    T180 V1 vs V3

    Do you think V3 delivers more juice to the motor?
    I have run an experiment and will post results in a week or two.
    11
    versions prior to V3

    0
    V3
    0%
    0
    same, only difference is added cap bank

    Due to the overwhelming interest, I will reveal my test.
    This was done in my twin cat that would come back with the left motor always 50deg hotter than the right. As soon as I upgraded the right esc to the equivalent v3 also brand new, magically the temps evened out.

    Thus the answer according to my test is that the v3 provides considerably more power output than preceding versions.

          This will be watched closely, and please forgive me, I know which version you are referring as V3, I think when I started this FE thing, it was already the "Official V2" meaning on SeaKing's Blue label it says V2, but with the added cap bank, they didn't make any new labels for it, am I correct?
          Because as I was scanning Kintec's web site, Jan has made a disclaimer that " There is no such thing as Version3!" in red. lol... http://kintecracing.com/ESC_s.html
          This is just for my clarification, not here trying to be a smart a**!
          Thanks,

            Very interesting! I bought both new on OSE store and didn't even think to look! Now that I look, they say v2!!
            Not sure what the answer is... Steven? Any info?

              The actual v2 was never rebadged. It had 2 extra caps soldered directly to the board. The next version, labeled v2 has the little remotely wired cap bank.

                I am a bit confused, my first one ( 2011 era) had the three "big" ones soldered directly to the board, and it already has V2 on the label, one year plus later they came out with the little remotely wired cap bank. So when you say "Two Extra caps" , were there one point only with one cap?---not possible! I know I am always slow, but now I have myself worried! lol...
                Adding confusion was the last thing I want to do, truly sorry, men...

                  Thanks,
                  Maybe the "official" name should be v2.5 Since there's the possibility that there's no V3 (I also saw that @Kintec), just a V2 with an external / remote cap bank - with puny wires no less.

                  Calling all Steven's, need some help here - please.
