Anyone actually running 6s through a hydra 120?

[Jesse J]

So why do they rate them for 6S? Seems silly to me that they rate them but then people give advice to not do it. What data is there to support this advice?

It would help if people could give the set ups that made them decide 6S on this ESC is a bad idea. Thanks,

I think that your amps would be in the region of 120-200? The 1527/1.5D can be very tough on the ESCs but on the other hand you will be running twin motors and I think that this can reduce the load on the motors hence amps. I believe that you want a 200A ESC to be safe. The ETTIs are good but I think for smaller motors with short battery wires. Instead o buying the expensive HV hydras you have two choices a) ETTIs b) Himodel200A 3-7s. The HM are pick and try, some have excellent performance some burn just like that. With both cases you might end up with a burnt ESC IMO

im thinking it maybe wise to sell the castles and buy either the 7s rated ettis with cap boards . or something else. any suggestions?

You hit the nail on the head go with the Etti's 150 race no bec with cap boards,they will handle 7S no problem

another possible is the Maytech 200AMP, its one big sucker of an ESC, And proven to work with 10S so 6s should be no problem. Although id probably go the ETTI for your setup.

twin 1515 1.5y motors (1500kv) should do the trick.

I run the 1527/1.5D on 6s2p in a Whiplash 40 hydro with X447/3,,,speeds are around 60+mph,,,,, I am using the HV-180 just to be EXTRA safe,, rather than use a std cc-240....

You should not have any problems running 6s just adjust the size of the prop... I have talked to CC about this and they say the STD 120/240esc's will and can handle 6s,, just not covered under waranty.. I think with twins your amp draw will be fine..

Do you have 5s packs that you could test first?

that is exactly what i mean about CC they state that the esc can handle a certain amount of cells, and then they tell you if you do you are not covered by warranty what a joke

I Agree, that's Laughable

How many CC esc's have YOU owned? How many have failed on YOU??
What esc's do you run?

I personally have ran over 20 CC hydra esc's as well as all the new HV' 120/180 and 240.. All have held up WONDERFULLY,, the 2 that I have had a problem with,, were fixed by CC for NO CHARGE! Never had one go up in smoke either,,, mabey I dont run them hard enough? Oh yea, I do nothing but RACE!

Try and find another american or other company with support for thier esc's like Castle gives out year after year!

None and will never own one i was looking at buying a 240HV for my 51 in Mhz setup but after an email to Joe Ford at cc (yes our esc can handle 12s BUT if you do you void your warranty) I decided to buy a real ESC Schulze

so i guess you can keep your 20 cc esc and good luck

Most people don't want to be held accountable for bad advice even if the equipment was a lemon and would normally work fine at the manufactures specs.

I love those who BASH others without ever having any REAL expirence! Why dont you buy a CC HV 240,,, test it,,, then come back with some real input..

What Schulze esc's do you acually run? Any picts?

Schulze makes a great product and I do own a few,,the 40/160wk esc's i have are wonderful products...But I would never comment on one of thier products without having some HANDS ON expirence with it..

I think that if you where that smart you would have already looked at my profile and my build (lots of pics there )but i can see that your not ,I'm not really here to be your bum pal (i think you guys say Butt Buddy LOL) and i can say what i like really, i base my answer from the reply that i got from CC simple,I can bash cc all i want, i live in a country where i have freedom of speech and can speak my mind,if you don't like it's tough luck

guys on topic please. the thing that throws most of the data that you guys are throwing around are the twins aspect in my opinion. am i thinking wrong the the monster motors spinning smaller props will draw lower amps? Hell i know the 1527s will push a much bigger prop but i need the rpms with out the amps ( i know i must be dreaming)
