My manual says nothing less than 40c but I see a lot of people using turnigy 20c. Any help would be appreciated.
The Castle manual states to use LiPo packs of at least 5000mah and 30C or a pack that can burst at 125amps and sustain a 90amp draw. If you use a very well engineered pack you could drop down to a 25C.If you change gearing then you may need an even larger pack.
I would not be using any Turnigy pack or any pack from Hobbyk*ng.
