ESC question
Hi Guys,
I'm thinking about using a Graupner Speed 280 motor on a foamie project, but my ECS are for speed 400. is there any harm done here?
I'll prob use a small NiMh or nicad.
thanks.

RE: ESC question
Weight is the only problem with the use of the larger speed controler. You kneed to know the amp. draw of what ever motor you are useing & the max amp. of the speed controler. If the draw of the motor is equal to max or less of the speed controler your fine. The Astro Whatt-Meter #101 is a great tool to tell stactic draw of any electric motor. Good luck

RE: ESC question
There is no problem using a speed controller that is too large. You won't hurt anything, and the 1/2 ounce difference in weight probably won't even be noticeable.
