1/10 ESC's

What would cause an esc to blow?
Which esc to buy?
Are the risks the same on all and then it would be better to buy the cheapest one?
35, 50 or 120amp
sensored or sensoless??

I always thought if you pay enough, the item will last. I saw at the Welkom nats that they all blow up.
I think we must put up a score board but would like to exclude a certain red 12 turn for now..

Thought the same. What does LRP stand for??
Low Runtime and Pricey

that was sharp, now wait for the lawyers letter

Try maar wat daai ou in Jhb gedoen het met die k..ste4X4Xfar sticker op sy bakkie

hy is uitgehaal

Wat wou, hy het n nuwe bakkie en nog n paar rand an n klomp ander dinge gekry. As ons van dieselfde bakkie praat

isuzu

Nou moet jy wag vir die prokureurs brief

We are getting of the subject, stay focussed please

koop so goedkoop as moontlik en hou duim vas.

Dink ek mos, sommer drie spare vir die prys van n dure(ordentlik pas nie meer hier nie) en gas soldeer boud. En met oefening cange dit sommer net so en mis miskien a lap of twee

daar is n plan. Ek dink ons moet meer bedagsaam wees waar ons motors gear en dan moet die timing van die motor ook in ag geneem word. Als dit dra by tot n ESC wat warm word of te veel load kry en dit nie kan hanteer. Die engelse se dit mooiste: "something has got to give"
Motors se temperature behoort gemeet te word om te kyk of hul te hoog gegear is. Die probleem wat ek sien is dat die meeste van die tyd wanneer die goed blaas is dit met die eerste wegtrek of voordat enige iets nog hitte het.

Is dit nie hoekom thermo safe op die goed het nie?

In my geval dink ek dit was maar abuse wat tot die einde van my esc gely het. Too many crashes.

maar die goed moet darem n bietjie impak ook kan vat, racing is hard en almal ry nie so goed nie

I agree they should be able to take some abuse with crashing etc. The problem with thermal cutout is it waits for heat before it cuts. If geared to tall, it takes a huge hammering before the speedo even gets hot and something says cheers. In the other classes the motor blows up or melts like with Ashley the other week. With brushless, it always has torque and you tend to want to gear it up and up.
I suggest in 13.5 on our track, gear at a 40 to 42mm rollout with the turbo function on and timing set to the max. If your driving is not smooth, closer to 40 would be better. That will give you time to check motor temp and compare speed and then gradually gearing up. I ran a 42 rollout last week and my car was crazy fast

I have a 12 turn red one. still in box. 2 shit scared to put it in.
Dont like the smell of burning wires.
