RE: Skidoo Rev XP snowmobile hop-up
No problem ScoobySing
Glad I (we) could help. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Anyone's information on making these things better is welcome.
Yes, 480 should mount right up. Do not go crazy with the kv rating though (4000kv+ is too large a rating). 2300-3300 is best. Remember, the lower the kv, the more power but the slower it will go and vice a versa.
Here is some extra info I have found on ESC selection:
I have tried several:
1) Castle Sidewinder,
2) Associated SC700
3) and the Traxxas Velineon.
What I have found is all but the Traxxas seem to hiccup and stutter some at vehicle startup using a 11.1v lipo. I'm not sure why but my guess is that they cannot supply/dissipate enough current correctly to get the large track going. All seem to work fine when using 7.1v lipos but you will want the extra cell and voltage for more speed.
