people are selling complete functional units as well as the compressor by itself.

I've seen their site before... i wish they had more info on their product though.

@al3k if you wanna buy a working compressor, the guys at torqamp also have a working model... they are generating 6psi if i recall.

So FYI, I've decided I am going to put my Phantom ESC compressor/motor up for sale. I'll be happy to include the non-functioning controller box as part of the sale at no extra cost if there is interest. I have to completely remove it from my car so I can take pictures, but I expect to post it in the classifieds by this weekend for anyone interested.

Recently made another video with testing of my custom electric compressor.
This time was achieved some decent 4,3PSI (0,3Bar) pressure on high rpms. The custom motor controller allows to measure RPMs, so this time it had about 60,000 RPM.
