It isn't hard to make an unregulated PSU.

www.ebay.com/itm/24V-LARGE-POWER-TRANSFO...d:g:AI4AAOSwrhBZCRLN

+ rectifier + capacitor.


Can you give me some schematics?

...Meanwhile.....
I wasn`t patient enough to wait someone to answer my questions about esc :-) ...so,
i bought this items :
ESC
Mystery Firedragon RC 80A 2-6s ESC for helicopter BEC UBEC U-BEC Brushless
Servo tester
Professional TECH Electronic Speed Controller ESC EK2-0907 Upgraded Servo Tester | eBay

i think the psu will be 2x old atx (12v/30a)+ battery(~80A)...
What you think about ESC and PSU combo?
Cheers!

It's about as simple as it can be. Transformer to rectifier AC in, Capacitor across rectifier DC out. That's it.
For extra credit add a fuse and a bleed-off resistor.

??? someone...please help...
1. i need to know is my ESC purchase good?
2. Is psu+ battery combo good? I was reading somewhere about this but i don`t know how to connect , so please some schematics or tutorial.

It looks like you will need to buy plugs, of some sort.

The ESC is rated for 6 LiPo cells, which is only 22.2 V. You might be pushing it a bit hard with 24V.

The servo tester is probably useful for testing and manual speed control. In CNC use you would probably run the servo with a PWM from the parallel port.

if i droped voltage on psu to 22v?

I`ll use servo tester for beginning this build. Later, if everything works good , i`ll hook this esc to arduino with display to show me the rpm, and this arduino to another " main" arduino+ cnc shield. But , that is my noobish idea for latter on.
At least i saw this esc controled by arduino + display rpm video on youtube. :-)

The motor is declared to 3-8s. Is there will be some problems?

No, motors can handle very high voltages. Even the most basic magnet wire is good to several hundred volts, and the voltage difference between adjacent windings is tiny.

Sorry, i wasn`t clear enough. Motor is 3-8s but esc is 2-6s (22.2V) , and the psu is 24v.
You said that 24V would be problem.
So if i lower voltage to 22V... would that be a good combination?

6S=6x4.2V=25.2V so 24V is all good. Li-Ion have a nominal voltage of 4.2 when full dropping to 3.7V on mobile phones ( phone shuts down at 3.7V ), but on RC stuff the lower limit is 2.5 to 2.7V per cell. High quality cells have protection that will cut power at 2.5V to protect from over discharging.
