Delta63

I recently burned out my esc (water). I'm using this motor: www.losi.com/Products/Features.aspx This is the ES Iburnt out: www.losi.com/Products/Features.aspx
The original ESC was 70A. Could I use a 60A or 80A instead?


These are the ESC's I've been looking at:<xml><officedocumentsettings><o:relyonvml></o:relyonvml><o:allowpng></o:allowpng></officedocumentsettings></xml>

I would go with the 80A esc myself but the 60A would work. Always nice to have the extra room so to speak...

Delta63

So it's OK to have a little extra current? ....whats the difference versus the 60A?

redfisher1974

The motor draws the current, So the rating on the esc is what it can handle. As long as the esc is rated higher then what the motor draws you are good to go.

Delta63

Ah, that makes so much sense now.

I noticed you live somewhat near me. Do you know any local tracks? So far Gopher Dunes has been THE track for me.

nitrosportsandrunner

those ESC's will not work with your motor.
those are for sensorLess motors. You have a sensored motor.

Delta63

Oh.

Here ya go then : hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__28377__Hobbyking_X_Car_120A_Brushless_Car_ESC_se nsored_sensorless_.html

redfisher1974

Good catch, I did not even look that far. Thanks given.

redfisher1974

Yeah I'm about 45 minutes from you. No tracks up here.... I'm more of a road/parking lot basher...

redfisher1974

That should work good.

nitrosportsandrunner

yeh, almost missed it myself
