Hello,
got my Epx Pro a week ago and love it.
My question is what precations should I use if/when using 3C Lipo?
I want to push this baby to its limits.
Regards
the main thing you must to do run 3s lipo is:
pull the wire from the ESC to the cooling fan...and put a connector on said wire so that you can plug it into the reciever's batt port.
If you run a 3s lipo with the fan plugged into the ESC as it is, the fan will get to much voltage and burn out. And if the fan gives out, the ESC may get to hot.
But if you power the fan off the reciever, it will be fine.
Thats all you HAVE to do to run 3s.
However I do reccomend getting a heat sink/fan for the motor. More voltage always means higher temps.
The ESC and Motor are both rated for 3s...and I have run 3s on them before. Just change the fan's power source and add a heat sink to the motor and you are good to go!
