Battery question

[Insideout247]

Would anything happen to my motor or esc if I ran a 20/30 lipo on an 1800 kv motor with an 80 esc?

What boat are you using. What size prop and how many cells are you're battery's and how many

[Insideout247]

All stock impulse 31 v2 the batteries are 2s

[1truckerdan]

what mha are the batteries?

[Insideout247]

5000 mah

[1truckerdan]

so if I got it right...... 2 5000mah 2p in series (4s=14.8v) on all stock Impulse 31 V2 except the bigger 80 amp esc?

[Insideout247]

Yes they are 2 2s 20c with 30 burst 5000 mah lipos

Well the stock esc is rated at 60 amps so, the 80 amp ESC should handle all the stock stuff, no problem. The batteries will be fine.

The v2 came with the 80, I had an issue with it on the first day I dropped in. The motor caught fire and I had to send it back to horizon. They said it was a faulty motor. I just want to make sure when I put those back in it don't flame up on me again. I know they said faulty motor I just wanna ask around myself. Sometimes I think these companies will just tell you anything. If there is a battery issue would it damage the esc first?

[1truckerdan]

those batteries should put out 100amps constant and 150amp bursts at 14.8 volts

[1truckerdan]

a good rule of thumb is: if you keep your electronics at less than 80% of their capability, you should be safe.

We've all had stuff come bad from the factory, it happens. Have fun, don't worry.

Time for my education, I don't have to any brushless RC s. what does that mean? How do you come up with those numbers? I usually run nitro and gas cars

[1truckerdan]

ok a battery has a certain amount of energy it can store( mah ) and how fast it can be safely discharged (c rating) re; 5000mah x 20c =100 amps.....5000 x .20 =100

[1truckerdan]

you have a 80amp esc and have 100amps of battery power= so the esc is using at 80% of the batteries capability

here is a good site for you read so you will have a better understanding of brushless systems and lipos....http://www.robotwars.00server.com/tutorials.htmland another
