    cmon guys give me a hand esc trouble

    i have a villain ex with 19 turn komodo motors , and im running 2 4200 7 cell batts ,
    i fried a capacator in my esc replaced it ran fine for 10 min and quit again . shouldnt that novak esc handle this ? or do i need to upgrade to the superduty? any duel motor esc suggestions would be great!!!!:)

    if its dying on you, i would definately upgrade to an esc that can handle the amount of cells and the # of turns of the motors..

      I would think it would handle them. It handles the trinity monster motors. You may want to change the gearing and retest.

          I wouldn't personally trust the EVX esc past 12 cells with the 19t motors in a marine application, I have two villains that I installed the super duty xr in. One with trinity monster big block 12t and the other with big block 14t motors. The super duty handled the low turn motors without any problems, even when the driveline on one side bound up and overheated the motor to the point that it burned the com beyond repair and melted the solder off the motor connections!

                  Here's a pic, it has the same footprint as the EVX, pretty easy to install.

                    also i just bought a m tronics brushless motor esc comb. will that work good in a graupner b24 ? ive got a shockwave 26 coming but is that going to be a waste of time .

                              I'll get some more pics posted tonight or tomorrow, I'm now running trinity monster maxx wild motors with 12 tooth pinions, graupner u-joints, offshore's carbon fiber upgrade props and x447 octura props. I've also added trim tab/turn fin combos that help alot with turning and straight line stability. The props aren't hard to finish, but it does take patience. I don't have any experience with the mtronics or the other two hulls you mentioned, hopefully some of the other members can help you there!
