Need help with Electronics
I am very new to this hobby and I am setting up my first drift car and would like some advice.
I plan on running a 120Amp Hobbywing Esc and Motor. I want to get a 2S 5000mah Lipo, but I am unsure what C rating to get.
The ESC has a continuous draw of 120A and Burst of 760A. I know a 25c would work for the continuous draw, but I am concerned about the burst.
Here's my math(could be wrong):
120A / 5A(5000mah) = 24, thus the 25c should be fine.
760A / 5A(5000mah) = 152, thus greatly straining the battery.
Would it be better to go with a lower Amp ESC, such as 60?
Thanks!
