g freaks esc question

[arnie84]

So I seach google and most threads r about how crapy the company is and I think there out of businesses? However I bought a used Blast and it has a g freak brushed 12v 35a. Stage 1 esc. Does anyone know the specs? Can it handle 2-3 s lipo? Is 35a peek amps?

Sorry motor limit too? Looks like it has a 12v gapurner in it

They rebrand so pics would help us pinpoint your exact model

Here r the pictures

It shows it has a lov voltage cuttoff for lipo so i would think it would run on 2s but not sure of 3s as its limit says 12v but ill keep researching

Ok thank you! Ran it on 2s tonight and it has a 12v graupner motor went about 25mph for sure faster than stock

Arnie.
I've got a few different types of brushed ESC that state 12V max voltage & I have run them all on 3s lipo with no problem. I would say that your ESC will handle 3s too. They usually build in a bit of a buffer on the voltage & the 0.6V over 12v that a fully charged 3s pack has at 12.6v will be within that buffer. As soon as you apply a load the voltage will drop below 12V.
Of course the trick is to make sure that on 3s you use a prop that will draw less than 35A. The prop being used for 2s packs will probably be too big for 3s.

I pulled out my ProBoat Apache 24 and it has this G freak ESC and motor in it. I don't think I ever used it. I'm going to try it out today. If it don't rain.
