Default RE: newb question

thanks for the website john that helps

what batteries were u planning on using with this setup? u wanna make sure that the pack u have wont be pulling over 20amps, i usually leave a little extra room for about 5-10amps over just in case when u pull those high amp maneuvers. if the pack u have is pulling over 20amps u might have to consider a new speed control and motor. im not very familiar with the motor and speed control u purchased in those links, but the speed control from reading the stuff on the website comes with a bec. if u are using lipoly u might want to get a caste creations speed control becuz recently major companies and such have started to suggested not having 3.0volts per cell cutoff, but instead upping that to 3.2volts per cell. on mine i go to 3.3 volts per cell, mainly cuz im overcautious and dont have extra money to buy new batteries haha let me know what batteries u are using, that might determine what u do.
