ok this past weekend i fliped my spartan for the first time dry it all up all was good till i put it back in the water and when i did this i xperanced high temps and popped a capacitor and water rusty water at that so this is a warning to all of you that have not gotten your esc wet yet seal the caps with something i would suggest liquid electrical tape or something to protect your caps from getting water in them just a suggestion

lol what batteries an motor are you running??

[rinski73]

1515 turnigy 5000mah 35c

[rinski73]

and no ive never had a heat issue or amp draw issue with this setup its a great combo if you set your equipment right

[wilsta67]

that's why you popped a cap, your motor is to high kv another words a hot set up been there done it lol don't blame the esc if you were to run it on 4s or 5s max with that motor esc be fine.

[wilsta67]

anyone else that knows what there doing will say the same.you live n learn always ask questions it will save you money and heart ache

[wilsta67]

i also bet your batteries are starting too puff/ swell up ??

[rinski73]

ive ran this setupfor over 6 months and never a problem i know what the calculations say very aware of the amp draw never had a problem untill it sank

[rinski73]

no the batts do not swell

[rinski73]

and its been on 6s not 4-5s this setup does work and yes i agree its a hot setup but is a good one fast too

[wilsta67]

ive ran this setupfor over 6 months and never a problem i know what the calculations say very aware of the amp draw never had a problem untill it sank

the caps can last a while and they can pop straight away but one thing is certain they will go eventually and if you replace them the will certainly pop again if you continue to run that set up on 6s.

[rinski73]

i am replacing them with 6 50v caps its all good

[rinski73]

hey wilsta do you still have your spartan if so what you running in it

[rinski73]

my temps have never got over 120 on esc and 90 on motor before it sank here is a video
