Hi i just got a st and was wondering if i can use a lipo with the stock ESC I heard from a guy in the local shop that the esc blew from using lipos. ?
Is this true?
Also what size lipos can fit in it.

THANKS

A 2S would be fine on stock esc, be worried about the battery, not the esc. Vammy's or x-power's 1700's fit in the detta chassis nicely and are good price. They were made with dualsky cells.

Thanks who sells the lipos you are speaking of?
Also i put a AI LRP Runner heat sink i had laying around on the stock ESC it was a perfect fit!
Hope it helps the ESC a little bit.. better than nothing i suppose...

Vampower and x-power sells the dualsky cells I was talking about. They were available in 1700 and may be available in 1500 or 1800's now.

Try to use a lvc so the battery don't get pulled down too low in voltage by running too long.

These may fit, have to check the sizes , when I got my 1700's they fit perfectly , but I don't see them anymore.

these are the deminsions you want to look for.. Dimensions: 15mm Thick x 32mm Wide x 85mm Long

and a 3s lipo wont fit.

Well, I tried a 2S Apogee 1500 Lipo and it ran for a while. I was carefull of the heat, so I stopped after about 3 min. I set it in front of my fan to cool and later I plugged it in for another run and nothing happened. No light, no power anywhere. UH OH, thats not good!!

Tech Support as Duratrax said that that Esc cannot handle the lipos. I told him hundreds of people are doing it, he said Oh Well!
HEHEHEHE

I should just go BL!!!

Anyone have any ideas or know of any other Esc that will handle the Lipos?

Please Help!!!

jaejw1

do you want to go BLackman or just keep it brushed

I don't think that the stock ESC and handle anything at all because there frying left and right.

a person i know says to move down to the 11t red pinion when using lipo or it will ruin it.
