20 pounds and esc's

[auto2]

for some reason i just think 150 amps and 6s isnt gonna cut it. i'm thinking 2 esc's hooked up to one motor with a battery pack for each esc. is that possible?

 

[fastlane]

I think it would not work that way but you never know.

I think this set up will fry my self. I asked Ali what temps he was seeing but no response. Castle makes that new system but they want blood for it! LOL!

 

[igetbombed]

Castle is smoking crack with their pricing!

You got that backward. They know the HPI guys are hooked like crackheads so they are gonna charge whatever they want for it.

 

[fastlane]

Yeah they are. I can't wait for these to hit the market just hope I get one before they run out.

But if ya gamble on a cheap system......you will pay in the long run...

If you parallel the two battery packs and use one ESC you would have the same voltage but it would give you more amperage to run(Better Punch)

this is true.

I think it'll work. First I've seen alot of 15 lb 1/8 scale MT's running 80A ESCs without a problem.


Oh here's a link to the ESC:

Here's some specs. NOTICE: it's rated at 150A continous and 1080A burst. That's gonna be hard to overload with only 6s pushing 20 lbs. 4s pushing 15 lbs 1/8 MT run off 80A ESC's without problems. 5s on 120A ESC's with same weights run trouble free. Anyways here the specs:


1.1 Output: Continuous current 150A, burst current 1080A.


1.2 Input: 6-18 cells NiMH/NiCd or 2-6 cells LiPo.


1.3 BEC Output: 5.75V/3A (Switch mode built-in BEC).


1.4 Resistance: 0.0002 Ohm.


1.5 Motor Supported: Sensorless and sensored brushless motors


1.6 Suitable Brushless Motor: 6T and > 6T


1.7 Suitable Car: 1/5 on-road or off-road cars / trucks for competitive race.


1.8 Size: 68mm(L) * 55mm(W) * 45mm(H).


1.9 Weight: 150g(Without wires)

I hope Redcat brings in the programming cards for the ESC as well. I HATE counting led blinks or listening for buzzes.

Oh that's why you bought that badass REV-I huh?

Hey Demon ask obeast about getting shot in the melon by his own teammate.

LMFAO. That must be a good story to tell when sitting in a bar half plastered. I bet that golf ball of a welt didn't go down for a week.

 

[Obeast44]

No it didn't go down for a while. What was really bad was it was from my old Angel that I had sold the guy. He wasn't used to the super light trigger.....but yes itd be a great story one day when we all meet up.


I do miss the Rev-I, it was frikkin sweet! You are right about the not counting beeps and leds. Ugghh thats terrible.


I also have plenty of paintball scars thats for sure, one on my calf, a few on my arms and hands. I guess thats what I get for playing in shorts


Beside the nut shot I took the next worst hit I ever took was on my trigger hand right in the knuckles between my ring-pinky finger from about 15ft. Man that thing swelled up so fast it wasnt funny. I wore gloves from then on.
