Anyone running outrunners and HV240's castles?

[JMSCARD]

I have a hv240 sitting around and was thinking of running it with a scorpion 4035... anyone running hv240 castles and outrunners? and what has your experience been?

scorpion..

Mine opinion from that motor with any speed controller:


Use low timing, altough it is a outrunner they recommend a timing between 5 to 10º......
With higher timming you will have a little bit higher power on upper RPM levels, altough you will loose efficiency....

Higher Power=More Amp Draw+Lower efficiency=HEAT

Switching frequency use 8 KHZ period

If you use this you will be satisfied with their performance..it´s not a NEU 2230 but....

I ran a CC HV 240 on a Little Screamers outrunner in my 42" cat for about 2 minutes........

Now I don't have a CC HV 240 anymore.

You might have just had a bad controller. Raddek and I both ran our LS on the Castle HV with no problems other than it studdered the motor at full throttle sometimes. This was on 10 and 12s set ups. Having said that though I dont think we were getting the most out of that motor with this controller.
