Funkyfresh Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Afternoon all, Just bought a Losi Ten SCTE and fitted my existing GT2 ESC into it. It seems to run well with the Tekin Pro 4 motor I’m using, but I just wondered whether I’m limiting the performance in any way as most would suggest a 1/8 spec ESC for this truck? Never had an SC before, and i have to say they are great fun to drive, the Losi is heavy, but planted and goes like poo off a spade...

Si Coe Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 No, you won't be limiting it, except that you can run more cells with 1/8th esc's. On 2S, it will work as well as (if not better) than a 1/8th esc. Just watch the temps as your GT2 will be working quite hard with that motor.

Funkyfresh Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks Si.. As ever your knowledge is encyclopedic! I did run the car very gingerly for a few runs, just to be sure the ESC wasn't going to overheat. Its only slightly warm at the end of a run. The motor on the other had is getting hot, so I’m going to get a fan/heatsink combo for it. I’m pretty pleased with the GT2, its held up well and was a good recommendation (by you) when i wanted something for my Ultima..It can run 3s with upgraded fan, but the motor cant. TBH the truck is pretty fast anyway, so its not an issue. Edited October 16, 2011 by Funkyfresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
