Fighter Cat 3-16s 200a ESC and CC2028 Motor has any body used this combination successfully?

Thanks

I haven't used it on a 2028 yet but have used the esc before with good results, what do you need to know?

[mikem1234]

Just curious of the the best timing and pwm. Motor starts very rough on 3s and gets better the more voltage I use. At 9s it runs fairly smooth but still some cogging on start up and when triggering the throttle.
I have read a couple threads of guys using them in Baja's (seen a video too) and they're having a hard time on start up as well resulting in smoke.

What settings are you currently using? FC recommends setting timing to the number of poles, not D or Y wind like most. I used 5 degrees and 8khz for the motor I ran it on.

It seems to run smoother the more timing I put to it, but have left it at 10, 8khz, hard accel, log curve.

try it on 5deggrees timing, keep it at 8khz, soft accel. and linear throttle.

That is how I have mine set up on smaller motors and it works like a charm.

dont forget to callibrate the throttle first before programming the ESC.

I ran the the 16S 300A FCR speedo with a 2028, settings were 12 deg Advance, linear throttle, 8kHz. I ran mine on 8S and 10S. The low voltage is not helping anything. Try at least 6S if not 8S.

I think I have found about the best settings . 20deg, 16khz, hard accel and logarithmical curve. But this is only on the bench on 9s. Still has a bit of cogging when triggering the throttle but starts smooth. Guess I won't know till spring when I get it wet.

Thanks Guys

Mike, That is pretty high timing when you add load to the motor. I would back it off when the boat goes in the water and up the timing a degree or two per run and check the temps.

Hey TG, I was moving up in increments of 5 with the timing so your probably right. I should back it down to 10 and work up from there when I get it in the water.
I popped one of my ESC's (Ben replaced both with the newer version) on 9s do to the coggong on start up just with a couple pulls of the throttle, so I want to make sure I do all I can to prevent this from happening again.
Thanks

I'd be worried about running a 200a ESC with a 2028................ I have logged over 200a consistently with both my 2028 setups.

[mikem1234]

Make-a-Wake...I was wondering that as well. I should have done more research before I purchased. This will be a twin set up. Still think I will need bigger ESC'S.

[Make-a-Wake]

Twin motor setups tend to draw less amperage due to sharing the load..................they could work if you dont overprop.

[6BOOST]

If its going to be a twin setup, it obviously hasnt been in a boat then, so why don't you see of Ben will swap it for the 16/300?

Although if you ran it on 12s you'd have 8500a capability.
