NuttyProfessor Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 cant find a manual for this thing for love nor money. Its the standard brushed esc fitted to the Carnage/Vantage/Hooligan esc. Its got a set button but id love to find out what its for if its a self set esc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The manual has one line: Rip out ESC and replace with Quicrun 1060, this will improve performance and allow use of LiPo battery packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) funnily enough, it cuts off at 6.5/6.6v so makes me think if it has a cut off. Running 2s and it cuts everytime. I've fitted that esc and the 15t 550 motor in my Vaterra V100 for my other half's boy to use, quick enough and enough torque to get it sideways.

chewbacca Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Last time I plugged a 2s into an FTX ESC it vented on switch on. It did say not to use a lipo so I didn't get too annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) I'm only using a 2250mah Turnigy lipo but it works nicely and gives it a good kick. They all say not to use a lipo but that's because it don't have the alarm or cut off. Fully charged 2s is 8.4, 6 cell nimh approaches 9v fully charged so I never see the problem of running a lipo. Only way I can see it venting is if the polarity was wrong. Edited June 25, 2016 by NuttyProfessor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Polarity was spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) having a mooch about and I've found out what the esc is, its a Hobbyking X-Car brushed, 45a cont 320a burst not even used an Etronix in there the buggers! Which means it does have a lipo cut off and motor temp protection built in, even crawler mode.
