HI Folks,
Looking at playing with an old hull I have, want to build it up to be a quick bunky.
At the moment the boat is a stock V2 with 5.5mm bullets all round, X642 (S&B) and a 50C constant discharge 4s set up. Motor is still the original 1500kV. First up I plan on moving to 5 or 6S depending on how I can get the weight distribution and build up my skill with setup and driving. So first upgrade will be the ESC.
A couple of questions about ESC's:
-Food for thought - The blackjack can run 6s with its 1800kV motor and 60A ESC. Is this a cost saving thing? Why?
-Can you get an ESC that is too big for your set up? ie. 300A esc on 6s for 1500kV (other then cost)
-I have no idea on the motor I will run down the track, from what I hear the higher the cell count the lower the kV to give more torque?
-Torn between the Swordfish 200A, 240A and the seaking 180A v3. I did notice neither swordfish had no external caps, is this an issue?
-My stock set up uses the lipo's to power the receiver, other then having to have an external pack with a new ESC, are there any advantages/disadvantages to having a seperate receiver pack?
From what I have read on the net the biggest issue with both ESC's is the LVC being way off. Now I would prefer to have an all integral LVC that will just slow the boat like it does with the PB ESC so I know it is time to come in (rather then an external LV beeper). The MG stays very dry even with a flip so it is more about reducing clutter in the hull.
Cheers,
BJ
