Hey, Carlos -

Yeah, I'm over here on RCU, too. The other site is trying my patience lately.

Couple of questions on your Sportster EP. Which pinion are you using? What's you WOT amps? How many amps can that Epic 19T handle?

OK....three questions.

Yeah guys according to the moderators of RCGROUPS, they tell me that they have not been kelpt in the loop with any information as to why the Web Site has gone down or how long it will be until it comes back up.

Using the 15 tooth pinion for 3:1 ratio and the APC "Sport" 9 X 8 Prop. using my 7-Cells, GP-3300mAH, Ni-MH's and it draws 25.6 AMPs at wide open throttle "Steady."

I think that considering the smaller 4 X 5 brushes, this EPIC 19-Turn is perhaps at the higher end limit and estimate maximum 28-30 AMPs at Wide Open Throttle. Of course, since I am using the Stock 30 AMP ESC that the model came with, I will not surpass 30 AMPs in any given configuration.
