5s or 6s on 2200 kv. Foolish. I should have let the experts straighten it out though. Carry on. Sorry I interfered.Noisy personComment

Well thank you for your wisdom. It's always helpful when someone smugly responds.
It's really amazing that nobody listens to you. The only thing foolish is your response man.
You're welcome to elaborate or give your input, but insulting our intelligence with condescendence is not helpful.There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

At any rate, to the original post, try turning the lvc down. Let us know how that works for ya 👍🏻There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

You'll find very few experienced guys posting on OSE anymore. They don't want to argue with guys that think they know everything but haven't the experience. I'm not sure "smug" is quite right. More like fed up. No.....frustrated is the right word. We've had the kv discussion about a hundred times. I'm also not entirely sure that "nobody" listens to me. Maybe though.
A 2200kv motor, especially a 36mm motor has no business being run on 5 or 6s. Of course the speedo is going to shut down. Shutting down was good fortune. It didn't burn through the deck. This is good. The LVC isn't going to fix it.Noisy personComment

I've run various brands of 36mm and 40mm motors, from 1900Kv to 2200Kv with props from 40mm to 45mm all on 6s and have not experienced one time any temps that would cause a meltdown. Sure, it may be too much for racing, but absolutely fine for saw runs. Hell, even Pro Marine equips their boats with 36mm 2075Kv motors to be run on 6s all day.Last edited by Prodrvr; 09-25-2017, 12:11 PM.Comment

Let me get this str8, as I've been doing this for a number of years now, and am quite familiar with these speed controls and the lvc AND how the esc reacts with the lvc. Youre proposing that the lvc is not the issue here?
Because I've had the same thing happen with much less hot setups than this.
I'm not saying that 5s 2200kv is optimal, but I ran my mean machine on that exact setup for years without issue sport running. Sure it was a little hot for those mid summer days, but not completely unreasonable at all.There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

Perhaps it isn't the lvc. But I just figure why not try it at least. And if he turns the lvc down and the issue goes away, what next?There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

....and I'm spent. Another one bites the dust.
You guys got it all figured out. Have at it.Noisy personComment

I just want to share my experience as a novice to this hobby and maybe others can gain something from it. When I was getting my first boat set up I relied on the experience of the others who new better than I did. I Was all in for 6s and hi kv which in my mind translated to speed and at that time that's all I was worried about. I did a lot of reading and tried to understand the effects of different setups, the electrical theory involved and eventually came to my senses. And it's not to say it shouldn't be done but was rather not for me to attempt being so new to this hobby. If it weren't for the more experienced stepping in and saying hey, maybe you should take it easy and start with a well setup, cool and efficient motor, esc and prop combo I probably would have done some damage due to my lack of knowledge. As the OP stated "I know nothing about electrics" I obviously don't know but perhaps he is in the same situation I was in. Yes the LVC seams to be the problem but I also think there are other things at play and we could possibly help the OP avoid problems and have fun with the hobby, which is what it's all about!Last edited by R2315; 09-25-2017, 08:16 PM.Comment

Let's get all the details of what he is running, prop, batts and what his expectations are and go from there. A lot of great minds on here and I'm sure we can straighten this out constructivelyComment

Certainly there are more things that can be talked about with his setup, but I believe the issue he is having to be the lvc. If I'm wrong about that then so be it.There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

Your not wrong, but I think we can offer more to the OP who may or may not need it. So Blindpew are you good with swapping the esc and going for it? or are you interested in maybe setting it up with a lower kv motor? You tell us and we'll try to help you out.Comment
