Power consumption in the Vega buggy
Been running some tests to see the power and performance in the Vega with stock motor and TrackPower packs 2-3s, this was logged with an outside temp of -2 degree c, and with packs that have been used for aprox 50 sycles, also the big 26T pinion was used.

RE: Power consumption in the Vega buggy
Despite the coold the packs hold 7,4-7,5v average. There is some very short current spikes, but most acceleration bursts seems to be in the range of 60Amps, and even that is short withing a second, average Amp level is aprox 17Amp. Surface was mixed snow/ice/gras/gravel. With 19T pinion the average current dropps to aprox 14Amps with bursts of 50-55Amps. On 3s Lipo the power and speed are inzaine

RE: Power consumption in the Vega buggy
Its an EagleThree system.
Back from Nuremberg toy fair, i must say that i am VERY imressed by HiMoto stand as with many others. The electric lineup is very very strong with new 1:10 and 1:8 brushless cars... looking good!
Later i will try to messure some 1:8 buggys
