Default HELP! Novak Explorer 2 ESC

I have a Novak Explorer 2 ESC but i am worried as i cannot find out what the motor limit is on it and am afraid of breaking it.

Does anyone know the motor limit?

Thanks

Recommendation: whatever the motor limit is, you may go lower, just pay extra attention to your esc as it will overheat quickly.

I have one, 15 turn mod is the limit, I run a 17 turn on it, soon to throw in a 10x3 with a no limit esc. If you go lower, it will indeed get warm, and definately cook Tamiya plugs.

Rec. cont'd: get rid of tamiya connectors, deans plugs on everything. I've seen tamiya's false peak batteries and melt from excessive current.

I agree, I use deans on everything now and get much better results. DO IT!
