12s esc from kershaw

[DUFFY]

I think he's making enough money at $250. Maybe $300 ish tops. If they break they are done, no one to turn to, no one can repair it or replace unless kershaw does that on his own. These are not plug and play escs, they used to really like to catch fire even if the timing is not set correctly,,,, Since most people don't have the slightest idea between a d wind and a wye wind they leave it at zero. Thats either bad for a-d wind- or really bad for a wye wind.

If you don't know what wind you have go with 5 degrees. It should at least work. From there test and go up and down from there one degree and if there is no difference then leave it.

I was cleaning up the XB-E while installing the Kershaw ESC and realized that I spun the other rear wheel hex. 12S power appears to be a little much for them.

Any issues with Baja wheels holding up to big power?

 

[Guest]

Look'n forward to it.

 

[DUFFY]

Nah Baja wheels will be fine.

 

[Deluge]

Baja wheels would be fine. They have metal sleeves that reinforce the hex.

 

[Kaz the Minotaur]

They are 24mm hex right?

 

[Deluge]

Yep. 24mm.

Ooh. Seeing this new 12S ESC, by humble Mamba XL2 has gone green with envy. I swear the heatsink was not that colour before!

 

[Deluge]

Ahaha. Nice.

 

[rookie101]

Any updates on this yet????

 

[Deluge]

Wondering about this, as well.

 

[Kaz the Minotaur]

No I've been sick and I'm working the next 3 days. I'm going to run it Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Thats the plan anyway.

 

[BoukeG]

Any pics on how you mounted it? I'm gonna get one too... Get well soon!

 

[ninjagaiden]

+1 on the get well soon buddy

+1 on the pics. Hard to get a sense of scale of the thing until it's mounted up.

I ran 2 screws through the rear brace and into the heat sink.

Dam that's huge!! I really hope it works well, I'm dying to get a new esc that will handle eight or more cells.

Hurry up and get well and go run it. What are you running for the rest of the system? Motor, gearing, wheels and tires, batteries?

"It's so big"

Leopard 5698 720KV on 12S 40C 5000mah Zippy batteries. Stock tires for now. I have it geared 12/41 now but the Dan @ Kershaw wants me to try

14T and 15T pinions.

 

[BoukeG]

That thing is huge for sure! You need a wide screen to view that image . 15T would give insane speeds with a 41 spur.

 

[Deluge]

That's a big bitch!
