Question re: Aquastar 90 amp ESC

[johnmaclean]

Just finished setting this up in my sv27 and programming it using the pistol. It took a little while to interpret the less than ideal instructions posted online at HK.

I had initially left all of the settings at factory default but have since questioned leaving the factory default lvc. It is set to 6.0 volts which I am assuming is based on a single 2s lipo.

Since I am running 2, 2s packs in series it seems to me that the 6 volt cut off would be far too low for the combined packs and I would end up over dischargng them since their combined nominal voltage would be 14.8 volts. I'd probably select a 12 volt cut off for the packs since a 6 volt cutoff would pretty much destroy them.

Anyone familiar enough with setting up these ESC's to comment? I want to make sure I have it right before I run it this weekend.

Thanks for reading this.

You are correct, the 6v is for 2s or 3.0v per cell which is way to low anyway. I use the auto function on my aquastar, but I also ALWAYS time my runs so the lvc shouldnt ever kick in. I have only hit it once on many many runs.

Thanx, Diesel. I appreciate the response. Yep. . . I plan on timing my runs but wanted to make sure that if in the excitement of the thing I forgot to check, I'm not gonna turn the packs into boat anchors.
