wow, if he sells it for that, I'm building 3 and selling them!

[ozzie-crawl]

he has taken out a 23cc motor and put in a fiegao 580l
for that sort of $$$$ i would want at least a neu 1900zr

As nice as it looks that 150A ESC is not enough for it. I'd want a bigger motor too.

Why would someone do all that work and put el chepo esc in there?

[hide]

The ESC is actually pretty good, I have one in my Speed Car and it is very similar to the stuff Speed Passion sell. I'd want at least 200A in a 1/5 truck.

not that I'm trying to sell this over priced electric buggy.
that esc I think will take 1000 Amp spikes?

AFAIK a surge is usually only 75% of the cont. so the 1000A won't be used as the ESC would blow prior to that.

you got the goods Diegoboy
maybe the cont. should be rated higher?

We shall see, I'm using one for speed runs in a 1/10 touring car. Its massive! Only on a 540 3.5T now but will be going with a 1/8 motor and 6S in the future so if it can handle that easily maybe.

[Brushless55]

oh man, not an issue for that car..
I've seen these escs in 1/8th scale MT on 6s without issues

[ozzie-crawl]

if a neu 1900zr (direct zenoah replacment) was used you would probably get away with a 120a hv esc

This truck is way way bigger than a 1/8 MT. Far heavier too.

Awesome, that was just my point to your post..

Ah I get what you meant now! Thought you were talking about the 1/5 truck not my 1/10 TC Yeah I shouldn't have any issues with it, although when you are so overgeared for speed I still need to keep an eye on it.

:p

[Brushless55]

nice
what speeds are you going for?

[hide]

I've only used it once, it ran 53mph with 1/8 throttle! But the problem wasn't power, it was grip. I was using old foams from an old car so there was no grip at all. I've now got some better foams. Still snow on the roads here so I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

I'm hoping to break 100mph. It has the potential to do so. With the current motor I think that 90mph or so is the max on 2S lipo. Once I can get it running at speeds like that consistantly I'll go for a bigger motor and more lipos.
